A novel nondestructive testing (NDT) system, which is able to detect a crack with high speed and high spatial resolution, is urgently required for inspecting small cracks on express train wheels. This paper proposes an improved signal processing circuits, which uses the multiple amplifying circuits and the crack indicating pulse output system of the previous scan-type magnetic camera. Hall sensors are arrayed linearly, and the wheel is rotated with static speed in the vertical direction to sensor array direction. Each Hall voltages are amplified, converted and immediately operated by using, amplifying circuits, analog-to-digital converters and $\mu$-processor, respectively. The operated results, ${\partial}V_H/{\partial}t$, are compared with a standard value, which indicates a crack existence. If the ${\partial}V_H/{\partial}t$ is larger than standard value, the pulse signal is output, and indicates the existence of crack. The effectiveness of the novel method was verified by examine using cracks on the wheel specimen model.

Ti alloy is used for essential parts of aircraft for high temperature environment. Although Ti alloy has excellent performance in regard to mechanical properties, it is difficult ot find fatigue cracks by nondestructive ultrasonic inspection due to its two-phase microstructure, which consists of hard alpha and beta phases. Sound energy reflected from microstructural features in the component produces a background inspection noise which is seen even when no defects are present. This noise can inhibit the detection of critical internal defects such as pores cracks or inclusions. To obtain fundamental data on ultrasonic inspection of Ti alloy, ultrasonic testing was performed using a specimen with small drill holes and ultrasonic wave propagation velocites were measured.

보이드, 이물, 돌기등 고부자 절연체 내의 결함은 이곳에 전계가 가해질 때, 국부적 전계집중을 유발하며, 절연체 내의 미소 방전을 일으킨다. 이 때 발생한 미소 방전에 의해 보이드 표면의 고분자 물질은 기계적, 화학적 열화를 일으키며, 이에 따라 전기적 트리를 형성하게 된다. 이러한 트리는 결국 절연체의 절연파괴로 진전되므로, 고분자 물질을 절연물로 사용하는 전력기기의 경우에는 신뢰성에 큰 문제를 유발한다. 따라서, 이러한 방전(부분방전)이 일어날 때 생기는 전기적 신호를 검출하여, 절연물의 신회성을 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 미소방전이 일으키는 방전의 파형이 트리의 진전에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지에 대해 연구하였다.

In this study, fatigue crack behavior between arbitrarily located defects was investigated by experiment. Especially, stress interaction between micro hole defects and fatigue cracking, and fatigue crack initiation life following the variation of location of micro hole defects were considered. In addition, crack initiation position by micro hole stress interaction and the relationship between stress concentration factor and fatigue initiation life are studied in detail.

Detection of small defects by medical ultrasonic testing when the thermal sprayed coating by $MoSi_2$ on the metal is done. The defects may occur at the bonded surface. So, the detecting method of the defects by non-destructive in spection is desired. Here, in order to examine the possibility of the detection of the small defects by the ultrasonic. The electronic scanning ultrasonic equipment using an array probe developed as the medical ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is applied for the detection of the metal material defects. It's validity is investigated.

Local stress concentrations often cause new micro-damaging induced by a healed pre-existing defects, and the macro-damage is developed by propagation and coalescence of the micro-damage. The micro-damage causes non-linear deformation in rock material. Considerable work has also been applied to describe mathematically the behavior of cracks under stress. Although these mathematical models can usually be made to agree quite well with the measured data, but it is questionable how well the models describe real rock including microcracks in pre-failure state, such as their micro-damage mechanisms. In the present study, micro-damage initiation and propagation in granitic rock under increasing stress were observed directly. Furthermore, a stress analysis considering the bisphere model was carried out using the homogenization theory to analyze the mechanics of the stress-induced micro-damage.

This study investigated the overall dependence of the tensile properties of Al-Si alloys on the distribution aspect of a eutectic Si particle in terms of defect susceptibility to the effective void area fraction, referring to the sum of pre-existing microvoids and the damage evolution of the Si particle. The network morphology of as-cast Al-xSi (x=2,5,8,11) alloys was modified to a granular type via a T4 treatment, after which a computational topography (CT) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations were utilized to evaluate the size and distribution of the microvoids. The CT and SEM analyses indicated that the main cracks grow along local regions that possess the highest porosity level. The local plastic deformation around the microvoids and the distribution aspect of the microvoids induced a practical difference between the iso-volumetric CT measurement and the SEM fractography outcomes. The results demonstrated that the overall dependence of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation on the effective void area fraction is more sensitive to the variation of the area fraction of the Si particle in the network morphology than in the granular type; this is due to the sequential damage evolution of the neighboring Si particles in the eutectic Si colony.

The stress distribution around micro holes and the behavior of stress interaction between micro holes are considerd in the study. Several conclusions are extracted as follows : (1) The stress interaction varies with the distance e between micro holes. When the two micro holes are spaced in such a manner that theri two closest points are separated by a distance of micro hole radius (e=1), stress distribution is affected by a opposite micro hole in all the closest region. In addition, if two closest points are seperated by twice the distance of a micro hole radius (e=2), stress distribution is affected by a opposite micro hole in the region of -0.8.leq.x/r.leq.0.8 and the interaction effect can be neglected for e=4. (2)If the depth becomes larger than the radius, or the radius varies, the shape and magnitude of stress distribution around micro holes varies. (3) Hoop stress around a micro hole for the two dimensional configuration is larger than that of the three dimensional micro hole located on the surface of material for .theta. < 60.deg., but it is reversed for .theta > 60.deg.

본 고에서는 균질화법의 정식화를 이용하여 복합재료의 거시적 균질화된 재료상수를 구하고, 이 재료상수를 이용하여 거시구조물의 변형과 응력을 구하고, 이로부터 다시 미시구조의 응력분포와 변형도를 구하는 방법을 기술하였다. 주기성을 가정한 균질화법은 복합재료 구조물의 물성평가와 거동예측에 대한 매우 적절한 수치해석 방법이다. 균질화법은 이러한 선형변형의 문제뿐만 아니라, 내압을 존재하는 빈공간 소재의 물성, 기지재료와 강화재료 계면의 미끄러짐 등으로 인한 미세 파손현상 등의 예측이 가능하다. 그외에도 탄소성 대변형 거동 이론과 균질화법을 함께 적용하여, squeeze casting에서 발생하기 쉬운 계면분리나 파단 등의 미소결함과 같은 2차 성형성의 예측도 가능하다.
