In this paper, a non-contact microwave technique was presented to detect the surface crack of the metals. An open-ended coaxial cable line was used as a sensor at 11 GHz, and the reflection coefficients were measured by scanning along the metal surface including artificial surface cracks. A parameter, the K value which was defined as the difference between maximum and minimum reflection coefficients, was measured and used to estimate the crack depth. A linear relationship between the K value and crack depth was found. This study showed that non-contact detection of the surface cracks of metals is possible using the open-ended coaxial line sensor at X-band.

In this study, the capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer(cMUT) was developed based on the previous research results. The cross sectional image of the developed cMUT was characterized. To measure the membrane displacement of the cMUT, the Michelson phase modulation fiber interferometer was constructed. The measured membrane displacement was in good agreement with the result of the finite element analysis. To estimate the ultrasonic wave generated by the cMUT, an ultrasonic system including a pulser, receiver and charge amplifier was used. The cMUT developed in this study shows a good performance and hence will be widely used in the non-contact ultrasonic applications.

New nondestructive inspection (NDI) technique to detect the defect in metal was developed in which an electromagnetic field is induced in a metal by AC current flowing in the magnetic coil and the leak magnetic-flux disturbed by defects is measured using a tape-recorder head with air gap. This technique can be applied in evaluating the location and sizing of surface defects in components of the ferromagnetic body by means of the non-contacting measurement. In this paper, we have applied this technique to the evaluation of two-dimensional surface cracks in ferromagnetic metal, and also investigated the influence of the various frequencies and lift-off. Defects were detected with maximum values in the distribution of voltage and it was found that the maximum values tend to increase with the defect depth. Although the maximum values for defects are affected by the frequency and lift-off, the depth of small defects can be estimated from the linear relationship between the depth and voltage rate$(V_0/V_{ave})$.

본 논문은 영상 처리에 의해 광학렌즈의 먼지 및 이물질의 유무를 검출하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 현재 사용되고 있는 비접촉 검사용 비젼 시스템은 마스크 기법을 활용하여 기준 영상에 비해 어느 정도의 잡음이 있는지를 검사한다. 그러나 조명의 정도, 반사 및 이물질의 유형에 따라 검출하기가 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해 파란색 LED 광원을 수평축에 설치하여 양각 부분의 에지들을 더욱 강조하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 이물질 검출은 간단한 소벨 에지 마스크를 사용하고 이물질의 크기에 따라 먼지 및 이물질에 대한 판단을 결정하였다. 크기 및 색상이 틀린 렌즈를 사용하여 실험한 결과 일반 영상에서 검출한 것보다 파란색 LED 광원과 영상처리에 의해 잡음 및 이물질을 강건하게 검출하여 렌즈의 자동 검사용 로봇 비젼 시스템에 적용이 가능하다.

최근 전자제품의 초소형화에 따라, PCB 기판위의 부품의 집적도를 높이기 위해, 기존의 리드대신 부품 밑면에 볼(ball)이 격자형태로 배열되어 있는 BGA(Ball Grid Array) 형태의 팩키지가 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, BGA의 구조상 한번 장착되면 외관검사가 불가능하므로, 장착전 BGA의 검사가 필수적이다. BGA의 검사항목중 가장 중요한 항목인 볼 높이검사를 실시간으로 하기 위해서는 고속 비접촉 3차원 측정기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 일반카메라보다 100배이상 높이 프로파일 취득속도가 빠른 3D smart camera와 레이저 슬릿광(slit ray)을 이용하여 고속으로 BGA 볼의 3D 프로파일을 얻은 후, clipping과 morphological filter를 사용하여 인접한 볼표면에서의 난반사로 인한 에러 데이터를 보정하여 정확한 3D 영상을 취득할 수 있는 시스템을 소개한다.

When a crack exists under a residual stress, for example in welds, the crack can be closed and it shows non symmetric behavior for tension and compression. Ultrasonic detection method for those nonlinear cracks has been developed recently. The method uses the higher order harmonics generating at the crack surface. In this study, parameter study was carried out for the analysis of the harmonics generation at a nonlinear contact interface as a preliminary study for general 3-dimensional cracks. One-dimensional problem with simple bilinear behavior for the contacting surface was considered. The amplitude of second harmonic to the fundamental wave was obtained for various stiffness ratios, incident frequencies, and the contacting layer thicknesses.

As a nondestructive inspection technology currently in use, infrared thermography has gradually expanded its application range to industry. The method detects only defect areas by grafting ultrasound on a technique of detecting infrared energy emitted from all objects with absolute temperature of 0 K and converting this energy into thermography for inspection. Ultrasound infrared thermography has merits including the ability to inspect a wide area in a short time without contacting the target object. This study investigated the applicability of the technique for defect detection using variable ultrasound excitation inspection methods on samples of Terfenol-D, a magnetostrictive material with a tunable natural resonant frequency.

검출부를 목적부분에 접촉시켜 지시부에서 볼수있도록 한 간이형인 것이다. 대개는 서모커플을 검출소자로서 사용하고 있으나 서미스타를 사용한 것도 있다. 서모커플은 시정부다 적게 잡혀 광범위한 온도측정이 가능하나 원리적으로 상온부근의 오차가 크다. 서미스터는 사용온도 범위가 비교적 좁고 시정수도 서모커플에 비하여 크나 상온부근에서 정도는 높다.

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.
