In this paper, dynamic characteristics of the magnetic flux leakage(MFL) type non-destructive testing(NDT) are analyzed. Effects of a sensor speed in MFL PIG system and remanent magnetization of the gas pipeline are analyzed by using 3 dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis including eddy current and hysteresis characteristics. Results show that the speed of the sensor reduces the magnitude of the sensing signals where as the hysteresis of the pipeline distorts the sensing signals.

자기누설탐상시스템은 지하에 매설된 가스관에서 발생되는 부식이나 크랙 또는 기계적 변형을 탐지하기 위한 방법으로 비파괴검사 방법의 하나이다. 가스관은 Nd자석에 의해 착자가 되고, 가스관에 부식이 발생했을 경우 가스관의 단면적이 작아지게 되어 자기누설이 발생하며, 발생된 자기누설을 홀센서로 검출하여 부식의 유무, 크기, 모양 등을 판별하게 된다. 지하매설 배관은 배관의 직경은 같으나 배관의 두께는 다양하게 존재한다. 특히 30inch의 배관에는 배관의 두께가 11.1, 14.3, 17.5 mm 등이 있다. 자기누설탐상시스템은 배관의 단면적 변화를 감지하는 것이기 때문에 배관의 두께에 따라 그 특성이 변화하게 된다. 또한 두께에 따른 결함의 종류에 따라서 검출신호도 변화하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배관의 두께 변화에 따른 검출신호를 분석하였으며, 두께 변화의 영향을 적용하여 검출신호를 보정하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다.

In this paper, the general electromagnetic design process of a 10-MW-class high-temperature superconducting (HTS) synchronous generator that is intended to be utilized for large scale offshore wind generator is discussed. This paper presents three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic design proposal and electrical characteristic analysis results of a 10-MW-class HTS synchronous generator for wind power. For more detailed design by reducing the errors of a two-dimensional (2D) design owing to leakage flux in air-gap, we redesign and analyze the 2D conceptual electromagnetic design model of the HTS synchronous generator using 3D finite element analysis (FEA) software. Then electrical characteristics which include the no-load and full-load voltage of generator, harmonic contents of these two load conditions, voltage regulation and losses of generator are analyzed by commercial 3D FEA software.

This paper deals with the coupled electromagnetic-mechanical field analysis for short-circuit electromagnetic force of the dry-type transformer. The short-circuit currents are calculated using external circuit in accordance with short-circuit test equipment. According to short-circuit current, the generated magnetic leakage flux density in dry-type transformer model is calculated by finite element method. The radially-directed electromagnetic forces in windings are calculated using electromagnetic field analysis and then axially-directed electromagnetic forces in windings are calculated using electromagnetic-mechanical field analysis. The calculated axially-directed electromagnetic forces in high voltage winding are compared to those of measured ones and showed good agreement with experimental results.

자기 누설 탐상(Magnetic Flux Leakage : MFL) 시스템은 비파괴 검사의 한 방법으로 검사 대상 물체를 적절히 포화시켜 부식이나 결함 부위에서의 누설 자속을 측정하여 결함의 유 무와 크기를 판단하는 방법이다. 대부분 가스관과 가스관을 연결하는 방법으로 용접을 가장 많이 사용하고 있으며 용접부위에서 부식이 가장 많이 발생하고 있다. 용접으로 인해 발생하는 자기 누설신호는 부식신호에 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구는 용접신호가 부식 신호에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 가스관의 용접과 부식과의 거리에 따른 자기누설을 해석하고, 분석하였다. 또한 용접에 의해 왜곡된 부식신호를 보정하고, 판정을 위한 방법을 제시하였다.

Micro-defects induced by design and production failure or working environments are known as the cause of SCC(Stress Corrosion Cracking) in aged structures. Therefore, the evaluation of structural integrity based on micro-cracks is required not only a manufacturing step but also in-service term. So we introduce a new nondestructive inspection method using the magneto-optical film to detect micro-cracks. The method has some advantage such as high testing speed, real time data acquistion and the possibility of remote sensing by using of a magneto-optical film that takes advantage of the change of magnetic domains and domain walls. This paper introduces the concept of the new nondestructive inspection method using the magneto-optical film, also proves the possibility of this method as a remote testing system under oscillating load considering application on real fields by applying the method to four types of specimens.

Defects generated in a railroad track that guides the railroad vehicle have the characteristic of growing fast; as such, the detection technology for railroad track defects is very important because defects can eventually cause mass disasters like derailments. In this study, a speed-up test facility was fabricated to investigate the feasibility of using magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technology for defect detection in a railroad track under speed-up condition; a test was conducted using a railroad track specimen with defects. For this purpose, an MFL sensor head dedicated to the configuration of the railroad was designed and test specimens with artificial defects on their surfaces were manufactured. Using the test facility, a speed-up test ranging from 4km/h to 12km/h was performed and defects including locations were successfully detected from MFL signals induced by defects with enhanced visibility by differentiating raw MFL signals. In the future, it should be possible to apply this system to a high-speed railroad inspection car by improving the lift-off stability that is necessary for speed-up of the developed MFL sensor system.

The shield effect of 4 layered shield case was investigated in this paper. The material of the case was non-oriented SiFe sheet with a thickness of 0.5mm. The size of the case was 100mm wide, 100mm high and 300mm long. Relative permeability of SiFe sheet was needed to calculate shield effect. It was obtained from the measurement by a ferrite yoke and from the calculation by eddy current FEM analysis. Three configurations were used to connect both ends of SiFe sheet. First one is a connection by double-welded butt. Second one is to put the sheet the same material above the confronted both ends of the sheet to avoid a leakage magnetic flux. The last one is ideally without any connection. The shield effect of the second one agreed well with the last one and showed the shield effect of -40dB.

The wire rope of container crane is a important component to container transfer system and is used in a myriad of various applications such as elevator, mine hoist, construction machinery, and so on. If it happen wire rope failures in operating, it may lead to the safety accident and economic loss, which is productivity decline, competitive decline of container terminal, etc. To solve this problem, we developed the active and portable wire rope fault detecting system. The developed system consists of three parts that are the fault detecting, signal processing, and remote monitoring part. All detected signal has external noise or disturbance according to circumstances. Therefore we applied to discrete wavelet transform to extract a signal from noisy data that was used filter. As experimental result, we can reduce the expense for container terminal because of extension of exchange period of wire rope for container crane and this system is possible to apply in several fields to use wire rope.
