Nonlinear acoustic effect has been considered as an effective tool for the evaluation of material degradation. In this paper, the applicability of nonlinear acoustic effect to the evaluation of degraded 2.25Cr-1Mo steel is investigated. Firstly, artificial aging was performed to simulate the microstructural degradation in 2.25Cr-1Mo steel arising from long time exposure at $540^{\circ}C$. Secondly, ultrasonic nonlinear parameter was quantitatively measured by bi-spectrum and power spectrum. Nonlinear acoustic parameter from bi-spectrum was found to be clearly sensitive to the aging time.

본 연구에서는 매우 작은 틈새를 갖는 미세 크랙을 초음파가 투과할 때, 크랙 면의 부분 접촉의 의한 새로운 음향 비선형성의 발생 구조를 제안하고 그 정당성을 검증하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여, 초음파가 미세 크랙을 투과할 때 부분 접촉 효과에 의해 나타나게 되는 파형을 반파 모델로 모델링하고 이를 통해 고주파 조화 성분(Harmonics)이 발생하는 원인을 제시하였으며 틈새의 크기와 음향 비선형성의 크기와의 상관 관계를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 이를 통해 미세 틈새와 음향 비선형성과의 상관 관계를 밝히고 틈새의 크기가 증가해 감에 따라 음향 비선형성이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Nonlinear acoustic damping of a half-wave acoustic resonator in a combustion chamber is investigated numerically. First, in a baseline chamber without any resonators, acoustic behavior is investigated over the wide range of acoustic amplitude from 80 dB to 150 dB. Decay rate increases nonlinearly with acoustic amplitude and nonlinearity becomes appreciable at acoustic amplitude above 125 dB. Next, damping effect of a half-wave resonator is investigated. Nonlinear acoustic excitation does not affect optimum tuning condition of the resonator, which is derived from linear acoustics. A half-wave resonator is effective even for acoustic damping of high-amplitude pressure oscillation, but its function of acoustic damper is relatively weakened compared with the case of linear acoustic excitation.

The method of measuring the nonlinear effect of ultrasonic waves is suggested as a new approach for the effective evaluation of material degradation. In sonic wave propagation, the existence of nonlinear effect can be demonstrated by the generation of higher order harmonic waves. So, at first, the mechanism of generating higher order harmonic components due to nonlinear effect was explained by using nonlinear elasticity. Next, we attempted to measure how much of the higher order harmonic component was generated in the degraded material. For this purpose, a measurement system mainly based on a high-powered nonlinear ultrasonic signal analysis system was constructed, and SS41 and SS45 specimen intentionally degraded by tensile load and fatigue load were tested. From the results, we confirmed that the measurement of nonlinear acoustic effect may be useful for the evaluation of material degradation.

입사된 음파에 대한 배지동의 발생이 물체내 결함이 존재할 때에 나타나는 중요한 비선형 효과라는 것을 이용하여 단순화된 실험실 조건의 겹쳐진 두 장의 유리판에 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 층상 접합 물체에 있어서의 비파괴 검사법을 위해 접합되지 않은 부분은 두 장의 유리판 사이의 공기 층으로 단순화되었고, 접합되어진 부분은 물 층으로 간주하여 실험을 진행하였고 서로 다른 조건의 두 접합 부분으로부터 발생된 주파수 응답을 관찰하였다. 결과로써 입사된 음파에 대한 배진동의 발생이 공기층에서 두드러지게 나타났지만, 물층에서는 배진동의 발생이 억제되었다. 이 결과로부터 배진동의 발생은 이차원적인 겹쳐진 물체에도 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

In order to develop an ultrasonic evaluation method for properties degradation of high temperature materials, a number of Cr-Mo-V steel samples were heat-treated and their damage mechanism was examined. Ultrasonic parameters such as velocity, attenuation, and more recently developed nonlinear acoustic parameter were measured. The nonlinear acoustic parameter was found to be most sensitive to material degradation mainly attributed to the precipitation of impurities in grain boundaries. When compared to the electrical resistivity results, the nonlinear parameters showed similar behavior. There existed a relatively good correlation between the nonlinear parameter and the fracture appearance transition temperature (FATT) obtained by Charpy V-notch impact test. Based on the relationship between the FATT and the fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$), correlation between the nonlinear parameter and $K_{IC}$ was established.

Damping characteristics of a Helmholtz resonator to passively control the combustion instability were investigated by linear acoustic analysis and atmospheric acoustic tests. Its orifice length and diameter were selected as the design parameters and supplied SPL(sound pressure level) effect on damping characteristics were investigated. Damping capacity is improved by decreasing the orifice length as well as by increasing the orifice diameter. Also, the results showed that the damping capacity of the resonator decreased nonlinearly about above 110 dB and instabilities in the nonlinear region were more effectively suppressed by increasing the orifice diameter.

In this study, the effects of different mix proportions and fire scenarios (exposure temperatures and post-fire-curing periods) on fire-damaged concrete were analyzed using a nonlinear resonance vibration method based on nonlinear acoustics. The hysteretic nonlinearity parameter was obtained, which can sensitively reflect the damage level of fire-damaged concrete. In addition, a splitting tensile strength test was performed on each fire-damaged specimen to evaluate the residual property. Using the results, a prediction model for estimating the residual strength of fire-damaged concrete was proposed on the basis of the correlation between the hysteretic nonlinearity parameter and the ratio of splitting tensile strength.

The fact that material degradation can be evaluated by measuring nonlinear acoustic effect has been proposed by previous studies. The most conventional method to measure nonlinear acoustic effect is to measure the absolute magnitude of fundamental and $2^{nd}$ order harmonic frequency component in the propagated ultrasonic wave. For this aim, power spectral analysis technique has been used widely. However, the power spectral analysis has fatal disadvantage that the gaussian additive noise superimposed in the wave signal remains in the power spectrum domain. Moreover, the magnitude of $2^{nd}$ order harmonic frequency component generated by nonlinear effect is so small that it may be suppressed by the noise remained in the power spectrum. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes an alternative method using bispectrum analysis, which can reduce the effect of addictive gaussian noise and. the nonlinear parameter can be obtained more stably. Simulations showed that the proposed method can obtain the value of nonlinear parameter near to the true value in the case of low SNR signal. Also, in order to confirm the usefulness of our method in actual case, we compared the nonlinear parameter obtained by using both of power spectral and bispectral analysis for several specimen intentionally degraded by fatigue load.

수중에서 발생된 기포에 음파가 입사되었을 때, 입사된 음파는 물 속의 기포들에 강제적인 진동을 주어 새로운 음원으로서 활동하게 한다. 이런 경우 기포의 진동은 비선형적인 진동 특성이 강하게 나타나게 되어, 기포는 입사된 음파에 의존하는 비선형 인자로서 작용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 수중에 발생되는 기포층의 비선형응답 및 다른 형태의 응답을 실험적으로 고찰하기 위하여, 인위적으로 제작된 기포 발생장치를 이용하여 발생된 기포층에 음파를 입사하였다. 이때 입사된 음파는 기포들과의 상호작용을 인하여 여러 가지 응답을 나타내었으며, 비선형 응답으로써 배진동 세기의 현저한 증가와 합주파수 음파 발생 등이 두드러지게 나타났다. 또한 개개 기포의 공진 주파수 근처에서는 물론, 그보다 높은 고주파수에서도 합주파수 형태의 비선형응답이 매우 특징적으로 관찰되었다.
