One of the widely used NDT(Non-destructive techniques) is the ultrasonic pulse velocity (USPV) method, which determines the travel time of the ultrasonic pulse through the tested materials and most studies were focused on the results expressed in time domain. However, the signal of ultrasonic pulse in time domain can be transformed into frequency domain, through Fast fourier transform(FFT) to give more useful informations. This paper shows a comparison of changes in the pulse velocity and frequency domain signals of concrete for various load histories using lightweight fine aggregates. The strength prediction equation for normal concrete using USPV cannot be used to estimate lightweight fine aggregate concrete strength. The signals in frequency domain of ultrasonic pulse of lightweight fine aggregate concrete does not show any significant difference comparing with those of normal concrete. The increases in stress levels of concrete change the pulse velocities and maximum frequencies, however the apparent relationship between themselves can not be found in this experiment.

Disbond size of adhesively bonded single lap and double lap joints CFRP composite specimens has been evaluated using acousto-ultrasonic(AU) technique. Frequency spectra for all specimens were obtained by measuring peak amplitude of the stress wave propagated through the bond-lines. By analyzing these frequency spectra, peak amplitude was found to be proportional to fractional bonding area and to be maxima at the fundamental and the third order higher harmonic frequencies of specimen thickness mode. The disbond size can be evaluated quantitatively and this technique can be applied to real structures if the reference specimens are prepared in advancve.

An accelerated ultrasonic fatigue test(UFT) has been used for analyzing very high cycle fatigue( VHCF, $N_f$ > $10^7$). This study reviews how the test specimen is to be determined. We focus on UFT using a resonance of 20 kHz. The specimen geometry is determined by selecting test materials by using a dynamic Young's modulus and wavelength of 20 kHz. The dynamic Young's modulus is calculated at the resonant frequency. Through a resonant vibration test at 20 kHz, the length of the specimen is calculated. By determining the shape of the specimen, the stress during the UFT is calculated. The UFT results should be comparable at the test frequency and the specimen geometry obtained by the conventional fatigue tests.

Current initial rock stress state is one of the key factors required to evaluate the stability and failure around an excavated opening and its importance increases as the construction depth become deeper and the scale of the rock structure become larger. In this paper, the study was performed to evaluate the characteristics of the regional stress state at Chuncheon-Yanggu mountainous region, the East-North part of Kyeonggi Massif. Forty nine field stress measurements in 9 boreholes were conducted at the depth from 20 m to 290 m by hydraulic fracturing method. The fracturing tracing works were carried out by acoustic televiewer scanning. The study results revealed that the different intial rock stress states presented at different formation rock type and the excessive horizontal stress state with stress ratio(K) close to 3.0 was measured at the depth of 200 m and deeper in the intrusive unite body of the study area. The results from the investigation of excessive horizontal stress and its effect on failure mode showed that there exist several points where the localized excessive horizontal stresses are big enough to potentially induce brittle failures around the future openings greater than 100 m in depth within the granite body of the study area.

Since the 1980s, there have been many research activities devoted to quantitatively characterizing and imaging human tissues based on sound speed, attenuation coefficient, density, nonlinear B/A parameter, etc., but those efforts have not yet reached the stage of commercialization. However, a new imaging technology termed elastography, which was proposed in the early 1980s, has recently been implemented in commercial clinical ultrasound scanners, and is now being used to diagnose prostates, breasts, thyroids, livers, blood vessels, etc., more quantitatively as a complementary adjunct modality to the conventional B-mode imaging. The purpose of this article is to introduce and review various elastographic algorithms for use in quasistatic or static compression type elasticity imaging modes. Most of the algorithms are based on the crosscorrelation or autocorrelation function methods, and the fundamental difference is that the time shift is estimated by changing the lag variable in the former, while it is directly obtained from the phase shift at a fixed lag in the latter.

The 33-mode dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 piezoelectric single crystals were measured under large electric field and compressive stress. The phase transition from the low temperature rhombohedral to the high temperature tetragonal structure was observed in the range of 110~140℃, and the Curie temperature changing to the cubic structure was about 165℃. The polarization change according to the compressive stress and electric field was measured. Relative dielectric constant was calculated from the slope of the polarization curve applied to the electric field, and the calculated relative dielectric constant increased as the applied stress increased, and the relative dielectric constant decreased as the applied electric field increased. The strain according to the compressive stress and electric field change was measured, the piezoelectric constant was calculated from the slope of the curve, and the phase transition according to the application of pressure was confirmed. In the case of practical application as an underwater or medical ultrasonic actuator, it is necessary to properly design the magnitude of the compressive stress applied to the device and the DC bias in order to maintain linear driving.

Three relatively homogeneous granitic rocks were studied to investigate the relationship between their microstructural properties and fracture toughness. Fracture toughness and ultrasonic velocity were varied with the orientation of mineral's long axis and microcrack, obtained from optical microscope. The lowest fracture toughness values are obtained, when the fracture propagates parallel to weakness planes which have the orientation of mineral's long axis and microcrack, in other words, when weakness planes develop perpendicular to the direction of tensile stress agrees with that of rift plane. The fracture toughness values, measured with the short rod method, varied from 1.63 to 2.62 MPa $m^{0.5}$, and their values are related with the average grain size and average microcrack length.

This study evaluated the fatigue degradation in a SUS316L specimen using the nonlinear ultrasonic method. The nonlinearity of the ultrasonic wave was estimated by a relative nonlinear parameter defined as the ratio of the amplitudes for the fundamental wave to the second harmonic wave. In the experiment, a measurement system with contact transducers was constructed; reliable measurements were assured by keeping measurement conditions consistent and reducing extra harmonics generated in the measurement system. Two types of SUS316L specimen were used in experiments; a rotating bar fatigue specimen and a tensile fatigue specimen. The fatigue condition used was high cycle fatigue. The former specimen had a cylindrical shape and was used to observe the change in the nonlinear parameter after fatigue accumulation in a specimen. The latter was a plate-shaped specimen and was used to confirm the change in the nonlinear parameter at the position where the fatigue stress was concentrated. The measured nonlinear parameter showed a strong correlation to the damage level in both fatigue tests.

This study was carried out to provide basic data for using domestic structural softwood lumber efficiently and ensuring structural safety of timber structures. The ratios (k-factor) between static and dynamic MOE measured by ultrasonic device for $2{\times}6$ domestic softwood structural lumber are 1.0602 for Korean red pine, 1.0013 for Korean white pine and 1.2320 for Japanese larch. In machine grade using nondestructive method, 76% of Korean red pine was classified into higher than E9 grade, 85% of Korean white pine was sorted into higher than E7 grade and 68% of Japanese larch was classified into higher than E11 grade. Correlation between MOE and MOR by static bending with k-factor from nondestructive method provide a possibility to predict bending strength and allowable stress of domestic softwood structural lumber.
