In this study, we have constructed the acoustic microscope using quadrature technique and analyzed the relative variation of image intensity and the quality of image by reconstructing the amplitude and phase image for surface defects with tiny hight variation. In this experiment, we have constructed the scanning acoustic microscope using the focused transducer with 3㎒ center frequency and the quadrature detector. And we have fabricated aluminum samples with round defects whose depth is different and reconstructed the amplitude and phase images for the samples. One sample has round defects with 2㎜ diameter and 100㎛ depth and the other has round defects with 4㎜ diameter and 5㎜ depth. In the result of line scanning for the sample with 100㎛ round defects, it has been shown that the variation rate of amplitude image intensity is 7% and the variation rate of phase image intensity is 89%. The phase image has better contrast than amplitude image for the sample. In contrast to this, the amplitude image has better contrast than phase image for the sample with 5㎜ depth's defects. Accordingly there is big difference between amplitude image and phase image for depth variation of defects whose boundary is 1 wavelength. Consequently the acoustic microscope using quadrature detector can be evaluated efficiently more than using envelope detector, for detecting defects which have height variation less than 1 wavelength. And also the phase image and the amplitude image can be used for detecting defects of tiny height variation with complimentary relation.

사파이어 단결정은 광학 투명도, 물리적 강도, 충격 저항, 마모 부식, 높은 압력 및 온도 내구성, 생체 호환성 등 다양한 특성을 가지고 있어 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있으며, 특히 최근에는 백색 또는 청색 LED 소자 분야에서 기판으로 주로 활용되고 있다. 이러한 사파이어 단결정 기판은 공정에서 결정 성장 조건 및 기계적 연마 등의 다양한 요인으로 결정학적 결함이 발생한다. 이러한 결정학적 결함을 제어함으로서 좋은 품질의 단결정 기판을 생산할 수 있다. 이에 따라 각종 결함 제어를 위해서 X-선, EPD, 레이저 편광법 등 다양한 방법으로 결함들을 측정하고 있다. 그 중에서도 X-선 토포그래피는 시료를 비파괴적인 방법으로 단결정의 결함 밀도와 유형 등을 파악하는데 매우 유용한 측정법이며, Lang 토포그래피로 대표되는 X-선 회절 투과법은 기판과 같은 대구경의 시료를 우수한 분해능으로 내부 결함까지 관찰할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대구경 사파이어 단결정 기판에 내재하는 결정 결함을 확인 및 분석하기 위해 X-선 Lang 토포그래피(X-ray Lang Topography) 장비를 구축하였다. 그리고 4, 6인치 c-면 사파이어 단결정 기판의 (110), (102) 회절면의 X-선 토포그래피 측정을 통해 전위(dislocation), 스크래치(scratch), 표면데미지(surface damage), 트윈(twin), 잔류 응력(strain) 등의 결함의 유형을 식별 및 분석하였으며, 각각의 결함들의 토포그래피 이미지 형성 메커니즘에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 통해 X-선 Lang 토포그래피(X-ray Lang Topography) 장비가 대구경 사파이어 단결정 기판의 결정 결함 평가에 폭넓은 활용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

The Impact-Echo(IE) method has been used to evaluate the integrity of concrete structures. In this method, the P-wave velocity of concrete is a crucial parameter in determining the thickness of concrete lining, the location of cracks or other defects. In many field applications of the IE method, the P-wave velocity is obtained by testing the core or the portion of a structure where the exact thickness is known. Occasionally, however, the core can not be obtained in specific structures and the P-wave velocity determined from core testing may not be a representative value of the structure. This study introduces an IE-SASW method that may determine the P-wave velocity on a surface of each testing area using the Spectral Analysis of Surface Wave (SASW) method. Results obtained from numerical studies are presented in this paper (Part I), and results obtained from experimental studies are presented in the companion paper (Part II). In this paper, numerical analyses using ABAQUS were carried out to investigate the effectiveness and the limitations of the IE-SASW method.

The defects of rail head induced by fatigue and deterioration are mainly classified by two types ; one occurred on the surface of rail head the another occurred on the inner rail head. This study performed the surface irregularity measurement of rail head according to the passing tonnage in the urban railway. Also, we carried out microscopic structure test, chemical component test and micro-hardness test for the specimen which is the used rail on metro line by accumulated passing tonnage. As a result of this study, for new rail, it should be performed initial grinding in order to remove 0.3mm of de-carbonized layer. The preventive-cyclic grinding for preventing RCF defects is proposed two options : grinding by the whole line and grinding by specified sections.

