엔진의 상태진단을 위하여 사용되는 진동 및 초음파 신호는 진동 가속도계와 초음파변환기를 대상 엔진의 취약 부위에 부착하여 측정한다. 이들 센서는 연소와 관련된 고주파진동을 측정하는 능력이 있어서 사용되고 있다. 진동가속도계와 초음파변환기의 선정 및 설치는 진동해석에서 가장 중요한 결정 요소이다. 가속도계의 설치도 주파수응답에 영향을 준다. 초음파변환기는 전자기계적 변환기로서, 진동면에서 발생하여 공기 중으로 전파되는 음파를 감지한다. 초음파변환기는 사용할 수 있는 주파수대역이 아주 협소한 대신 가속도계보다 명확한 신호를 산출한다. 초음파변환기는 사용할 수 있는 아주 협소한 주파수역을 갖는 비용으로 가속도계보다 명확한 신호를 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 원전 비상디젤발전기 엔진 상태진단을 위한 초음파 및 진동센서의 설치방법에 따른 가속도계 및 초음파 센서의 응답 특성을 분석하고 주파수응답에 대한 영향에 따라 여러 가지 설치방법의 검토를 통하여 최적방법론을 도출한 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

In EMAT field, spiral RF coils are much more widely used when compared with solenoid coils. In the field of the magnetostrictive strip transducers for long range ultrasonic testing of cylindrical structures, however, solenoid coils has been used. This seems to be attributed to the difficulty in fabricating low frequency (i.e., large size) spiral coils. In this paper, we describe a method for fabricating spiral coil magnetostrictive strip guided wave transducers from FFC (flexible flat cable). It is demonstrated through a comparison experiment that the spiral coil transducer has much superior performance (sensitivity, SNR, and guided wave direction control capability) than the previous transducer with solenoid coils.

A method to determine the equivalent circuits of broadband ultrasound transducers is necessary for designing filters that match the impedances of the transducer and the analysis of the transducer. A method is proposed to determine the equivalent circuits of broadband transducers with 2 resonances in the frequency band of interest. The circuit parameters are estimated by iterative Levy method with the measured electrical conductance data. The method is illustrated by computing the conductance and susceptance of the equivalent circuits of 3 types of broadband transducers. The equivalent circuit of a transducer.

This work proposes a noncontact ultrasonic transducer for detecting wall-thinning of containment liner plates of nuclear power plants by measuring their thickness without physical contact. Because the containment liner plate is designed to prevent atmospheric leakage of radioactive substances under severe nuclear accident, its wall-thinning inspection is important for safety of nuclear power plants. Wall-thinning investigation of containment liner plates have been carried out by measuring their thickness with contact-type ultrasonic thickness gauge by inspectors and needs a lot of time and cost. As an alternative, an electromagnetic acoustic transducer measuring precisely thickness of containment liner plates without any physical contact or couplant was suggested in this research. A transducer generating and measuring shear ultrasonic waves in thickness direction was designed and wave field produced by the transducer was analyzed to verify the design. The working performance of the suggested transducer was tested with carbon steel plate specimens with various thicknesses. The test result shows that the proposed transducer can measure thickness of the specimens precisely without any couplant and implies that swift scanning of wall-thinning of containment liner plates will be possible with the proposed transducer.
