기존 보를 활용하여 유량측정에 이용하는 방법은 보의 통제 특성을 이용한 것이다. 유량과 수위를 병행 측정하여 얻은 자료를 활용해 수위-유량관계를 개발하는 것이다. 이 방법은 간단하면서도 정확도가 높은 방법이다. 수위-유량관계가 개발되면 별도의 측정을 수행할 필요 없이 수위계 측정값으로 유량이 계산되기 때문이다. 물론 주기적인 수위-유량관계 검증은 반드시 필요하다. 이런 수위-유량관계를 이용한 기존 보 활용은 매우 유용한 방법 중 하나이다. 하지만 이런 기존 보를 활용해 유량을 계산하는 방법은 몇 가지 단점을 포함한다. 첫째, 통제 특성을 이용하는 모든 측정 구조물은 측정한계 조건이 있다. 즉, 보 마루에 한계류가 발생하지 않는 수위 이상으로 높아지면 보의 통제 특성이 소멸되고 수위-유량관계나 유량공식은 의미가 없어진다. 둘째, 유량측정 구조물의 가장 큰 문제점 중 하나가 토사퇴적이다. 특히 기존 보의 경우 토사가 퇴적되면 보 상류의 저류용량이 줄어 보의 통제 기능을 상실하게 된다. 이런 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 보마루를 높인다거나 정기적인 준설을 하는 방법이 있다. 장기적인 변화에 대응하는 것이지만 이런 조치는 임시방편일 뿐이다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 연구하게 된 방법이 보마루에서 직접 유속측정을 하는 것이다. 그리하면 통제특성을 이용한 수위-유량관계가 필요 없게 된다. 이때 보마루에서 직접 유속측정을 하기 위해서 유속측정 센서를 이용한다. 유속측정센서는 도플러방식을 이용한 초음파 유속센서로써 uplooking 방식으로 보마루에 고정시켜 이용한다. 이런 센서는 관수로에서 유량을 측정하기 위해 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구를 위해 초음파 센서를 이용해 실험 수로에서 유속측정과 유량환산 결과를 비교해 보았고 실제 시험하천에서도 설치하여 적용해 보았다. 보마루라는 안정된 단면을 이용하여 유속을 직접 측정하는 방법은 앞서 언급했던 수위-유량관계를 이용한 기존 보 활용법상 단점도 극복할 수 있다. 즉 통제 특성과는 관계없이 측정할 수 있는 수심 범위에만 들어가게 되면 항상 측정이 가능하고 상류의 토사퇴적에도 영향을 전혀 받지 않는다. 설치한 후 센서가 파손되지 않고 관리만 잘 된다면 유량측정시 편리하고 정확하게 결과를 얻을 것으로 판단된다.

An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is a unique probe that does not require a couplant or gel and also can usually generate or detect an ultrasonic wave into specimens across a small gap. It, therefore can be applied in a noncontact mode with a high degree of reproducibility. Especially stiffness of composites depends on layup sequence of CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastics) laminates. It is very important to evaluate the layup errors in prepreg laminates. A nondestructive technique can therefore serve as a useful measurement for detecting layup errors. This shear wave for detecting the presence of the errors is very sensitive. A decomposition model has been used in the interpretation and prediction of test results. Test results have been com pared with model data. It is found that the high probability shows between tests and the model utilized in characterizing cured layups of the laminates. Also a C-scan method was used for detecting layup of the laminates because of extracting fiber orientation information from the ultrasonic reflection caused by structural imperfections in the laminates. Therefore, it was found that interface C-scan images show the fiber orientation information by using two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2-D FFT).

This presentation describes an experimental approach for the detection of cavitation in hydraulic machines by use of ultrasonic signal analysis. Instead of using the high frequency pulses (typically 1MHz) only for transit time measurement different other signal characteristics are extracted from the individual signals and its correlation function with reference signals in order to gain knowledge of the water conditions. As the pulse repetition rate is high (typically 100Hz), statistical parameters can be extracted of the signals. The idea is to find patterns in the parameters by a classifier that can distinguish between the different water states. This classification scheme has been applied to different cavitation sections: a sphere in a water flow in circular tube at the HSLU in Lucerne, a NACA profile in a cavitation tunnel and two Francis model test turbines all at LMH in Lausanne. From the signal raw data several statistical parameters in the time and frequency domain as well as from the correlation function with reference signals have been determined. As classifiers two methods were used: neural feed forward networks and decision trees. For both classification methods realizations with lowest complexity as possible are of special interest. It is shown that two to three signal characteristics, two from the signal itself and one from the correlation function are in many cases sufficient for the detection capability. The final goal is to combine these results with operating point, vibration, acoustic emission and dynamic pressure information such that a distinction between dangerous and not dangerous cavitation is possible.

