EMAT는 비접촉으로 초음파를 송수신 할 수 있는 탐촉자로서 시험체와 탐촉자간의 접촉을 위한 매개 물질이 필요치 않으므로, 움직이고 있는 물체에 초음파탐상법을 적용하고자 하는 분야와 초음파의 속도를 정밀하게 측정하고자 하는 분야에 주로 응용된다. 구체적으로는 길이가 긴 튜브류의 결함 탐상, 용접중인 재료의 용접상태 감시, 기차바퀴 및 레일의 결함 탐상, 고온상태인 재료의 결함 탐상 등이 비접촉 특성을 이용하여 적용될 수 있는 분야이며, 재료의 집합조직 및 소성이방성의 측정, 재료의 미세조직 및 기계적 강도의 예측, 그리고 잔류응력의 측정 등이 정밀한 초음파속도 및 감쇠의 측정으로부터 적용될 수 있는 분야이다. EMAT가 일반적인 접촉식초음파탐상법에 비하여 특별한 분야에의 응용에 큰 장점을 가지고 있지만, 낮은 에너지 전환효율, 넓은 불감영역, 그리고 사용주파수의 한계 등의 문제를 가지고 있기 때문에 기존의 접촉식 방법의 적용이 용이한 분야에의 적용은 필요하지 않다. 그러나 특별한 목적과 용도에의 적용 필요성이 생길 경우에는 적절한 연구를 통하여 알맞은 탐촉자를 제작하고 탐상 방법을 개발함으로서 본래의 목적에 알맞은 탐상이 수행될 수 있다.

In practical applications of guided wave techniques, it is very important but also difficult to identify the propagating modes, and it is preferred to generate and detect a single or less dispersive mode. Also the noncontact method is required in the automated field application. So this paper considers a non-contact guided wave technique with enhanced mode-selectivity, where a laser beam illuminated through arrayed line slits is used as the transmitter and the air-coupled transducer is used as the receiver. The line arrayed laser illumination is a wavelength matching technique that ran generate only a few modes. The air-coupled transducer detects the leaky wave of the propagated guided wave, and by tuning its detection angle we ran detect the selected single mode. Experimental results for a 1mm thick aluminum plate proved the usefulness of the proposed method, and especially it was shown that this method was powerful in the generation and detection of the $a_0$ mode.

A new dimension measuring method for the measurement of diameter of an object has been developed using laser triangulation. The 3D data of an object was calculated from the 2 dimensional image information obtained by the laser stripe using the laser triangulation. The system that use existing theory can measure the diameter of hole not only in a normal plane but also ill an incline plane. However, in the existing theory, since the lens with fixed feral length was used, the area of measurement was fixed. The simplest way to solve this problem is to change distance between a CCD camera and object. Other way is to use a zoom lens having variable focal length. In this paper, the zoom lens with variable focal length was used. Therefore, we ran experiment with magnification that is optimized according to size of object using zoom lens with variable focal length.

This paper presents a non-contact inspection system for automatically measuring the thickness of an aircraft wing rip product. In order to conduct the inspection of the wing rib thickness automatically, a non-contact laser displacement sensor, end-effector, and a robot were selected for use. The non-contact type inspection system was evaluated by measuring the measurement deviation of the rotation direction of a C-type yoke end-effector and the transfer direction of a V-slim end-effector. In addition, the non-contact inspection system for wing rib thickness measurements was validated through thickness measurements of a web, flange, and stiffener.

In a shipbuilding process, thermal damage to the ship structure at the rear end results from an excessive heat input and conduction during welding process. To prevent such damage, appropriate control of the heat input, based on welding temperature measurement, is required. For temperature measurement, contact and non-contact methods are available; the thermography system is a popular non-contact temperature measurement. When the intensity of radiation from a high-temperature object is excessive, however, detecting the sensors of ordinary thermography systems leads to an inability in measuring the temperature due to saturation. Hence, this study suggests use of a neutral density filter that prevents an excessive amount of radiation from being accumulated in a thermography system, and thus makes it possible to quantitatively measure an object's temperature as high as $3000^{\circ}C$.

A laser ultrasonic inspection system is a non-contact inspection device which generates and measures ultrasonics by using laser beam. A laser ultrasonic inspection system provides a high measurement resolution because the ultrasonic signal generated by a pulse laser beam has a wide-band spectrum and the ultrasonic signal is measured from a small focused spot of a measuring laser beam. In this study, galvanic corrosion phenomenon was measured by non-destructive and non-contact method using the laser. The case of mixed foreign material on the part of corrosion was assumed and laser ultrasonic experiment was conducted. Ultrasonic was generated by pulse laser from the back side of the specimen and ultrasonic signal was acquired from the same location of the front side using continuous wave laser and Confocal Fabry-Perot Interferometer(CFPI). The characteristic of the ultrasonic signal of exist foreign material part was analyzed and the location and size of foreign material was measured.

본 논문에서는 강자성체 물질을 사용하는 구조물들에 발생되는 결함을 와전류탐상을 이용하여 검출하기 위한 비파괴검사방법에 대하여 제시하였다. 와전류탐상은 전자기비파괴검사방법으로 초음파탐상법과 같은 방법에 비교하여 비접촉식이며 고속으로 검사가 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 사용되는 매질인 강자성체의 경우 비자성체에 비하여 표피효과에 의한 침투깊이가 얇기 때문에 강자성체를 위한 주파수를 별도로 선정하여야 한다. 또한 고속으로 움직이는 경우 속도기전력에 의한 효과를 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 와전류센서를 제작하여 실제 강자성체에 적용하는 경우 어떠한 특성을 나타내는가에 대하여 고찰하였다.

와전류를 이용한 전위강하법은 시험체에 와전류를 비접촉식으로 발생 시킬 수 있어 기존의 방식에 비해 결함 검출시 발생하는 오차를 줄일 수 있고 물체의 결함 검출신호의 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 와전류를 이용한 전위강하법의 전자기 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석과정에서 해석시간을 단축시키기 위해 각 영역별로 MVP, ESP, RMSP, TMSP의 미지수 변수를 부여하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 기존의 전위강하법에 와전류의 개념을 적용하기 위해서 결함의 깊이와 주파수에 대한 영향을 검토하였다. 정확한 결함검출을 위해 검사과정을 초기검사와 정밀검사로 나누어서 실시하여 결함의 위치를 $\pm$2[mm]까지 도출해 낼 수 있었으며 결함의 폭과 크기도 어느 정도 추측해 낼 수 있었다.

Fiber reinforced plastic material should be inspected in fabrication process in order to enhance quality by prevent defects such as delamination and void. Generally, ultrasonic technique is widely used to evaluate FRP. In conventional ultrasonic techniques, transducer should be contacted on FRP. However, conventional contacting method could not be applied in fabrication process and novel non-contact evaluating technique was required. Laser-based ultrasonic technique was tried to evaluate CFRP plate. Laser-based ultrasonic waves propagated on CFRP were received with various transducers such as accelerometer and AE sensor in order to evaluate the properties of waves due to the variation of frequency. Velocities of laser-based ultrasonic waves were evaluated for various fiber orientation. In addition, laser interferometry was used to receive ultrasonic wave in CFRP and frequency was analysed.
