본 연구에서는 타격음을 이용한 비파괴 검사법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법(tapping sound analysis)은 건강한 구조물과 손상된 구조물의 타격음의 차이를 분석하여 구조물의 손상 유무를 판단하는 방법이다. 타격음의 직접적인 비교는 비효율적이므로 타격음으로부터 특성을 추출하기 위해 wavelet packet transform에 기반한 특성추출법을 제안하였다. 또한 추출된 특성 자료를 바탕으로 손상의 유무를 판단하는 지표로서 특성 지수를 정의하였다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 밝히기 위해 실험적인 검증을 수행하였다. 복합재료를 이용하여 건강한 구조물과 손상된 구조물을 제작하고 타격음을 측정하였다. 제안된 손상 판단 기법을 이용한 결과로부터 특성 지수에 의한 손상 판단의 타당성을 밝혔다.

In this paper, we suggest a method of detecting defects by applying Hough transform and least squares on ceramic images obtained from non-destructive testing. In the ceramic images obtained from non-destructive testing, the background area, where the defect does not exist, commonly show gradual change of luminosity in vertical direction. In order to extract the background area which is going to be used in the detection of defects, Hough transform is performed to rotate the ceramic image in a way that the direction of overall luminosity change lies in the vertical direction as much as possible. Least squares are then applied on the rotated image to approximate the contrast value of the background area. The extracted background area is used for extracting defects from the ceramic images. In this paper we applied this method on ceramic images acquired from non-destructive testing. It was confirmed that extracted background area could be effectively applied for searching the section where the defect exists and detecting the defect.

Concrete carbonation is a continuous and slow process from the outside to the inside, in which its penetration slows down with the increased depth of carbonation. In this paper, the results of the evaluation of the measurement of concrete carbonation depth using a non-destructive ultrasonic testing method are presented. According to the results, the relative nonlinear parameter caused more sensitivity in carbonation changes compared to Rayleigh's fuzzy velocity. Thus, the acoustic nonlinear parameter is expected to be applied as a quantitative index to recognize carbonation effects. In this research, combo diagrams were developed based on the results of ultrasonic testing and the experiment to determine carbonation depth using a phenolphthalein solution, which could be considered as instructions in the projects involving non-destructive ultrasonic test methods. The minimum and maximum accuracy of this method were 89% and 97%, respectively, which is a reasonable range for operational projects. From the analysis performed, some useful expressions are found by applying the regression analysis for the nonlinearity index and the carbonation penetration depth values as a guideline.

국내산 낙엽송 소경각재의 휨 강도 성능을 예측하기 위하여 비파괴적인 지표의 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 낙엽송 소경각재(단면 $89{\times}120mm$)를 초음파법, 종진동법, 소하중법의 비파괴 방법으로 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 실측 탄성계수와 유의성이 높은 비파괴 측정 방법을 결정 후 휨 파괴계수 예측 지표로 적용하였다. 종진동법으로 측정된 탄성계수가 실측 탄성계수와 가장 높은 유의성을 나타냈다. 휨 파괴계수와 실측 탄성계수의 유의성도 매우 밀접하게 측정되었으므로 종진동법에 의한 비파괴 탄성계수로 소경각재의 휨 파괴계수를 예측하였다.

Parrots have been threatened by global trade to meet their high demand as pets. Controlling parrot trade is essential because parrots play a vital role in the ecosystem. Accurate species identification is crucial for controlling parrot trade. Parrots have been traded as eggs due to their advantages of lower mortality rates and more accessible transport than live parrots. A molecular method is required to identify parrot eggs because it is difficult to perform identification using morphological features. In this study, DNAs were obtained from 43 unidentified parrot eggs using a non-destructive sampling method. Partial cytochrome b (CYTB) gene was then successfully amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. Sequences newly obtained in the present study were compared to those available in the GenBank by database searching. In addition, phylogenetic analysis was conducted to identify species using available sequences in GenBank along with sequences reported in previous studies. Finally, the 43 parrot eggs were successfully identified as seven species belonging to two families and seven genera. This non-destructive sampling method for obtaining DNA and molecular identification might help control the trade of parrot eggs and prevent their illegal trade.

Non-destructive test on the size and depth of cracks has been required for the safety evaluation of structures. Ultrasonic method based on laser techniques is one of the most popular non-destructive methods which overwhelm PZT based tests. In the present paper, ultrasonic was generated by high powered Q switching Nd:YAG pulse laser. Experiments were carried out using Fabry-Perot interferometer which was intensively discussed in the present study.

본 논문에서는 비파괴 검사를 통하여 얻어진 항공 갑판 영상에서, 조직의 결함의 정도를 자동으로 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 비파괴 검사를 통하여 얻어진 항공 갑판 영상에서 감마상관 변환과 7${\times}$7 소벨 마스크와 13${\times}$13 소벨 마스크를 각각 적용하여 윤곽선을 추출하고 추출된 윤곽선 영역을 평활화와 평균 이진화 기법을 적용하여 영상을 보정한다. 마지막으로 보정된 영상에서 침식 연산과 팽창 연산을 이용하여 잡음을 제거한 후, 라벨링 기법을 적용하여 항공 갑판의 결함 영역을 추출한다. 실험 결과에서, 항공 갑판에서 결함을 추출하는데 기존의 방법보다 효과적인 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new method for assessing the three-point-bending (3PB) strength of mortar beams in a non-destructive manner, based on neural network (NN) models. The models are based on the radial basis function (RBF) architecture and the fuzzy means algorithm is employed for training, in order to boost the prediction accuracy. Data for training the models were collected based on a series of experiments, where the cement mortar beams were subjected to various bending mechanical loads and the resulting pressure stimulated currents (PSCs) were recorded. The input variables to the NN models were then calculated by describing the PSC relaxation process through a generalization of Boltzmannn-Gibbs statistical physics, known as non-extensive statistical physics (NESP). The NN predictions were evaluated using k-fold cross-validation and new data that were kept independent from training; it can be seen that the proposed method can successfully form the basis of a non-destructive tool for assessing the bending strength. A comparison with a different NN architecture confirms the superiority of the proposed approach.

The presence of crack-like defects in mechanical and structural elements produces failures during their service life that in some cases can be catastrophic. So, the early detection of the fatigue cracks is particularly important because they grow rapidly, with a propagation velocity that increases exponentially, and may lead to long out-of-service periods, heavy damages of machines and severe economic consequences. In this work, a non-destructive method for the detection and identification of elliptical cracks in shafts based on stress wave propagation is proposed. The propagation of a stress wave in a cracked shaft has been numerically analyzed and numerical results have been used to detect and identify the crack through the genetic algorithm optimization method. The results obtained in this work allow the development of an on-line method for damage detection and identification for cracked shaft-like components using an easy and portable dynamic testing device.