EMAT has been applied in various fields for flaw detection and material characterization because it has noncontact property in wave generation and a good mode selectivity. Unfortunately, however, EMAT shows low signal to noise ratio relative to commercial contact transducer because of low energy conversion efficiency. If the phase matching through the control of time delay between each coil consisting of the array EMAT is accomplished, it is expected that it will be a solution for the improvement of low signal to noise ratio. In this experiment, the phased array EMATs which consists of 3 or 4 meander coils and one big magnet were fabricated for surface and vertical shear wave generation. Effect of phased delay control on signal directivity and amplitude enhancement was verified. A slit with the depth of 0.5 mm and a side-drill hole of 0.5 mm diameter were clearly detected by fabricated phased array EMATs, respectively.

In this paper, the basic principle, the application and the limitation of Infrared thermography technique to detect defects in different kinds of concrete structures are reviewed. Considered are voids beneath the concrete surface with experiments, delamination between concrete surface and fiber reinforced polymer sheet, the deterioration of steel bars in reinforced concrete, surface defects in historical buildings, pavements, bridges, and railway track graves. As a result, we conclude that infrared thermography methods are useful for fast detecting defects; however, they are influenced by environmental factors, specially temperature. Therefore it is recommended to use the infrared thermography technique with other NDT equipments to expect better result.

LED와 LD의 수명과 효율은 결정에 존재하는 결함의 밀도에 반비례하며, 이러한 결함의 밀도는 적당한 기판을 사용하거나, 기판의 표면을 적절하게 제어함으로써 줄일 수 있다. GaN성장시 원자 단위의 매끄러운 표면은 완충충 성장이나 질화처리를 함으로써 얻어질 수 있다. 이렇게 얻어진 원자 단위의 매끄러운 표면에 의해 기판과 박막상이의 계면 자유에너지가 감소하기 때문에 2D성장이 촉진된다. 사파이어(AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$(0001))기판을 사용한 GaN 왕충충성장과 진화처리에 대한 최적조건은 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)측정 결과에 의해 결정되었다. AFM에 의해 얻어진 표면 평활도의 개념은 사파이어 기판을 사용한 GaN박막성장의 최적조건을 결정하는 데 있어서 높은 신뢰도를 가질 수 있다.

FMC(FULL MOLD CASTING)법(法)이란 발포 polystyrene모형을 사용하여 조형후, 주형으로부터 모형을 발형치 않은채, 용탕을 주입하여 주물을 제조하는 방법을 말한다. 합성수지 발포체를 주조용(用) 모형의 재료로써 사용하는 방법은 1956년 미국의 슈로이어(H. F. Shroyer)에 의하여 발명되었으나 이것은 실제 주조에 응용하기에는 여러 곤란한 문제가 있어, 단순히 착상에 그치고 공업적으로 적용할 수 있는 기술을 확립치는 못하였다. 그후 서독 아헨대학교수로서 당시 발포폴리스티렌을 포함하는 각종단열재 제조회사 G+H 사(社)의 A. Wittmoser에 의하여 1962년에 처음으로 공업적으로 이용되어, 현재 서독, 미국, 일본등 유럽전역에서 응용되고 있다. 당사(當社)는 1977년6월 5일 첫 가동된 이후, 동(同)그룹 사(社)인 현대자동차로부터 자동차금형 (Press Die)주조를 FMC법(法)으로 생산하여 달라는 요구를 받고, 그해 12月부터 개발시험에 착수하여 이듬해 6월(月)부터 본(本) FM주조를 적용하여왔다. 그러나 1) 폴리스티렌 모형의 주입시(時) 부(不)기화 잔유물에 의한 주물표면결함 2) 도형제 박리 현상에 의한 표면결함 3) 주입시(時) 다량의 매연발생 및 4) 조형시(時) 모형의 변형에 의한 칫수결함 등의 문제가 대두되어 품질면에서는 1982년6월(月)에 와서야 어느정도 정상궤도에 도달하여 본격적인 FM 생산을 해오고 있는 중이다. 여기서 그동안 당사가 경험한 대형주물 (자동차금형:$1{\sim}10$톤/개)에 있어서의 FM 주조법의 적용사례를 본지(本誌)를 통하여 간단히 소개하고자 한다.

Chuncheon National Museum currently own a bronze Buddhist gong that was discovered in 1987 at the Sudasa Temple site of in Suhangri, Pyeongchang. Significantly, showing many casting defects and areas where was repaired, the Gong offered crucial information about the casting technique. To better understand the production technique, scientific analysis was conducted on various aspects of the gong, including its materials, moulds, chaplets, and defects. Composition analysis revealed that the gong was composed primarily of copper ^71.6wt%, tin ^18.2wt%, and lead ^7.2wt%, along with about 1wt% of both arsenic and antimony. The lead content of the chaplets was higher than that of the gong, and the lead content was the highest in the solder, which was used to fill holes after casting. Surface analysis, based on the parting line, indicated that the gong was most likely produced with the sand casting process. Radiography and close examination of the surface disclosed various casting defects ^{e.g., Cold Shut, Surface Folds, Misrun, and Blowholes Adjacent to Chaplets} and their possible causes. The casting defects of a few holes were filled with soft solder.
