Film based radiography imaging technique has been applied to the non-destructive test in medical, aircraft, and power industries contributing to the development of the industries. However, the complex process for imaging and analysis has increasingly demanded the reformation of the radiography test. A digital radiography imaging technologies has been com out from the demand. This study was mainly focused on the assessment on the accuracy for the each image from digital radiography test and film radiography test was proven to crate a better image in sensitivity than film radiography test. In the IQI(Image quality indicator) transmission test, one or two more line can be seen in digital image than in film image. When applying to the boiler tube weld, film image is detectable to the 1.0mm depth flaw; and digital image to the 0.5mm depth flaw. As a result of this study, digital radiography technology is determined to enhance the image quality, compared to film radiography technologies

The pressure tube is a major component of the CANDU reactor, which supports nuclear fuel bundle and it's containment vessel. If a flaw is found during the periodic inspection from the pressure tubes, the integrity evaluation must be carried out, and the safety requirements must be satisfied for continued service. In order to complete the integrity evaluation, complicated and iterative calculation procedures are required. Besides, a lot of data and knowledge for the evaluation are required for the entire integrity evaluation process. For this reason, an integrity evaluation system, which provides efficient way of evaluation with the help of attached databases, was developed. The developed system was built on the basis of ASME Sec. XI and FFSG(Fitness For Service Guidelines for zirconium alloy pressure tubes in operating CANDU reactors) issued by the AECL, and covers the delayed hydride cracking(DHC). Various analysis methods are provided for the integrity evaluation of pressure tube. In order to verify the developed system, several case studies have been performed and the results were compared with those from AECL. A good agreement was observed between those two results.

탄성파 전파 과정의 정량적인 이해와 그 가시화는 결함 탐지는 물론이고, 재료의 물성 평가에 매우 중요하다. 대상 재료가 이방성을 지닐 경우에 탄성파 전파 과정은 복잡해져서 전파 과정의 해석 및 가시화 작업은 탄성파를 이용하는 결함 탐지 및 재질 평가에서는 필수적이다. 이방성 재료에서는 탄성파의 속도가 방향에 따라서 달라짐은 물론이고, 위상 속도와 군 속도의 방향이 어긋나서 파면이 진행하는 방향과 에너지가 진행하는 방향이 달라진다(beam skewing 효과). 특히 복합재료와 같이 이방성이 큰 재료에서는 이 효과가 매우 크게 나타나므로 탄성파를 이용한 시험 결과를 해석하고자 할 때에는 반드시 전파 과정을 이해해야 한다. 이방성 재료에 대해 해석적인 접근에는 한계가 있어서 유한차분법(finite difference method: FDM)과 같은 수치 해석 방법이 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 전파 과정을 해석할 수 있는 2차원 FDM 프로그램을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 이방성 재료에서의 탄성파 전파에 대한 전산 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교 분석한다.

본 연구는 비파괴 검사방법인 충격 공진법을 이용하여 결함을 갖는 콘크리트 시험체로부터의 반사신호를 정량적으로 해석하기 위한 연구이다. 충격 공진법은 비교적 저주파의 강한 에너지를 콘크리트내에 가하여 그 반사신호로부터 결함이나 경계층 등을 조사하기 때문에 굵은 골재 등을 포함하고 중량물인 콘크리트 구조물의 탐사에 유용하다. 그러나, 보나 기둥 등의 작은 경계를 갖는 콘크리트 시험체를 대상으로 할 경우에는 각 경계로부터 수평방향을 왕복하는 R-파의 영향이 크기 때문에 결함 또는 경계층으로부터의 반사신호인 수직방향으로부터의 P-파의 세기가 충분히 크지 못하면, 결함 등으로부터의 신호를 검출하기 어렵게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 시험체의 경계조건과 결함의 위치에 따라 발생 가능한 각 진동모드를 정량적으로 해석하는 방법을 연구하여 결함으로부터의 신호를 검출하는 방법에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과, 각모서리의 길이가 50cm 이내의 작은 경계조건과 50cm의 깊은 두계를 갖는 콘크리트 시험체내의 결함에 대해서도 콘크리트가 부배합 조건이고 결함의 깊이가 30cm이내일 경우 정량적 탐사가 가능하며, 각 모서리의 크기가 충분히 큰 대형 시험체 조건에서는 보다 용이하고 폭넓게 다양한 조건의 결함 등에 대한 정량적 참사가 가능하였다.

