Road surface damage detection is essential for a comfortable driving environment and the prevention of safety accidents. Road management institutes are using automated technology-based inspection equipment and systems. As one of these automation technologies, a sensor to detect road surface damage plays an important role. For this purpose, several studies on sensors using deep learning have been conducted in recent years. Road images and label images are needed to develop such deep learning algorithms. On the other hand, considerable time and labor will be needed to secure label images. In this paper, the adversarial learning method, one of the semi-supervised learning techniques, was proposed to solve this problem. For its implementation, a lightweight deep neural network model was trained using 5,327 road images and 1,327 label images. After experimenting with 400 road images, a model with a mean intersection over a union of 80.54% and an F1 score of 77.85% was developed. Through this, a technology that can improve recognition performance by adding only road images was developed to learning without label images and is expected to be used as a technology for road surface management in the future.

Todays in the field of lens makers, the technology machinery equipment and investment is shrunken by many factors. But much more decisive investment is wanted to strengthen competitiveness. Most of all, the technology of management and quality examination is important in the confidence of lens. So external and internal examination must be accomplished scientifically not by macrography but by the microscope and the computer. As the hardness examination of glass in the automobile, that of spectacle lens must not be harmful to the human body. All the raw material of spectacle lens is being imported for the lack of technology. To overcome these circumstances. We must establish the research institute that can develop the technology and must train a technical expert.

Metal matrix composite(MMCs) have been rapidly becoming one of the strongest candidates for structural materials for high temperature application. It is well recognized that MMCs always experience at least one large cool-down from processing temperature before my significant applied service loading. Due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the fiber and matrix, large thermal residual stresses generally develop in composites. It was reported from many previous studies that the effects of thermal residual stress on mechanical properties and fracture behavior were much more complex and dramatic than conventional engineering materials. Therefore it is crucial to evaluate the effect of heat treatment which changes the characteristic of distribution of thermal residual stress in MMCs. Single fiber composite(SFC) test based on the balance in a micromechanical model is a quite convenient method to evaluate interfacial shear strength(IFSS) and the failure mode of composite. In this study the effect of heat treatment on IFSS and the microscopic failure mechanism of MMC is investigated by combining acoustic emission(AE) technique with SFC test. The characteristic of AE signal, IFSS and microscopic failure mechanism due to heat treatment condition is discussed.

Pump car is an equipment that transports concrete products as needed to the place where they are poured. In order to pour a large amount of concrete in a short period of time, using a pump car is the most efficient in terms of economic efficiency and quality control. However, recently, many casualties have occurred due to boom damage during concrete pouring, so this study suggests that improvements are needed in the equipment manufacturing stage, inspection standards for old equipment, and equipment rental system. The reason is that, as a result of the finite element analysis of the pump car, the significant stress acting at the second stage of the boom and the maximum stress at the top of the boom were found to be 895.39 MPa, and M.S. Since it was evaluated the lowest at 0.04, the need for reinforcement was recognized. And it was confirmed that the 2nd stage boom was the most stressful and vulnerable part of the 1st to 5th stage booms. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the thickness and rigidity of members at the design and manufacturing stage, and to reinforce the steel plates of currently used equipment. In addition, it is urgent to establish a system that makes non-destructive testing mandatory for all general construction machinery and holds inspection agencies responsible for missing boom defects during non-destructive testing and regular inspections.

원자력발전소 금속파편감시계통(LPMS : Loose Parts Monitoring System)은 내각재계통 내부에 존재하는 금속파편물을 조기에 탐지하여 관련 구조물 파손을 방지하므로써 불필요한 검사 및 보수로 인한 작업자 방사선 피폭를 최소화하며 원전 안전성 및 경제성을 제고시킨다. 현재 국내 원전에서 가동중인 금속파편감시설비중 영광 1,2호기와 고리 3,4호기에서 운영중인 Westinghouse사의 금속파편감시설비(상품명: Digital Matal Impact Monitoring System)는 70년대에 개발되어 설치된 설비로 기능의 낙후와 장기간 운영에 따른 노후화로 인해 발생될 수 있는 문제점을 방지하고자 하드웨어 및 금속충격파 검출 및 판별 알고리즘을 개발하여 영광 1,2호기에서 기존 설비와 병렬운전중이다.

The Pressurized water reactor owners group (PWROG) developed and applied a risk-informed in-service inspection (RI-ISI) program, as an alternative to the existing ASME Section XI' sampling inspection method. The RI-ISI programs enhance overall safety by focusing inspections of piping at high safety significance (HSS) locations where failure mechanisms are likely to be present. Additionally, the RI-ISI program can reduce nondestructive evaluation (NDE) exams, man-rem exposure for inspectors, and inspection time, among other benefits. The RI-ISI method of in-service piping inspection was applied to 3 units (KSNPs: Korea standard nuclear power plants) and is being deployed to the other units. In this paper, the results of RI-ISI for a Framatome type (France CPI) nuclear power plant are presented. It was concluded that application of RI-ISI to the plant could enhance and maintain plant safety, as well as provide the benefits of greater reliability.

The necessity of ultrasonic inspection to detect the cracks in turbine blade is being increased as the forced outage of nuclear power plants have been occurred due to blade failure in turbine components. However, the complex blade root geometry causes the ultrasonic inspection technique not to be established yet and much effort is required to set up a more reliable inspection. In this paper, the ultrasonic inspection technique for flaw detectability, skew angle effect, identification of flaw and geometric signal have been investigated with a test block and discussed the interpretation of ultrasonic signal through the acquisition and analysis of RF waveform. The experimental results show that the proper examination procedure can be established. It is required that the skew angle is essential to decrease the effect of signals from the complex blade geometry. The present results of this study can be applied to the site inspection without blade disassembly.

Acoustic emission(AE) signals detected during metal cutting were applied as the experimental test to sensing tool wear and chipping on the NC vertical milling machine. The in-process detection of cutting tool wear including chipping, cracking and fracture has been investigated by means of AE in spite of vibration or noise through intermittent metal cutting, then the following results were obtained 1) When the tool wear is increased suddenly, or the amplitude of AE signals changes largely, it indicates chipping or breaking of the insert tip. 2) It was confirmed that AE signal is highly sensitive to the cutting speed and tool wear. 3) At the early period of cutting, the wear were large and RMS value increased highly by the influence of minute chipping and cracking, etc. Therefore, the above situations should be considered for the time when the tool would be changed.

석유, 화학 설비를 구성하고 있는 기기의 파손으로 인하여 파생되는 인명, 재산 그리고 환경에 대한 피해가 엄청나다는 것은 산업사회가 고도화 될 수록 그 정도를 더해가고 있다. 최근 우리 나라에서도 석유, 화학 설비의 폭발사고 또는 부실시공에 대한 고발 등의 사회적 문제가 발생 하는 것도 간과할 수 없는 현실이다. 이러한 사례는 우리나라의 관련법규와 사회제도를 반영한 통일된 기술기준의 부재에서 비롯되었다고 필자는 주장하고 싶다. 이와 병행하여 통일된 기술 기준에 입각하여 제반 설비가 건설 및 운전되는지를 관리하고, 감독 및 검사하는 기능과 기법이 정리되어 있지 못한 것도 한 원인으로 들 수 있다. 따라서 석유, 화학설비를 보유하고 있는 관 련기관이 기술기준을 개발하고 그에 준하여 이행 여부를 관리, 감독하는 검사 기능을 강화하여야 보일러 및 압력용기의 폭발사고 및 부실시공을 미연에 방지할 수 있는 근본적인 치유책이 될 수 있을 것이다.
