This paper described the outputs of acoustic sensors due to the vibration of particles in the mock up GIS. We used the two type of acoustic sensors which had 150kHz resonant frequency and 60kHz resonant frequency respectively. In the experiment of the mock up GIS, we paid attention to the relationship between outputs of sensors and particles and we found that the ratios of outputs related with the lengths of particles. We developed the apparatus including the above diagnosis algorithm for GIS.

To compare the sensor performance of AE leak diagnosis system which can measure valve leak conditions, AE activities such as RMS voltage level, AE signal trend, leak rate degree according to AE database, FFT spectrum were measured on valve of the simulated test system for power plant. AE activities were recorded and analyzed from various operating conditions including different temperature, pressure difference, valve size and fluid using both piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor and Pb-Free acoustic emission sensor. The results of this study are utilized to select the type of sensors, the frequency band for filtering and thereby to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for diagnosis or monitoring of valves in operation. As the final result of application study above, portable type leak diagnosis system by AE was developed. The outcome of the study can be definitely applied as a means of the diagnosis or monitoring system for energy saving and prevention of accident for power plant valve.

The increased use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) in retrofitting reinforced concrete (RC) members has led to the need to develop non-destructive techniques that can monitor and characterize the unique damage mechanisms exhibited by such structural systems. This paper presented the damage characterization results of six CFRP retrofitted RC beam specimens tested in the laboratory and monitored using acoustic emission (AE). The focus of this study was to continuously monitor the change in AE parameters and analyze them both qualitatively and quantitatively, when brittle failure modes such as debonding occur in these beams. Although deterioration of structural integrity was traceable and can be quantified by monitoring the AE data, individual failure mode characteristics could not be identified due to the complexity of the system failure modes. In all, AE was an effective non-destructive monitoring tool that can trace the failure progression in RC beams retrofitted with CFRP. It would be advantageous to isolate signals originating from the CFRP and concrete, leading to a more clear understanding of the progression of the brittle damage mechanism involved in such a structural system. For practical applications, future studies should focus on spectral analysis of AE data from broadband sensors and automated pattern recognition tools to classify and better correlate AE parameters to failure modes observed.

본 연구에서는 화학 기계 연마(CMP) 공정 중 발생하는 다양한 영역대의 신호를 분석하기 위하여 음향 방출 센서(AE)를 이용하였다. 특히 음향 방출 센서는 공정 중 발생하는 기계적 소음을 전기적 신호로 변환하기 용이하며, 특히 고주파 영역대의 신호를 감지하기에 용이하다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 CMP 장비에 음향 방출 센서를 부착하여 CMP 공정 중 발생하는 신호를 동시에 획득하였다. 본 음향 방출 모니터링 시스템은 CMP 공정 조건 변화 및 패드, 슬러리, 웨이퍼와 같은 소모재의 변화에 따른 신호분석을 하기 위해 제작 되었다. 본 연구에서는 산화막 웨이퍼와 구리막 웨이퍼에 본 시스템을 적용하였다. 음향 방출 센서로 획득한 신호로 Raw 신호 분석, 주파수 분석, 진폭 분석을 통해서 CMP 공정중 발생하는 현상을 분석하였다. 최종적으로 다양한 대역폭의 신호를 음향 방출 센서로 획득하여 CMP 공정 모니터링이 가능함을 확인하고자 하였다.

This paper compared wired Acoustic Emission (AE) signals with wireless AE signals. According to the material and process condition, each process signal has distinguishable characteristic to show each removal phenomenon. Therefore, wired and wireless AE sensors having different bandwidth are complementary for CMP process monitoring. Especially, the AE sensor was used to investigate abrasive and molecular-scale phenomena during CMP process, which was compatible to acquire high level frequency. In experiment, wireless AE system was used to get signals in rotary system, using bluetooth. But, it is possible to acquire only RMS signals, which can not analyze abrasive and molecular-sale phenomena. Second, wired AE system was installed using mercury slip-ring, which is suitable not only for rotation equipment but also for acquiring original signals. The acquired signals were analyzed by FFT for understanding of abrasive and molecular revel phenomena in CMP process, finally, we verified that two types of AE sensor with different bandwidth were complementary for CMP process monitoring.

