An automated ultrasonic velocity measurement system adopting pulse-echo-overlap (PEO) method has been constructed, which is known to be a precise and versatile method. It has been applied to velocity measurements for 5 kinds of engineering plastic cores and compared to first arrival picking (FAP) method. Because it needs multiple reflected waves and waves travel at least 4 times longer than FAP, PEO has basic restriction on sample length measurable. Velocities measured by PEO showed slightly lower than that by FAP, which comes from damping and diffusive characteristics of the samples as the wave travels longer distance in PEO. PEO, however, can measure velocities automatically by cross-correlating the first echo to the second or third echo, so that it can exclude the operator-oriented errors. Once measurable, PEO shows essentially higher repeatability and reproducibility than FAP. PEO system can diminish random noises by stacking multiple measurements. If it changes the experimental conditions such as temperature, saturation and so forth, the automated PEO system in this study can be applied to monitoring the velocity changes with respect to the parameter changes.

This paper presents a dynamic crack propagation algorithm with Rayleigh damping effect based on the MLS(Moving Least Squares) Difference Method. Dynamic equilibrium equation and constitutive equation are derived by considering Rayliegh damping and governing equations are discretized by the MLS derivative approximation; the proportional damping, which has not been properly treated in the conventional strong formulations, was implemented in both the equilibrium equation and constitutive equation. Dynamic equilibrium equation including time relevant terms is integrated by the Central Difference Method and the discrete equations are simplified by lagging the velocity one step behind. A geometrical feature of crack is modeled by imposing the traction-free condition onto the nodes placed at crack surfaces and the effect of movement and addition of the nodes at every time step due to crack growth is appropriately reflected on the construction of total system. The robustness of the proposed numerical algorithm was proved by simulating single and multiple crack growth problems and the effect of proportional damping on the dynamic crack propagation analysis was effectively demonstrated.

The spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves (SASW) method is a nondestructive testing method based upon generation and detection of elastic stress waves. SASW is widely used as one of the techniques to determine stiffness profile in engineering geophysics. The essential steps involved are construction of an experimental dispersion curve from data collected in situ, and inversion of the dispersion curve to determine the stiffness profile. The main object of this study is to derive an analytical Jacobian for the inversion. If we set the subsurface to N homogeneous layer, it could save 2N times Jacobian calculation compared to numerical jacobian calculation during inversion. To reconstruct a stiffness profile, constrained damped least square method was applied for the inversion. The algorithm was tested for the numerical data and for the real asphalt and tunnel data, which were able to verify the stiffness profile. The stiffness profile reconstructed by the algorithm showed the possibility to appraise the soundness of tunnel with applications SASW.

A previous velocity measurement system for marine sediment had several problems such as the errors occurred when picking first arrival time and the inconvenient measurement procedure. In order to resolve these problems, we developed a new acoustic properties measurement system by using PXI (PCI eXtentions for Instrumentation) module based on LabVIEW. To verify the new system, we measured the velocity and attenuation of sediment using the new system in a parallel with the previous system under the same experimental environment. The result of measurement showed 1~2% margin of error for the velocity as well as similar attenuation values. We concluded that the new system can efficiently measure the acoustic properties of marine sediment. It also has an advantage to construct the database of acoustic data and raw signal.

The Kunsan basin is a pull-apart basin which was formed during Tertiary. The pre-Tertiary section consists of various rock types, such as meta-sediments, igneous rocks, carbonates, clastics, and volcanics. Tertiary sections are the main targets for the petroleum exploration. In order to determine the optimum processing parameters of the basin, about 12 kinds of test processings were performed. The first main steps for the quality control is to determine the noisy or bad traces by examining the near trace section and shot gathers. The true amplitude recovery was applied to account for the amplitude losses due to spherical divergence and inelastic attenuation. Source designature and predictive deconvolution test were conducted to determine the optimum wavelet parameters and to remove the multiples. Velocity analysis was performed at 1km intervals. The optimum mute function was picked by locating the range of offsets which gives the best stacking response for any particular reflections. Post-stack deconvolution was tested to see if the quality of stacked data improved. The stacked data was migrated using a finite difference algorithm. The migration velocity was obtained from the stacking velocities using the time varying percentages. The AGC sections were provided for the structural interpretation. The RAP sections were used for DHI analysis and for the detection of volcanics.

