In this paper, a measuring NDT(nondestructive testing) system using RUS(Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy) was built for nondestructive evaluation of the flaw in a ceramic Ferrule. The principle of RUS is that the mechanical resonant frequency of the materials depends on density, and the coefficient of elasticity. The RUS system is the measuring which is to exite specimen and to inspect the difference of natural frequency pattern between acceptable specimen and specimen which has some defects. RUS system is configured of spectrum analyzer, power amplifier, PZT sensor and support frame. For defect evaluation by the RUS, we performed to measure natural frequency of Ferrule, both acceptable and cracked. In the case of Ferrule, the resonant frequency of cracked-Ferrule existed to higher frequency band than acceptable-Ferrule.

The problem of delamination of composite tubes by impact has been acknowledged in aerospace and automobile industry. Non-destructive testing(NDT) methods in composite material structure are important to evaluate reliability of composite structure. There are many kinds of NDT methods which can detect the inside defect of the composite material such as Infrared Thermography(IRT). Infrared thermal imaging of object is different from that of a defect, in heated composite tubes with an internal defect, and then location and size of a defect can be measured by the analysis of thermal imaging pattern. In this study, Lock-in Infrared thermography detect internal defects of Impacted composite tubes by the inspection of infrared lay radiated from the surface of composite tubes.

MFL PIG (Magnetic Flux Leakage Pipeline Inspection Gauge) is called the system which detects the defect for underground pipelines by using magnetic flux leakage method in nondestructive testing. This method is very suitable for testing pipelines because pipeline has high magnetic permeability. MFL PIG generates the magnetic fields to the pipe axially oriented, and detect the signal of leakage flux by using hall sensor. However, MFL PIG is hard to detect the axially oriented crack with small size because the magnetic flux leakage is not enough to be occurred. To detect the small size and axially oriented crack, the circumferential MFL (CMFL) PIG is being proposed and it can maximize the leakage flux for the axial crack by performing magnetic fields circumferentially on the pipe. In this paper, CMFL PIG is applied to detect the axially oriented crack with small size and the analysis for the distribution and the amplitude of the leakage flux signal is performed by using three dimensional finite element method. From sensing signals, the method how to determine the shape of axially oriented cracks is proposed and verified with experiment.

비파괴검사 기술의 레벨 향상과 안정화를 통한 시간적 재현성이 있는 비파괴검사 결과의 확보를 위해서는 비파괴검사 기술자의 자격 인정 및 인증(nondestructive testing qualification and certification of personnel)제도의 확립이 매우 중요하다. 비파괴검사 결과에 대한 유효성은 비파괴검사을 실시하는 사람의 능력이나 비파괴검사에 대한 책임을 지고 있는 사람의 능력에 크게 의존한다. 1974년부터 원자력 선진국들이 중심이 되어 수행된 PISC 프로그램(program for inspection of steel components) 및 EPRI 등에서는 순회시험 (piping inspection round-robin: PIRR trial) 결과 기존 비파괴검사 방법은 모의 시험편에 있는 상당히 큰 결함도 탐지하지 못하거나 정확한 결함크기를 측정하는데 실패한 경우가 있으며, 검사자의 기량 또는 신체조건에 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다[1]. 국제표준화기구(ISO)의 비파괴검사 기술자의 기량인정 및 인증에 대한 국제규격안 DIS(draft international standard) 9712에서는 비파괴검사를 기획 실시 감독 감시 평가를 하기 위한 적절한 이론적 및 실무적 지식을 필요로 하는 기술자의 능력을 평가하고, 문서화하는 방법을 제공하는 절차를 제시하고 있다. 국제표준화기구에 의한 비파괴검사 기술자의 기량인정 및 인증에 대한 국제통합을 추진하는 동기는 제 3자에 의한 체계적인 인증시스템을 가지고 있지 않은 나라와 새로운 NDT 방법에 대해서 인증제도를 적용할 때 세계적인 공통성을 갖도록 유도하기 위함이다. 현재, 우리나라 비파괴검사 기술자의 기술자격 인증제도는 국가기술자격법에 의거하여 한국산업인력공단에서 주관하여 기술사, 기사, 산업기사, 기능사로 구분하여 실시하고 있다. 국제표준화기구의 비파괴검사 기술자의 자격과 인증에 대한 국제 통합화(안)[2]이 거의 마무리 단계에 있고 일본을 비롯한 많은 나라가 국제규격을 기초로 한 새로운 인증제도를 발족시켜 거의 시행 단계에 있다. 반면 국내에서는 한국비파괴검사학회(KSNT)에서 비파괴검사 기술자의 자격인정 및 인증제도의 개선방향이 제시된 바 있고 [3], 표준화위원회에서 나름대로 준비를 하고 있으나 아직 구체적인 실천단계에와 있지 못하다. 본 고에서는 최근 대폭수정 보완된 ISO/DIS 9712 국제규격(안)을 회원들에게 소개하고, 우리나라의 향후 대응방안에 관한 회원 여러분의 의견 수렴에 도움을 주고자 ISO/DIS 9712(1997)를 번역하여 제공한다.

This paper consider a simple Nondestructive Testing(NDT) having eddy currnt effect. We analyzed the two dimension modeling of alternative magnetic field. eddy current with voltage source. And, the current magnitude and phase data obtained from each different frequency five object position is used for learning the neural network. Therefore, we can recognize an object position pattern from new input current magnitude, phase data.

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.

In this paper, as a new measurement method to estimate the change of material condition, the simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information of three directions, that is, $90^{\circ}$, $+45^{\circ}C$and $-45^{\circ}C$ about inspection plane is proposed. Use of simplified CT system has two merits: Firstly, the measurement time is very short compared with general CT. Secondly, it can detect sensitively small defect in vertical or slant direction about inspection plane because the obtained image is CT image calculated from three directions. From these merits, this method can be considered as an effective method to evaluate material conditions. The basic performance of the proposed method was confirmed through several specimens with several simple defects. In order to confirm the applicability of actual NDT, several kinds of welded specimens are investigated. The result showed that the CT image obtained had good agreement with actual defect of specimens.

This study was conducted to find the relationship between the moisture content and basic density of green lumber and the final moisture content of kiln dried lumber. The possibility of using a ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology was investigated. Four matched 2-foot long boards were kiln-dried for 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours. Twenty three slices were cut to examine the distribution of moisture content along the length. It was revealed that the green weight was a better estimator of the final moisture content of the kiln-dried board than the green moisture content. The standard deviations of the moisture contents of the slices were not correlated with the final moisture contents of the kiln-dried boards. The two ultrasonic devices used for this study were apparently good tools for NDT.