Polyvinylidene di-fluoride (PVDF) film sensor appeared to be practically useful for the structural health monitoring of composite materials and structures. PVDF film sensors were either attached to or embedded in the graphite/epoxy composite (CFRP) samples to detect the fatigue damage at the bondline of single-lap joints or the tensile failure of unidirectional laminates. PVDF sensors were sensitive enough to detect and determine the crack front in linear location since composites usually produce very energetic acoustic emission (AE). PVDF sensors are extremely cost-effective, as flexible as other plastic films, in low profile as thin as a few tens of microns, and have relatively wide-band response, all of which characteristics are readily utilized for the structural health monitoring of composite structures. Signals due to fatigue damage showed a characteristics of mode II (shear) type failure whereas those from fiber breakage at DEN notches showed that of mode I (tensile) type fracture.

본 연구는 암석 및 콘크리트 시편의 압축실험을 통해 균열 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 길이의 변화를 측정하는 변형률센서와 균열에 의해 발생한 탄성파를 측정하는 AE 센서를 시편에 부착하여 동시 측정함으로써 실험을 수행하였다. 측정된 시편의 변형률로부터 계산된 균열체적변형률은 암석과 콘크리트 시편에서 다른 형상을 보여주고 있다. 이것은 재료의 취성정도에 따른 것으로 추측된다. 하지만, 파괴 및 손상도와 관계되어 있는 균열체적변형률은 두 개의 시편결과가 유사함을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 또한 AE 센서를 통해 측정한 시편의 누적 균열 신호에너지가 변형률센서로 예측한 균열체적변형률과 매우 유사한 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이것은 AE 센서로도 구조물의 손상없이 실시간으로 손상도를 예측할 수 있음을 의미한다.

This paper investigates the soundness of porcelain insulators associated with the acoustic emission (AE) technique. The AE technique is a popular non-destructive method that measures and analyzes the burst energy that occurs mainly when a crack occurs in a high-frequency region. Typical AE methods require continuous monitoring with frequent sensor calibration. However, in this study, the AE technique excites a porcelain insulator using only an impact hammer, and it applies a high-pass filter to the signal frequency range measured only in the AE sensor by comparing the AE and the acceleration sensors. Next, the extracted time-domain signal is analyzed for the damage assessment. In normal signals, the duration is about 2ms, the area of the envelope is about 1,000, and the number of counts is about 20. In the damage signal, the duration exceeds 5ms, the area of the envelope is about 2,000, and the number of counts exceeds 40. In addition, various characteristics in the time and frequency domain for normal and damage cases are analyzed using the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Based on the results of the STFT analysis, the maximum energy of a normal specimen is less than 0.02, while in the case of the damage specimen, it exceeds 0.02. The extracted high-frequency components can present dynamic behavior of crack regions and eigenmodes of the isolated insulator parts, but the presence, size, and distribution of cracks can be predicted indirectly. In this regard, the characteristics of the surface crack region were derived in this study.

컬러 이미지 센서는 광전 변환을 일으키는 촬상 소자와 내부의 영상처리 과정을 거쳐서 컬러 이미지를 출력한다. 일반적으로 출력 영상은 원 피사체의 XYZ 3 자극치와 카메라 RGB 출력 신호 사이의 변환 관계인 카메라 전달 특성에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 컬러 이미지 센서의 내부 조정 항목인 노출-증폭-레벨(shutter-gain-level, SGL)의 특성함수와 자동 화이트 밸런스 상태를 이용한 카메라 전달 행렬을 이용하여 영상의 colorimetry(측색) 상태를 분석하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 방법으로부터 실제 영상물의 색도와 휘도 등을 예측할 수 있다. 연구에 사용된 컬러 이미지 센서의 AE(auto exposure) 상태와 실제 휘도의 관계를 정량화하여 SGL 함수를 유도하여 영상의 휘도를 예측 한다. 그리고 영상의 색도는 최소 제곱 다항식 모델링 (polynomial modeling)을 이용하여 기준 환경에서 얻은 카메라 전달 행렬과 AWB(auto white balance) 상태를 통해 예측한다. 실험을 통해서 컬러 이미지 센서를 이용한 제안된 영상의 색도와 휘도 예측 기법의 성능이 우수함을 볼 수 있고, 예측된 결과는 실제 영상물 계측과 시청 환경 측정을 이용한 디스플레이 화질 설정 시스템, 보안 등의 다양한 분야에서 응용이 가능하다.
