  • A defect which is axially oriented with small size is hard to detect in conventional system. CMFL(Cricumferential Magnetic Flus Leakage) type PIG(Pipelines Inspection Gauge) in the NDT(Nondestructive Testing), is operated to detect this defect called axially oriented cracks in the pipe. It is necessary to decompose the size and shapes of cracks for the manintenance of underground pipelines. This article is focused on the decomposing method of the size and shape of the axially oriented cracks by using inspection signal data for defect.

  • It is well recognized that the ultrasonic method is one of the most common and reliable nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for the quantitative estimation of defects in welded structures. However, NDT techniques applying for adhesively bonded joints have not been clearly established yet. In this paper, the detection of interface crack by the ultrasonic method was applied for the measurement of interfacial crack length in the adhesively bonded joints of double-cantilever beam (DCB). An optimal condition of transmission coefficients and experimental accuracy by the ultrasonic method in the adhesively bonded joints have been investigated and discussed. The experimental values are in good agreement with the computed results by boundary element method (BEM) and Ripling's equation.

  • Terahertz (THz) imaging and spectroscopy have been developed as non-destructive testing methods for various industrial applications. However, they have not been widely adopted in real applications owing to a high system price and the large size of conventional THz time-domain spectroscopy systems, which are based on ultrashort optical pulse lasers. Recently, various types of compact THz emitters and detectors have become available. As a result, THz non-destructive test (NDT) systems have become viable solutions. Herein, we briefly review the recent advances in THz NDT techniques adopting continuous-wave THz systems, including our recent results of a THz-based waterproof test system and an electrical connection inspection system for car manufacturing.

  • 원자력발전소에는 매우 복잡하고 긴 배관 시스템이 작동되고 있다. 이 배관은 매우 높은 온도와 압력에 견디게 설계 및 제작 되었으나, 사용연수의 증가에 따라 배관이 깎이는 감육현상이 발생하며, 이로 인한 배관 파단 사고가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 감육현상은 배관의 곡관부에서 자주 발생하는데, 이를 감시하기 위하여 지금까지는 초음파를 이용한 배관 두께 측정을 해오고 있다. 그러나 이 검사 결과의 신뢰성이 없고, 유선 검사 방식을 채택함으로 인한 장비 설치 문제로 극히 일부 배관의 곡관부에 대한 감시만 수행되고 있는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 펄스 와전류 기법과 일체형 소형 무선 센서를 이용하여 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

  • Non-Destructive Health Monitoring using PZT sensors is a major concern and has great significance for research about NDT (Non-Destructive Test). In this paper, we study about the guided wave measurement method using PZT sensors to find cracks and estimate locations. Two aluminum beams bonded with PZT sensors were tested for estimating about the guided wave propagation characteristics and shape of each beam are decided in terms of analytical purpose. NI Signal Acquisition Device and specially designed LabVIEW VI program were used for data acquisition and analysis. The measured data were progressed by using a high-pass filtering.

  • The magnetic flux leakage(MFL) type nondestructive testing(NDT) method is widely used to detect corrosion, defects and mechanical deformation of the underground gas pipelines. The object pipeline is magnetically saturated by the magnetic system with permanent magnet and yokes. Hall sensors detect the leakage fields in the region of the defect. The defects are sometimes occurred in group. The accuracy of the detecting signals in this defect cluster become lowered because of the complexity of the defect cluster. In this paper, the effects of the multi -defects are analyzed. The detecting signals are computed by 3-dimensional finite element method and compared with real measurement. The results say that, rather than the size of the defects, the effects of the relative position of the multi-defects are very important on the detecting signals.
