The impact-echo test, which is to evaluate the integrity of concrete and masonry structures nondestructively, is an excellent method in the practical application. However, there are cases that the Impact-Echo testing nay result in the low reliability. In this study, the reliability of the Impact-Echo testing was investigated through the numerical simulation of the Impact-Echo testing. The finite element analysis and the analysis based on the dynamic stiffness matrix method was incorporated for the numerical simulation, in which the cases of a sandwiched shear stiffness, an incr＋easing or decreasing stiffness, and a homogeneous stiffness. Based on the results of the analysis were considered, this study proposed the approaches to Improve the reliability of the Impact-Echo testing.

Automatic differentiation automatically calculates the derivatives of a function using the chain rule once the forward operation of a function is defined. Given the recent development of computing libraries that support automatic differentiation, many researchers have adopted automatic differentiation techniques to solve geophysical inverse problems. We analyzed the advantages, disadvantages, and performances of automatic differentiation techniques using the gradient calculations of seismic full waveform inversion objective functions. The gradients of objective functions can be expressed as multiplications of the derivatives of the model parameters, wavefields, and objective functions using the chain rule. Using numerical examples, we demonstrated the speed of analytic differentiation and the convenience of complex gradient calculations for automatic differentiation. We calculated derivatives of model parameters and objective functions using automatic differentiation and derivatives of wavefields using analytic differentiation.

Propagating waves (flexural, longitudinal and shear waves) travelling with constant amplitudes and evanescent waves decaying exponentially are generated on a cylindrical shell. Evanescent waves are generally generated in the vicinity of an vibration excitation point and near ends of the shell. But the evanescent waves can generates strong axial vibration at the ends of the cylindrical shell. The strong end axial vibration due to those evanescent waves has been observed in an author's previous paper dealing with measurements of the in-plane axial vibration of a finite cylindrical shell. In this paper the strong end axial vibration due to the evanescent waves has been theoretically analyzed. In order to analyze the vibration of the cylindrical shell, wave propagation approach has been implemented. Comparison between theoretical and experimental results for the axial vibration of the shell showed that the strong evanescent wave can be generated due to mode conversion (conversion from flexural wave to evanescent wave) at the ends of cylindrical shell. It also showed that the evanescent wave can generate the strong axial vibration near the ends of the cylindrical shell and that it can have effect even on 1/3 of the total length of the shell.

평판의 일반적인 형태의 진동을 해석하기 위해서는, 외면진동뿐만이 아니라 내면진동을 해석하여야 한다. 평판 내면진동의 경우 탄성파인 종파와 전단파의 전파에 의한 영향으로 발생하며, 진동 변위, 진동 에너지, 진동 인텐시티 등의 특성들을 이해하기 위해서는 각 파동의 영향을 분리하여 낼 필요가 있다. 내면진동을 해석하기 위하여 진동 모드법을 사용할 수 있으나, 각 파동에 의한 영향을 분리하여 낼 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 진동장을 탄성파들에 의한 영향의 합으로 나타냄으로써, 각 파동에 의한 진동 변위, 진동 에너지, 진동 인텐시티 둥의 영향들을 분리할 수 있는 해석 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이러한 해석 방법을 이용하여 점가진력에 의하여 강제 진동하는 평판의 내면 진동장에 대한 수치 계산을 수행하였다. 결과로써 진동 변위, 진동 에너지, 진동 인텐시티 등을 이루는 탄성파들의 기여도와 특성들을 분석함으로써 본 해석기법의 유용성을 보였다.

Recently seismic tomography has been widely used to visualize subsurface structure for resource explorations and construction site evaluation. We studied a way to include fresnel zone concept in the conventional ray-based traveltime tomography. The algorithm developed uses the same order of computing time as the conventional traveltime to mography but incorporates the rigorous wavepath concept of wave-equation tomography. Some experiments to synthetic and real data show reasonable results compared to conventional ray-based traveltime tomography.

