The applicability of non-destructive near infrared reflectance spectroscopic (NIRS) method was tested to determine the protein and oil contents of intact soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds. A total of 198 soybean calibration samples and 101 validation samples were used for NIRS equation development and validation, respectively. In the developed non-destructive NIRS equation for analysis of protein and oil contents, the most accurate equation was obtained at 2, 8, 6, 1(2nd derivative, 8 nm gap, 6 points smoothing, and 1 point second smoothing) and 2, 1, 20, 10 math treatment conditions with Standard Normal Variate and Detrend (SNVD) scatter correction method and entire spectrum (400-2500 nm) by using Modified Partial Least Squares (MPLS) regression, respectively. Validation of these non-destructive NIRS equations showed very low bias (protein: 0.060%, oil: -0.017%) and standard error of prediction (SEP, protein: 0.568 %, oil : 0.451 %) as well as high coefficient of determination ($R^2$, protein: 0.927, oil: 0.906). Therefore, these non-destructive NIRS equations can be applicable and reliable for determination of protein and oil content of intact soybean seeds, and non-destructive NIRS method could be used as a mass screening technique for selection of high protein and oil soybean in breeding programs.

This study was to measure the properties of logs and classify them by non-destructive methods. The purpose of this experiment was focused at mensurability of logs by non-destructive methods. The non-destructive instrument, Stress-Wave Timer 239A which was made by Metriguard in U.S.A., was used. The stress wave velocities of log's cross direction were measured and compared with three different methods; 1. with hammer, 2. with hammer and D.B.H. meter, 3. with manufactured instrument. Number of used logs were seven logs, which were classified by naked eye into six groups; very severe rot, severe rot, mild rot & knot, mild rot & check, mild rot, sound log, and in diameter were into three groups; large(57.4cm), medium(36~41.2cm), small(28.9cm) log. The results, which were classified by mensurability with non-destructive methods, were followed; 1. The stress wave velocities were very different between rot and sound log. So it meant the possibility of mensurability of logs by non-destructive method even if high standard error. 2. The stress wave velocities decreased with checks more than with rots, which meant the checks affected speeds more. 3. The stress wave velocities increased with knot. 4. The velocities with manufactured instrument showed lower standard error, so more accurate results than other methods. Especially the required labour decreased from 3~4 to 2 persons. 5. Finally, the mensurability showed more accurate results and made the classification of logs scientific.

Nano-cementitious composites may have defects due to poor dispersion of nanomaterials and fabrication process. These defects can cause critical problems for nano-cementitious composites, but studies related to non-destructive analysis of defects sizes inside nano-cementitious composites are insufficient. This study aims to perform non-destructive analysis of nano-cementitious composites by utilizing ultrasonic and electrical resistance. Various sizes of defects were implemented inside the specimens and the specimens were subjected to ultrasonic non-destructive analysis and electrical resistance non-destructive analysis depending on the size of defects and curing days. As a result of the experiment, ultrasonic pulse velocity decreased by up to 11% as the defects size increased, and the electrical resistance increased by up to 14% depending on the defects size. For this reason, this study concluded that non-destructive analysis using ultrasonic and electrical resistance can predict defects inside nano-cementitious composites.

Non-destructive determination of soluble solids(Brix) in harvested fruits using near infrared(hereafter, NIR) spectroscopy has been reported by many researchers. We have just reported on non-destructive estimation of Brix in harvested melons using a NIR Systems Model 6500 spectrophotometer(Ito et al., 2000). There is a melon cultivar that is difficult to judge the harvest time from the external appearance. If we can determine Brix in growing fruits non-destructively in the field, immature fruits will not be harvested. A portable m spectrophotometer for field use has been just developed by Kubota Corporation. The spectral data of growing melons were measured by the portable spectrophotometer. A commercial program was used for multiple linear regression analysis. Brix in growing melons could be estimated by a multiple regression equation calibrated with harvested melons. Absorbances of 906 and 874 nm were included as the independent variables in the multiple regression equation, and these wavelengths are key wavelengths for non-destructive Brix determination.

The aim of the paper is to introduce the statistical definition of the specified compressive strength of the concrete to be used for safety evaluation of the existing structure in domestic practice and to present the practical method to obtain the specified strength by utilizing the non-destructive test data as well as the limited number of core test data. The statistical definition of the specified compressive strength of concrete in the design codes is reviewed and the consistent formulations to statistically estimate the specified strength for assessment are described. In order to prevent estimating an unrealistically small value of the specified strength due to limited number of data, it is proposed that the information from the non-destructive test data is combined to that of the minimum core test data. The the sample mean, standard deviation and total number of concrete test are obtained from combined test data. The proposed procedures are applied to an example test data composed of the artificial numerical values and the actual evaluation data collected from the bridge assessment reports. The calculation results show that the proposed statistical estimation procedures yield reasonable values of the specified strength for assessment by applying the non-destructive test data in addition to the limited number of core test data.

PURPOSES : This study is to evaluate moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures by using non-destructive impact wave and to determine durability so as to decrease the gap between before and after freezing in the future. METHODS : Using non-destructive impact wave, this study is to determine the dynamic modulus of asphalt specimen. Furthermore, the results obtained from two experiment accelerometers are used for the dynamic modulus determination. The dynamic moduli of specimens are compared with those of the freezing-thawing specimens. RESULTS : Test results showed that the dynamic modulus before freezing and thawing environment loads at each temperature dropped about 3.7% after the environmental loads. Furthermore, correlation analysis indicates that transition of dynamic modulus at each point is about 89.59%. CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of asphalt mixtures using non-destructive impact wave has excellent repeatability and simple equipment for the test. Consequently, the method in the study will be useful for evaluating the characteristics of a various asphalt mixtures.

In this study, the Non-Destructive Testing Equipment was introduced for the compaction control and the evaluation of pavements properties and the developing process was showed. Falling Weight Deflectometer(FWD) is a system for performing non-destructive testing of pavement and the other foundation structures. The system develops forces from the acceleration caused by the arrest of a falling weight and these forces are transmitted onto the surface of a structure causing it to deflect much as it would due to the weight of a passing wheel load. The structure will bend downward and exhibit a deflection basin. FWD uses a set of velocity sensors to determine the amplitude and shape of the deflection basin. The deflection response, when related to the applied loading, can provide information about the strength and condition of the various elements of the test structure. In this study, a computer program was developed that can be used to evaluate pavement and foundation structures from the data produced by FWD. The Falling Weight Deflectometer, non-destructive testing equipment, is increasing used at the whole world.
