The SM45C metallic coupons have been tested under static tensile loading with acoustic emission (AE) as the load-deflection curve mainly. In this study, we used AE to detect the yielding of material and AE techniques was applied to rapidly estimate the mechanical characteristics of a material. First, coupons without an artificial defect were tested at different cross-head speed. For all cases in this analysis, yielding point of SM45C coupons did not appear definitely compared to mild steel, whereas coupons start to generate AE counts upon yielding. So all cases are normalized to know the possibility of accelerated life test of a material. And next, coupons with different from sizes of circular hole defects were tested at the same cross-head speed of 5 mm/min. Results were classified into 3 classes and analyzed by AE amplitude & signal strength as a function of time. Summarizing the specific conclusions, we need to additional research considering plate with width-ratio in order to estimate the fracture mechanism.

There is a large interest to find reliable and automatic methods for crack detection and quantification in the railway bogie frame. The non-destructive inspection of railway bogie frame has been performed by ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing in general inspection. The magnetic particle method has been utilized in the defect inspection of the bogie frame but the grinding process is required before inspection and the dust is developed resulting from the processing. The objective of this paper is to apply the inspection method of bogie frame using infra-red thermography. The infra-red thermography system using the excitation of eddy current was performed for the defect evaluation of weld specimen inserted artificial defects. The result shows that the infra-red thermography method can detect the surface and inner defects in weld specimen for bogie frame.

In the Hard Disk Drive(HDD) production, the detect pattern or defective HDD set is important information to diagnosis of defective HDD set. This paper proposes a pattern recognition neural network for the defect distribution of HDD. In this paper, 5 characteristics are determined for the classification to six standard defect pattern classes. A multi-layer perceptron is trained for the pattern classification the inputs of which are 5 characteristic values and the 6 outputs are the nodes of standard patterns. The experiment with proposed neural network shows satisfactory results.

This research simulates the ultrasonic wave propagation in multi-layered media using generalized formular of system response function. We made the artificial defect specimen of a rocket motor and compared with experimental wave forms. The simulation results are coincide with measured waves and we found that the pulse echo method is able to detect unbond defect at liner-propellant interface.

This study deals with the location of partial discharges(PDs) for power cables and GIS using 2 PD sensors and long coaxial signal cables. Throughout the experiments by use of simulated PD pulses and corona discharges in the power cable system, it is found out that the impedance matching between the coaxial signal cable and the measuring equipment should be done for good S/N ratio and the on-site measurement using more than 100m-long coaxial signal cable is possible. In addition, new PD location algorithm with the polarities of PD pulses and the arrival time difference between two pulses was proposed and was proved through the partial discharge experiments for the cable joint defect and artificial void defect.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) methods are widely employed for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of gas pipelines. In the application of MFL pipeline inspection technology, corrosion anomalies are detected and identified via their leakage filed due to changes in wall thickness. The gas industry is keenly interested in automating the interpretation process, because a large amount of data to be analyzed is generated for in-line inspection. This paper presents a novel approach to the tasks of data segmentation, feature extraction and depth estimation from gas pipelines. Also, we will show that the proposed method successfully identifying artificial defects.

Transposition of the great arteries is one of the commonest forms of severe congenital heart disease and produces severe cyanosis threatening survival from the day of birth. Anatomical anomalies which the aorta arises from the infundibulum of the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the outflow tract of the left ventricle make the deranged circulation. Survival is possible only if additional anomalies are present which allow mixing of the pulmonary and systemic circulations. Preoperative diagnosis as TGA was taken on the 15 day old female via the preoperative examination and the right cordioangiography. As palliative treatment for cyanosis, Blalock-Hanlon operation was performed in this patient. The results were good as 54 mmHg changed from 27 mmHg of $PO_2$ in aorta, but sudden cardiac arrest was developed in postoperative 12 hours. In order to confirm the cause of death and the cardiac anomalies, autopsy was performed on the date of death. The diagnosis of the autopsy showed; [1] Transposition of the Great Arteries. [2] Patent Ductus Arteriosus. [3] Patent Foramen Ovale. [4] Ventricular Septal Defect, 2 Muscular Type. [5] Double Ureter, Right. [6] Artificial Atrial Septal Defect. [7] Total Collapse of the left lung and Intraparenchymal hemorrhage of right lung.

A purpose of this paper is to recognize partial discharge pattern for cable insulation. The classification of PD sources was widely studied for two decades. this research sought to use the partial discharge detection method, and to diagnose the interface of cable, which is deemed vulnerable of cable systems. A research abalyzed faults that can occur in the interface of cable joint as well as accident mechanisms, manufactured test 22.9kV CNC cable, invented artificial faults and carried out partial discharge detection experiments. As a result, various PD pattern along defect measured and distinguished.

Electronic Speckle Pattern for quantitative evaluation of a impact defect inside of composite material plate are described. The impact on composite material makes inside delamination which is difficult to detect visual inspection and ultrasonic testing due to non-homeogenous structure. This paper proposes the quantitative evaluation technique of defects under real impact. Artificial defects are designed inside of composite plate for development of inspection technique and real defects under impact are inspected and compared with results of visual inspection.

This paper describes a signal processing technique for identifying signals from defects by using an electromagnetic-ultrasonic guided waves method based on a magnetostrictive sensor that generates a torsional mode (T(0, 1)). Because this technique is based on the digital filtering, the filtered signals provide information on the relationship between the cutoff frequency of band-pass filter and the characteristic of defect signals in heat exchange tubes. To verify the performance of the technique, artificial defects with various thickness reduction ration and shape were machined in titanium tubes, and digital filtering results are reported. The results show that digital filtering provides information to the identify shape of defects and the contact condition between the tube and support ring. Therefore, the proposed technique has good potential as a tool for evaluating the integrity of heat exchange tubes.
