A finite element method was used to simulate the wave propagation of laser-generated ultrasound and its interaction with surface breaking cracks in an elastic material. Thermoelastic laser line source on the material surface was approximated as a shear dipole and loaded as nodal forces in the plane-strain finite element (FE) model. The shear dipole- FE model was tested for the generation of ultrasound on the surface with no defect. The model was found to generate the Rayleigh surface wave. The model was then extended to examine the interaction of laser generated ultrasound with surface-breaking cracks of various depths. The crack-scattered waves were monitored to size the crack depth. The proposed model clearly reproduced the experimentally observed features that can be used to characterize the presence of surface-breaking cracks.

본 연구의 목적은 비접촉식 레이저 여기 표면파의 비선형성 계측을 통하여 소성 변형된 알루미늄 합금의 소성변형을 평가하고자 하는 데 있다. 슬릿마스크와 고출력 펄스 레이저를 통한 선배열 레이저빔을 이용하여 협대역의 표면파를 발생 시켰으며, 표면파의 음향 비선형 특성을 이용하기 위하여 슬릿 마스크의 열림 폭과 간격을 변화시킴으로써 레이저 여기 표면파의 주파수 특성을 제어하였다. 스트로크 제어를 통한 인장시험을 통하여 단계별 인장 소성변형 정도를 달리하는 시험편을 제작하였다. 실험결과 인장 소성 변형율이 커짐에 따라 음향 비선형 파라미터는 증가하였으며, 경도 및 EBSD 측정결과 손상의 정도와 매우 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서의 레이저 여기 표면파의 비선형 평가기법은 알루미늄 합금의 소성변형 평가에 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

It is recently well recognized that the technique for the one-sided stress wave velocity measurement in structural materials provides measurement in structural materials provides valuable information on the state of the material such as quality, uniformity, location of cracked or damaged area. This technique is especially effective to measure velocities of longitudinal and Rayleigh waves when access to only one surface of structure is possible. However, one of problems for one-sided stress wave velocity measurement is to get consistent and reliable source for the generation of elastic wave. In this study, the laser based surface elastic wave was used to provide consistent and reliable source for the generation of elastic wave into the materials. The velocities of creeping wave and Rayleigh wave in materials were measured by the one-sided technique using laser based surface elastic wave. These wave velocities were compared with bulk wave velocities such as longitudinal wave and shear wave velocities to certify accuracy of measurement. In addition, the mechanical properties such as poisson's ratio and specific modulus(E/p) were calculated with the velocities of surface elastic waves.

본 연구에서는 레이저를 이용한 협대역 표면파의 음향 비선형 계측을 통하여 굽힘피로손상된 알루미늄 합금의 피로열화를 평가하였다. 선배열 레이저를 이용할 경우 발생하는 본질적인 고조파 성분을 이론적으로 분석하고 굽힘피로손상된 알루미늄 6061 합금의 표면으로부터 음향 비선형 파라미터를 성공적으로 측정하였다. 피로사이클의 증가에 따라서 음향 비선형 파라미터는 증가하였고 손상 정도와 매우 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 다룬 레이저 여기된 표면파의 비선형평가기법은 피로손상된 표면열화 평가에 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 표면파의 음향비선형 특성 측정을 위해 선 배열 레이저 빔을 이용하여 협대역의 표면파를 발생시키고 레이저 TWM(Two-Wave Mixing) 방식으로 수신하는 완전 비접촉 측정 방법이 도입되었다. 이 기술은 알루미늄 합금의 소성변형과 음향비선형 특성과의 상관성을 조사하는데 적용되었다. 그 결과, 재료의 소성변형에 따라 음향 비선형성이 비례적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 접촉식 PZT 탐촉자 수신 방법으로 측정한 결과와 동일한 경향이다.

Acoustic nonlinearity of surface waves is an effective method to evaluate the micro damage on the surface of materials. In this method, the $A_1$ (magnitude of the fundamental wave) and $A_2$ (magnitude of the second-order harmonic wave) are measured for evaluation of acoustic nonlinearity. However, if there is another source of second-order harmonic wave other than the material itself, the linear relationship between $A_1{^2}$ and $A_2$ will not be guaranteed. Therefore, the second-order harmonic generation by another source should be fully suppressed. In this paper, we investigated the initial second-order harmonic generation in narrowband surface waves by multi-line laser beams. The spatial profile of laser beam was considered in the cases of Gaussian and square-like. The temporal profile was assumed to be Gaussian. In case of Gaussian spatial profile, the generation of the initial second-order harmonic wave was inevitable. However, when the spatial profile was square-like, the generation of the initial second-order harmonic wave was able to be fully suppressed at specific duty ratio. These results mean that the multi-line laser beams of square-like profile with a proper duty ratio are useful to evaluate the acoustic nonlinearity of the generated surface waves.

The dynamics of laser-induced plasma/shock wave and the interaction with a surface in the laser shock cleaning process are analyzed by optical diagnostics. Shock wave is generated by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in air or with N$_2$, Ar, and He injection into the focal spot. The shock speed is measured by monitoring the photoacoustic probe-beam deflection signal under different conditions. In addition, nanosecond time-resolved images of shock wave propagation and interaction with the substrate are obtained by the laser-flash shadowgraphy. The results reveal the effect of various operation parameters of the laser shock cleaning process on shock wave intensity, energy-conversion efficiency, and flow characteristics. Discussions are made on the cleaning mechanisms based on the experimental observations.

A 2D finite-element numerical simulation has been developed to investigate the generation of ultrasonic waves in a homogeneous isotropic elastic slab under a line-focused laser irradiation. Discussing the physical processes involved in the thermoelastic phenomena, we describe a model for the pulsed laser generation of ultrasound in a metal slab. Addressing an analytic method, on the basis of an integral transform technique, for obtaining the solutions of the elastodynamic equation, we outline a finite element method for a numerical simulation of an ultrasonic wave propagation. We present the numerical results for the displacements and the stresses generated by a line-focused laser pulse on the surface of a stainless steel slab.

The scanning laser source (SLS) technique is a promising new laser ultrasonic tool for the detection of small surface-breaking defects. The SLS approach is based on monitoring the changes in laser-generated ultrasound as a laser source is scanned over a defect. Changes in amplitude and frequency content are observed for ultrasound generated by the laser over uniform and defective areas. The SLS technique uses a point or a short line-focused high-power laser beam which is swept across the test specimen surface and passes over surface-breaking or subsurface flaws. The ultrasonic signal that arrives at the Rayleigh wave speed is monitored as the SLS is scanned. It is found that the amplitude and frequency of the measured ultrasonic signal have specific variations when the laser source approaches, passes over and moves behind the defect. In this paper, the setup for SLS experiments with full B-scan capability is described and SLS signatures from small surface-breaking and subsurface flaws are discussed using a point or short line focused laser source.

We analyzed the damage effect on Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics(GFRP) under air flow by irradiation of continuous wave near-IR laser. Damage process and temporal temperature distribution were demonstrated and material characteristics were observed with laser intensity, surface flow speed and angle. Surface temperature on GFRP rapidly increased with laser intensity, and the damaged pattern was different with flow characteristics. In case of no flow, penetration on GFRP by burning and flame generation after laser irradiation was appeared at once. GFRP was penetrated by the heat generated from resin ignition. In case of laser irradiation under flow, a flame generated after burning extinguished at once by flow and penetration pattern on GFRP were differently shown with flow angle. From the results, we presented the damage process and its mechanism.