The accurate analysis of ultrasonic wave propagation and scattering plays an important role in many aspects of nondestructive evaluation. A numerical analysis makes it possible to perform parametric studies, and in this way the probability of detection and reliability of test results can be improved. In this paper, a finite element method was employed for the analysis of ultrasonic wave propagation in anisotropic materials, and the accuracy of results was checked by comparing with analytical predictions. The element size and the integral time step, which are the critical components for the convergence of finite element solutions, were determined using a commercial finite element code. Some differences for wave propagation in anisotropic media were illustrated when plane waves are propagating in a unidirectionally reinforced composite materials. When plane waves are propagating in nonsymmetric directions in a symmetric plane, deviation angles between the wave vector and the energy vector were found from finite element analyses and the results agreed well with analytical calculations.

This work presents a vulnerability assessment procedure for a complex structure using vibration characteristics. The structural behavior of a three-dimensional framed structure subjected to impact forces was predicted using the spectral element method. The Timoshenko beam function was applied to simulate the impact wave propagations induced by a high-velocity projectile at relatively high frequencies. The interactions at the joints were analyzed for both flexural and longitudinal wave propagations. Simulations of the impact energy transfer through the entire structure were performed using the transient displacement and acceleration responses obtained from the frequency analysis. The kill probabilities of the crucial components for an operating system were calculated as a function of the predicted acceleration amplitudes according to the acceptable vibration levels. Following the proposed vulnerability assessment procedure, the vulnerable positions of a three-dimensional combat vehicle with high possibilities of damage generation of components by impact loading were identified from the estimated vibration responses.

해수의 물리적 성질 변화에 의한 수중음속 변화는 수중음파 전파에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 매질변동에 의한 음파 전파경로 변동특성, 즉 음파 도달시간 변동에 의한 매질변위량 추정으로 해양을 탐사하는“해양음향 토모그라피”를 운용하기 위하여 비균질 매질에서의 음파 전파경로 파악이 우선이다. 수심이 일정한 비균질한 매질에서의 음파 전파경로를 파악하기 위해 파동방정식의 해를 Ray theory에 의거 ray path를 구하고 송,수신기 사이를 연결하는 eigenray 정보를 얻었다. 음원의 주파수가 400Hz($\pm$25Hz), pulse length가 20ms인 LFM pulse를 사용하였다. 이 음원을 동해의 최소음속층에서 송,수신하였을 경우 음원에서 150Km 떨어진 수신기에 도달한 신호는 평균음속분포 일 때 보다 약 66ms 정도 빨리 도착한다. 또한 Eigenray 정보에 의거 모의된 수신신호는 토모그라피 운용을 위한 필수 조건인 ray path의 식별, 안정성, 그리고 분해능을 만족한다. 또한 모의 수신신호 음파 도달시간 변동 분석으로 송,수신기 사이의 매질 변동을 파악 할 수 있다.

Since seismic inversion is based on the wave equation, it is important to calculate the solution of wave equation exactly. In particular, full waveform inversion would produce reliable results only when the forward modeling is accurately performed because it uses full waveform. When we use finite-difference or finite-element method to solve the wave equation, the convergence of numerical scheme should be guaranteed. Although the general proof of convergence is provided theoretically, the consistency and stability of numerical schemes should be verified for practical applications. The implementation of source function is the most crucial factor for the consistency of modeling schemes. While we have to use the sinc function normalized by grid spacing to correctly describe the Dirac delta function in the finite-difference method, we can simply use the value of basis function, regardless of grid spacing, to implement the Dirac delta function in the finite-element method. If we use frequency-domain wave equation, we need to use a conservative criterion to determine both sampling interval and maximum frequency for the source wavelet generation. In addition, the source wavelet should be attenuated before applying it for modeling in order to make it obey damped wave equation in case of using complex angular frequency. With these conditions satisfied, we can develop reliable inversion algorithms.