작은 직경의 외부 전극 형광램프와 냉음극 형광램프는 LCD-TV의 광원으로 사용하고 있다. 교류 전압으로 구동되는 외부전극 형광램프와 교류 및 직류 전압으로 구동되는 냉음극 형광램프에서 광 방출 신호를 관측하였다. 이러한 빛은 양광주의 고전압부에서 접지부로 $10^5-10^6\;m/s$의 속도로 전파한다. 램프에서 방출된 광이 양광주를 따라 전파하는 현상은 일반 형광등과 네온싸인관에서도 동일하게 관측된다. 이러한 빛의 전파 현상은 지난 70년의 형광 램프 역사상 처음 관측되었다. 양광주 영역의 플라즈마는 높은 전압과 수 십 kHz가 인가되는 전극부에서 발생한 고밀도 플라즈마의 확산으로 생성된다. 고전압이 인가된 전극부에서 발생한 고밀도의 플라즈마는 인가되어지는 구동 주파수에 해당하는 섭동으로 작용하여 플라즈마 파동으로 양광주 영역으로 전파된다. 이러한 플라즈마 파동은 고밀도 전극부에서 저밀도 양광주 영역으로 플라즈마 밀도의 차이에 의하여 된다. 이때 파동의 전파 속도는 관 전류에 따라 달라진다. 타운젠트 방전 이전의 저 전류일 때는 ${\sim}10^5\;m/s$이며, 타운젠트 방전 이후 글로우 방전에서의 전파 속도는 ${\sim}10^6\;m/s$로 증가한다. 또한 타운젠트 방전 이전의 저 전류에서는 파동이 감쇠하는 경향을 보이며, 고 전류에서의 파동의 감쇠는 매우 작다. 관측된 광신호의 결과로부터 전파되는 파동의 원인은 플라즈마 확산에 의한 밀도의 차이에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 즉, 수 십 kHz의 구동 주파수를 갖는 플라즈마 파동이 양광주의 플라즈마 밀도 구배에 의하여 전파된다. 이러한 파동은 높은 전압이 인가되는 전극부에서 낮은 전압부로 향하는 조류의 흐름과 같이 나타난다.

A forced vibration model of a rail system was established using the Timoshenko beam theory to determine the dynamic response of a rail under time-varying load considering the damping effect and stiffness of the elastic foundation. By using a Fourier series and a numerical method, the critical velocity and dynamic response of the rail were obtained. The forced vibration model was verified by using FEM and Euler beam theory. The permanent deformation of the rail was predicted based on the forced vibration model. The permanent deformation and wear were observed through the experiment. Parametric studies were then conducted to investigate the effect of five design factors, i.e., rail cross-section shape, rail material density, rail material stiffness, containment stiffness, and damping coefficient between rail and containment, on four performance indices of the rail, i.e., critical velocity, maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal stress, and maximum shear stress.

해상 선박의 안전을 위해 해저의 객체 및 장애물의 정확한 탐지를 위해 해저환경에서 감쇠현상이 비교적 적은 음파 기반의 소나가 널리 활용된다. 그러나 기존의 소나 영상 시뮬레이션은 고해상도의 영상, 잡음 처리, 해저지형과 객체 데이터 등의 방대한 데이터 처리로 인해 물체 탐지 및 식별을 위한 처리속도와 비용이 크게 증가한다. 이러한 문제를 최소화하기 위해서 해저지형, 객체 생성과 잡음 처리 모델을 Multi-Threading, SIMD 등 병렬처리를 적용하여 처리속도를 최적화 한다. 본 논문에서는 혼합된 병렬처리 방법을 적용하여 소나를 기반으로 해저 환경 시뮬레이션을 위한 모의 신호를 생성하는 성능을 향상시킨다. 병렬처리로 인해 개선된 성능을 순차처리에 따른 속도와 실험적으로 비교한다.

We studied in-line monitoring the dispersion of highly energetic material simulant by a twin screw extruder having a high temperature ultrasonic system. The simulant suspension system consisted of ethylene vinyl acetate and Dechlorane plus 25 as binder and filler, respectively. With increasing filling fraction, the ultrasonic velocity was not changed but the attenuation linearly decreased. It was possible to estimate the solid fraction of well dispersed suspension system by measuring ultrasonic attenuation. The ultrasonic attenuation of samples filled over 60 v% approached straight line with increasing filling fraction when the samples was extruded repeatedly. It was due to the enhanced dispersion of solid particles in the suspension system. It was believed that the degree of dispersion and filling fraction could be obtained by combination of on-line measurement like ultrasonic attenuation and off-line analysis like TGA and SEM with image analyzer.

The necessary and sufficient condition for causality of a physical system can be expressed as Kramers-Kr$\ddot{o}$nig (K-K) relation. K-K relation for acoustic wave is a Hilbert transforms pair between dispersion equations of phase speed and attenuation. In this study, we quantitatively compare the acoustic measurements in water-saturated glass beads for the frequency ranges from 400 kHz to 1.1 MHz with the predictions of differential form of K-K relation obtained by Waters et al. For media with attenuation obeying an arbitrary frequency power law, acoustic measurements show good agreements with the predictions of Kramers-Kr$\ddot{o}$nig relation.
