유리와 같이 취성이 큰 재료의 파단면을 주의하여보면 반원형의 곡선이 이따금씩 여러개 나타나 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이것은 진행 중에 있는 균열이 어떠한 부분으로부터 나온 음파(횡파)와 만났을 때 일어나는 흔적으로 Wallner선 이라고 한다. 초음파 Fractography는 파괴 시험시 강력한 초음파를 사용하여 파단면에 이와 같은 Wallner 선을 인공적으로 발생시켜, 파면해석을 통하여 파괴속도등 파괴연구에 필요한 정보를 얻는 수법이다. 이 수법은 유리와 같은 비정질 탄성태의 파괴속도 측정을 위해 Kerkhof에 의해 최초로 고안되었으며, 수지와 같은 점탄성재료에 대해서는 Takahashi에 의하여 PMMA(Polymethy1 Methacrylate)재에 강력한 초음파를 사용하여 그 가능성이 제기된 이후 PMMA와 EPOXY재등의 점탄성재료의 파괴속도측정과 파괴강성등의 측정에 본격적으로 연구되기 시작하였다.

The objective of the present research is to evaluate the wave propagation velocity and attenuation characteristics of kaolin clay specimens using ultrasonic testing. Test specimens with known initial micro-fabric were prepared using a two-stage slurry consolidation technique. For a known state of stress conditions, initial void ratio, and micro-fabric, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the longitudinal wave propagation velocity and associated damping behavior. The effects of major variables involved in ultrasonic testing of cohesive soil were considered in this study. Ultrasonic velocity was not correlated to the microfabric structure under the given consolidated pressure whereas ultrasonic attenuation was affected by the microstructural properties of the specimen.

최근 진행파형 초음파 모터는 그 구조가 간단하고, 저속 고 토크이어서 직접 구동()용으로 많은 호응을 얻고 있다. 또한 응답이 빠르고, 정지 토크가 크며 설계자유도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 운전시 소음이 없고 자계에 강해 자동화 설비 분야 등 산업 전반에 걸쳐 매우 각광을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 모터의 2상 입력전원의 위상차를 조절하여 속도와 토크 특성을 이론적으로 고찰하고, 이를 토대로 위상차 제어기를 설계 제작하였다. 그리고 이를 이용하여 위상차 제어방식을 채용한 경우 초음파 모터의 위치 및 속도제어는 물론 간단한 알고리즘으로 토크 제어가 가능함을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 실험 결과 위상차 변화에 따라 속도가 토크가 거의 비례해서 변화하였다. 이것으로 전원 전압의 위상차 조절을 통해서 속도와 토크를 동시에 제어할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 토크센서 없이 각도 센선 만으로도 위치제어는 물론 토크 제어도 큰 오차 없이 행할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

Ultrasonic nonlinearity is very sensitive to changes in material properties. This paper describes the study of the correlation between heat treatment and ultrasonic nonlinearity by taking nonlinear factors into consideration. A modified formula was proposed for ultrasonic velocity. This formula indicated that the changes occurring in nonlinearity during heat treatments cause changes in the ultrasonic velocity. The experimental results show that the relative nonlinearity parameters calculated from the modified ultrasonic velocities and the ratio of amplitudes of the second harmonic and fundamental wave are in good agreement. The experimental results prove that heat treatment can result in changes in material nonlinearity. Moreover, the relative nonlinearity parameter calculated from the modified velocity formula is has a large value. Since this parameter has high sensitivity to changes in nonlinearity, it can be used to represent the relative nonlinearity change calculated in this study by using the modified formula for ultrasonic velocity.

Uniaxial stress in ail axisymmetric body is the simplest example of ultrasonic stress measurement. However, the birefringence theory cannot be applied for axisymmetric solids because the axisymmetric stress field in the body does not make shy velocity difference in SH waves propagating in the axisymmetric direction. Conventional ultrasonic technique using the time-of-flight method also needs ultrasonic lengths of the unstressed and stressed body, which is very impractical. In this paper, the birefringence effect in axisymmetric solids under uniaxial stress is formulated to evaluate the axial stress inside the solid without measuring tile ultrasonic length. Theoretical derivation for the birefringence characteristics in the axisymmetric solids is made using the longitudinal and shear waves instead of two horizontally polarized shear waves. Tension test is conducted for carbon-steel specimen to measure the birefringence coefficient and investigate the validity of the theory. It is observed from experimental results that the velocity difference in two differently polarized acoustic waves is proportional to the uniaxial stress in the axisymmetric solid with a good agreement with the theoretical value.

The objective of this study was to re-evaluate ultrasound attenuation as an indicator of bone properties. Ultrasound attenuation(BUA), were measured in the three orthogonal directions of trabecular bone cubes, Measurements of bone mineral density(BMD) were made using quantitative computed tomography and apparent density by weighing bone specimens and measuring their volume. Ultrasonic modulus was calculated from the standard equation with apparent density and ultrasound velocity. Ultrasound attenuation at a frequency of 0.5 MHz and BUA were correlated with BMD and ultrasonic modulus in the anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, and superior/inferior directions. Analysis of correlations demonstrated that attenuation at 0.5 MHz was superior to BUA in describing both BMD and elastic modulus of trabecular bone. This result may be used to improve current ultrasound diagnostic techniques for assessing bone status.

To measure burning rate of solid propellants using ultrasonic technique, a special closed bomb and an ultrasonic and pressure measurement system are fabricated. During pressurization tests and burning tests on propellants, ultrasonic and pressure signal are acquired in realtime fashion by this system. Based on acquired signals, analysis programs using two different algorithm which can measure burning rates corresponding to pressures are compared. One algorithm is to correct sound velocity variation of propellants and solid couplant, another one is only to correct sound velocity variation of propellants. And accuracies of homing rates measured through these algorithms are calculated through comparison with homing rates measured using strand burner method.

Ultrasonic techniques have the advantage of determining the burning rates with wide range of pressure in only a single test. However, ultrasonic techniques have a drawback, which is that they are using high frequency transducers and it is easily affected by noise. Therefore, ultrasonic measurement method needs noise reduction algorithm to improve or grantee accuracy of burning rate measurements of solid propellants using ultrasound. Thus, in the present study, we propose a noise reduction method of measured ultrasonic signals by applying wavelet shrinkage.