최근 빈번하게 발생하는 노후 필댐의 붕괴 사고로 인해 안전관리에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 지금까지 국내에서는 설계 당시 보수적인 설계기준에 근거한 설계 홍수량을 기준으로 필댐의 안정성을 단순하게 평가하고 있다. 하지만 해외 주요 국가에서는 사건수 분석 기법과 같은 체계적인 위험도 평가 기법을 도입하여 이미 오랜 기간 동안 필댐을 관리 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 노후화된 국내 필댐의 체계적인 위험도 분석을 위해 사건수 분석 기법을 이용한 미공병단 내부 침식 평가 기법을 적용하여 필댐의 내부 침식에 대한 지반공학적 시스템 반응 확률을 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 지반공학적 시스템 반응 확률이 결함의 존재 확률과 동수경사의 크기에 가장 큰 영향을 받으며 노후된 필댐의 위험도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있음을 보여준다.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to compare the fracture toughness ($K_{Ic}$) obtained from the single edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) and the fractographic analysis (FTA) of a glass-infiltrated and a zirconia ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS. For each material, ten bar-shaped specimens were prepared for the SEVNB method ($3mm{\times}4mm{\times}25mm$) and the FTA method ($2mm{\times}4mm{\times}25mm$). The starter V-notch was prepared as the fracture initiating flaw for the SEVNB method. A Vickers indentation load of 49 N was used to create a controlled surface flaw on each FTA specimen. All specimens were loaded to fracture using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5-1 mm/min. The independent-samples t-test was used for the statistical analysis of the $K_{Ic}$ values at ${\alpha}$=0.05. RESULTS. The mean $K_{Ic}$ of zirconia ceramic obtained from SEVNB method ($5.4{\pm}1.6\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$) was comparable to that obtained from FTA method ($6.3{\pm}1.6\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$). The mean $K_{Ic}$ of glass-infiltrated ceramic obtained from SEVNB method ($4.1{\pm}0.6\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$) was significantly lower than that obtained from FTA method ($5.1{\pm}0.7\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$). CONCLUSION. The mean $K_{Ic}$ of the glass-infiltrated and zirconia ceramics obtained from the SEVNB method were lower than those obtained from FTA method even they were not significantly different for the zirconia material. The differences in the $K_{Ic}$ values could be a result of the differences in the characteristics of fracture initiating flaws of these two methods.

Recently, advance signal analysis which is called "Time-Frequency Analysis" has been developed. Wavelet and Wigner Distribution are used to the method. Wavelet transform(WT) is applied to time-frequency analysis of waveforms obtained by an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique. The Gabor function is adopted as the analyzing wavelet. Wavelet analysis method is an attractive technique for evolution of material characterization evoluation. In this paper, the feasibility of suppression of ultrasonic background noise signal using WT has been presented. These results suggest that ultrasonic background noise ginal can be suppressed and enhanced even for SNR of 20.8 dB. This property of the WT is extremely useful for the detecting flaw echos embedded in background noise.und noise.

The hydraulic design optimization and performance analysis of mixed-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion has been carried out using mean streamline analysis and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. In the present study, the conceptual design optimization has been formulated with a non-linear objective function to minimize the fluid dynamic losses, and then the commercial CFD code was incorporated to allow for detailed flow dynamic phenomena in the pump system. Newly designed mixed-flow model pump has been tested in the laboratory. Predicted performance curves by the CFD code agree very well with experimental data for a newly designed mixed-flow pump over the normal operating conditions. The design and prediction method presented herein can be used efficiently as a unified hydraulic design process of mired-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion.
