  • If the velocities of longitudinal, transverse and leaky surface acoustic waves in an isotropic material are given, the elastic constants and density of the material can be deduced analytically. Those velocities have been measured using three ultrasonic transducers with different vibrational modes so far. In this paper a line-focusing PVDF transducer with divided electrodes was newly proposed and designed for measuring approximate velocities of the three waves. The measurement method established in this study for each waves using the transducer was applied to several isotropic materials including fused quartz. The elastic stiffness constants and densities of the materials were calculated using the measured velocities, and the accuracies were discussed. It was shown that the obtained results are in good accord with the reference values.

  • 제작되어진 LFB PVDF 초음파트랜스듀서를 이용하여 누설탄성표면파(Leaky Surface Acoustic Wave : LSAW)측정을 하였다. 시료로서는 $SiO_2$, Al, Cu등을 사용하였고, 측정방법으로써는 초점면에 위치한 시료를 트랜스듀서 쪽으로 접근시켰을 때 LSAW가 트랜스듀서의 중심축을 통과한 후 시료표면에서 반사되어오는 종파와 분리되어지는 현상을 이용하였다. 실험결과는 Campbell and Jones의 이론에 의한 해석결과와 비교 분석하였는데 매우 잘 일치됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • Cavities behind concrete walls can adversely affect the stability of structures. Thus study aims to detect cavities behind concrete structures using a microphone in a laboratory model test. A small-scale concrete wall is constructed in a chamber, which is composed of a reinforced concrete plate and dry soil. A plastic bowl is then placed between the plate and soil to simulate a cavity behind the concrete structure. Leaky surface acoustic waves are generated by impacting the concrete plate using a hammer and are measured using a microphone. The measured signals are analyzed using natural frequencies, and cavity-free sections are evaluated. The test results show that the first natural frequency decreases at the cavity section due to the flexural vibration behavior of the plate. In addition, the amplitude corresponding to the first natural frequency decreases as the measurement location becomes farther from the cavity center and significantly decreases at the measurement locations near the rebars. This study demonstrates that a microphone may be useful to detect cavities behind concrete walls.

  • 누설탄성표면파(Leaky Surface Acoustic Wave : LSAW) 측정에 사용하는 것을 목적으로 PVBF 압전막을 이용하여 직선집속 초음파트랜스듀서를 제작하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 제작은 한쪽 면이 원통형 구조를 갖는 구리, 알루미늄, 3mmPVC-에폭시 3가지 재료를 배면층으로 사용하여 각각에 PVDF를 부착시켜서 수중에 음파를 방사하도록 구성하였고, 특성평가는 임펄스응답 특성과 음장 특성으로 나누어서 평가하였다. 임펄스응답 특성은 제작한 3종류의 집속 초음파트랜스듀서에 대해 실험적으로 측정하고, Mason 등가회로1)를 이용한 이론적 해석결과와 비교하였다. 음장특성 측정실험은 구리를 배면체로 하여 제작한 집속 초음파트랜스듀서에 대해서 실시하였고, 그 이론적인 계산결과는 Raylelgh-Somme-rfeld 회 절이론2)을 도입하여 초점면에 형성되는 음압분포를 계산하는 것으로 얻어졌다. 실험은 펄스 초음파 송수기 및 $2{\mu}m/step$으로 이동하는 정밀 x-y-z 스테이지를 컴퓨터에 연결하여 자동 측정하는 것으로 수행되었는데, 그 결과는 이론 해석결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.
