The purpose of this study is to develop the non-destructive material evaluation method of aluminum alloy base metal matrix composite(MMC) by ultrasonics. Five aluminum base MMC specimens were fabricated in which the fractional ratios of fiber were changed from 0% to 31%. Relations among acoustic properties, microstructural features and elastic constant were compared. The ultrasonic velocity method was useful for nondestructive elastic constant measurement of composite materials, since the method had as same accuracy as conventional strain measurement method. Furthermore, velocity, attenuation and backscattering behaviors for each specimen also related to fractional ratio of fiber and these relations could utilize ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation of fiber structure in MMC.

This paper presents soil moisture retrieval from measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients of a vegetated surface. Based on the analysis of the quite complicate first-order radiative transfer scattering model for vegetated surfaces, a simplified scattering model is proposed for an inversion algorithm. Extraction of the surface-scatter component from the total scattering of a vegetation canopy is addressed using the simplified model, and also using the three-component decomposition technique. The backscattering coefficients are measured with a polarimetric L-band scatterometer during two months. At the same time, the biomasses, leaf moisture contents, and soil moisture contents are also measured. Then the measurement data are used to estimate the model parameters for vv-, hh-, and vh-polarizations. The scattering model for tall-grass-covered surfaces is inverted to retrieve the soil moisture content from the measurements using a genetic algorithm. The retrieved soil moisture contents agree quite well with the in-situ measured soil moisture data.

In this paper, Rayleigh wave velocity has been measured by detecting the backscattered signal generating near the Rayleigh critical angle in the elastic medium. The rotating system has been made for the measurment of Rayleigh angle. It has been shown that the measured velocity for the stainless steel, brass aluminum, copper has been good agreement with the theoretical value. The method of non-destructive evaluation using backscattering signal has been presented and the c-scan acoustic image for internal of IC sample has been displayed.

기상상태에 관계없이 데이터를 획득할 수 있는 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)는 산림 분야에서 C, L, P 밴드의 자료가 많이 연구되어 왔다. 특히 밴드 간에 산림 지역에서 수관을 투과하는 특성이 뚜렷하게 나타나고 있다. X밴드의 경우는 C, L, P 밴드에 비하여 수관 표면에서 backscattering이 일어나게 되므로 수종을 분류하게 되는데 더 큰 장점을 가질 수 있으나 지금까지 산림 분야에서는 X 밴드의 SAR 자료가 활발히 연구되어 오고 있지 않다. 이 연구는 X밴드 SAR자료의 산림 분야의 활용성을 검토해보는 목적으로 1994년 10월 3일에 동시 촬영된 SIR-C/X-SAR 자료의 L, C와 X 밴드의 backscattering coefficients의 차이점을 통해서 수관 밀도나 다른 산림 특성과의 연관성을 살펴보고자 한다. 연구지역은 국립산림과학원에 의하여 관리되고 있는 광릉 지역으로서 그 지역의 산림에 대한 정밀한 자료를 분석에 활용하여 SAR 자료의 밴드별 파장과 산림피복의 특성에 따른 연관성에 대해 분석하였다.

The channel backscattering coefficient and injection velocity have been extracted experimentally in 65nm MOSFETs. Thanks to an experimental extraction methodology taking into account multi-subband population, we demonstrate that the short channel ballistic efficiency is slightly greater than long channel ballistic efficiency.

In this study, an efficient algorithm for the numerical search of the geodesic path of the creeping wave on a doubly curved surface is developed. The ellipsoid as a doubly curved surface is studied because of its three dimensional nature in that it can be used to simulate the body of an aircraft, or a missile body. Numerical result of the geodesic path on an ellipsoid is given.

The developed patterns by direct writing of electron beam are measured by AFM, FESEM and optical profiler of WYKO NT3300. From different measurement methods, the measured linewidths of the patterns are shown a little bit wider than designed pattern size due to electrons scattering effect during direct writing of electron beam. The optimized conditions of these experiments are suggested and explained for the forming of structures below 0.1 ㎛ dimension size. Because of electron scattering effects from the different under layers such as Si, Si$_3$N$_4$ and aluminum, the developed pattern size is also influenced by the accelerated energy of electrons, dose, resist and soft and hard bake conditions in PMMA. The distributions of electron beam and calculations of backscattering coefficient are demonstrated by Monte Carlo simulation. From the measured results, the developed linewidth of PMMA/Al /silicon is shown a little bit wider than that of PMMA/Si$_3$N$_4$/silicon structure due to the backscattering effects.

Satellite radar interferometry data shows a strong coherent signal on oyster sea farms where artificial structures installed on the bottom. We obtained 21 highly coherent interferograms from eleven JERS-1 SAR data sets despite of large orbital baseline (~2 km) or large temporal baseline (~l year). The phases observed in sea farms are probably induced by double bouncing on sea surface, and consequently reveal a tide height variation. To restore the absolute sea level changes we counted the number of wrapping by exploiting the intensity of backscattering. Backscattering intensity is closely correlated with the change in water surface height, while interferometry gives the detailed variation within the limit of 2$\pi$ (or 15.3 cm). Comparing the radar measurements with the tide gauge records yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96 and an ms error of 6.0 cm. The results demostrate that radar interferometry is promising to measure sea level.