We have developed SH (shear horizontal) surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors for detection of the immobilization and hybridization of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) on the gold coated delay line of transverse SAW devices. The experiments of DNA immobilization and hybridization were performed with 15-mer oligonucleotides (probe and complementary target DNA). The sensor consists of twin SAW delay line oscillators operating at 100 MHz fabricated on $36^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut $LiTaO_3$ piezoelectric single crystals. The relative change in the frequency of the two oscillators was monitored to detect the hybridization between target DNA and immobilized probe DNA in pH 7.4 PBS (phosphate buffered saline) solution. The measurement results showed a good response of the sensor to the mass loading effects of the DNA immobilization and hybridization with the sensitivity up to $1.55{\cal}ng/{\cal}ml/Hz$.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach of low computational complexity to improve the speech quality of the small acoustic equipment in noisy environment. The conventional gain control algorithm suppresses the noise of input signal, and then the part of wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) amplifies the undesired signal. The proposed algorithm controls the gain of hearing aids according to speech present probability by using the output of a voice activity detection (VAD). The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated under various noise conditions by using objective measurement and yields superior results compared with the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, equivalent properties of 2-2 mode piezocomposites were studied. Variation of the properties of 2-2 mode piezocomposites was analyzed by the finite element method, and the result was compared with experimental measurement data to confirm the validity of the analysis. The equivalent properties of a single phase material to represent the piezocomposite composed of PZT-5H and polymer were derived by the asymptotic averaging method. Accuracy of the derived equivalent properties was enhanced by minimizing the discrepancy between the impedance spectra of full 2-2 piezocomposite and equivalent single phase material resonators of various vibration modes by the least square method. The equivalent properties of 2-2 piezocomposites derived in this study can be utilized to the design of diverse acoustic sensors.

Conventional piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) senor has high sensitivity, but it is very brittle. Recently polymer films such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride­trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) copolymer have been used as a sensor. The advantages of polymer sensor are the flexibility and mechanical toughness. Simple process and possible several shapes are also additional advantages. Polymer sensor can be directly embedded in a structure. In this study, nondestructive damage sensitivity of single basalt fiber/epoxy composites was investigated with sensor type and thermal damage using AE and oscilloscope. And AE waveform for epoxy matrix with various damage types was compared to each other. The damage sensitivity of two polymer sensors was rather lower than that of PZT sensor. The damage sensitivity of PVDF sensor did not decrease until thermal damage temperature at $80^{\circ}C$ and they decreased significantly at $110^{\circ}C$ However, the damage sensitivity of P(VDF-TrFE) sensor at $110^{\circ}C$ was almost same in no damage sensor. For both top and side impacts, the difference in arrival time increased with increasing internal and surface damage density of epoxy matrix.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the launder type on settling performance and hydrodynamic behavior within the two certain full-scale sedimentation basins (each flow rate/one basin; $10,000m^3/d$); one is the transverse typed launder(existing basin) and the other is building the finger type launder in combination with the longitudinal baffle. Comparative experimental investigations have been carried out through residual turbidity and particle concentration measurements in each effluent from two basins with the transverse and the finger type launders, respectively. From the experimental results, we could observe that turbidity removal rate in the finger type launder basin (modified basin) is about 30% higher than that in the transverse type launder basin (existing basin). Also, from the measurement of total particle concentration in each effluent, the removal efficiency was improved about 27% within modified basin compared to the existing basin. In order to explain the comparative experimental results and investigate the hydridynamic behavior within each basin in more detail, we conducted computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and verified simulation results with acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV) technique. From the CFD simulation, it was investigated that extreme upward flow occurs underneath of the transverse launder. On the other hand, in the case of modified basin, the upward flow, which occurred in the beneath of launder, was much less than that in the existing basins.
