We have developed and tested a new method for nondestructive estimation of chlorophyll- and nitrogen-contents in rye leaf. It was found that the relation-ships among nitrogen, chlorophyll content and fresh weight were significantly positive correlated. Nitrogen and chlorophyll content were positively correlated whereas correlation coefficients among R, G, R-B and G-B on the basis of photo-numerical values were negative. We have found that R/(R-B) obtained from data of digital camera is the best criterion to estimate the chlorophyll content of leaves. The regression curves of the relation between R/(R-B) and chlorophyll content were also calculated from the data collected on cloudy days. The coefficients of determination ($\textrm{r}^2$) were ranged from 0.33 to 0.99. In this study, the accuracy in estimating chlorophyll content from the color data of digital camera image could be improved by correcting with R, G, and B values. It is suggested that, for practical purposes, the image values estimated with sufficient accuracy using a portable digital camera can be applied for determining chlorophyll content and nitrogen status in plant leaves.

This paper is concerned with a computational method for recovering a crack shape of steam generator tubes of nuclear plants. Problems on the shape identification are discussed arising in the characterization of a structural defect in a conductor using data of eddy current inspection. A surface defect on the generator tube ran be detected as a probe impedance trajectory by scanning a pancake type coil. First, a mathematical model of the inspection process is derived from the Maxwell's equation. Second, the input and output relation is given by the approximate model by virtue of the hybrid use of the finite element and boundary element method. In that model, the crack shape is characterized by the unknown coefficients of the B-spline function which approximates the crack shape geometry. Finally, a parameter estimation technique is proposed for recovering the crack shape using data from the probe coil. The computational experiments were successfully tested with the laboratory data.

콘크리트 구조물에서 발생하는 균열은 구조물의 심각한 성능 저하와 파괴를 유발할 수 있으며, 따라서 이러한 균열 손상의 조기 탐지 및 평가, 보수는 구조물의 건전성에 있어서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 특히, 균열의 평가를 위한 많은 방법들이 제안되었으며, 그 중에서도 자기 보정 표면파 투과 기법을 이용한 균열 깊이 추정법은 다른 방법에 비하여 균열의 깊이 변화에 가장 민감한 장점이 있는 방법이다. 그러나 자기 보정 표면파 투과 기법은 주파수에 따른 투과 함수의 변동성으로 인하여 정량적인 평가는 아직 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 측정된 자기 보정 표면파 투과 함수의 스펙트럼 에너지를 이용하여 균열 깊이를 추정하는 기법을 제안하고자 하며, 이 기법의 유효성을 판단하기 위하여 다양한 균열 깊이를 가진 콘크리트 슬래브를 이용하여 실험적인 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과 제안된 방법이 균열 깊이 평가에 유효하게 사용할 수 있으며, 또한 기존의 방법에 비하여 보다 정확한 균열 깊이를 추정하는 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

It is very important to evaluate the surface or subsurface microstructure because of their influences on mechanical properties of materials. Surface SH-wave which is horizontally polarized shear wave traveling along near surface and subsurface layer is an attractive technique for material evaluation. The destructive method is widely used for the estimation of material degradation but it has a great difficulty in preparing specimens from in-service industrial facilities. In this study, nondestructive evaluation for degraded structural materials used at high temperature though surface SH-wave method is discussed. 2.25Cr-1Mo steel specimens which were prepared by the isothermal aging heat treatment at $650^{\circ}$ were evaluated though ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation techniques investigating the change of sound velocity, attenuation coefficient and amplitude spectra. In addition, it has verified experimentally the frequency-dependence of attenuation coefficient though wavelet analysis method.

콘크리트 비파괴강도 추정식은 일반적으로 콘크리트 강도를 결정하는데 사용된다. 그러나 기존의 추정식들은 대부분 제한된 실험 변수를 토대로 제안되어 배합조건, 강도특성 등이 다양한 실제 공용중 교량의콘크리트 압축강도 추정시 많은 오류를 포함한다. 본 연구에서는 297개 공용 교량의 정밀안전진단 결과 중 콘크리트 비파괴시험 및 현장 코어강도 시험결과를 토대로 콘크리트 부재의 코어강도와 비파괴 추정강도 평가결과를 비교분석하였다. 분석결과 분석이 이루어진 기존 추정식들 중 일본건축학회 CNDT소위원회 강도계산식이 다른 추정식에 비하여 실제파괴강도와의 오차가 가장적고 상관분석의 신뢰도도 가장높은 것으로 검토되었다. 그러나 이 추정식은 코어강도가 30 MPa이상일때 추정강도는 과소평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 논문에서는 추정식에 의한 강도와 현장 코어강도사이의 관계를 활용하여 회귀분석을 통한 개선된 비파괴강도 추정식을 제안하였다.

The structure must be periodically checked and measures must be taken to prevent deterioration in building construction. From this point of view, a nondestructive test is essential to estimate whether the construction of buildings is proper, and whether the dimension of depositing concrete is consistent and without damage. This study estimated the thickness of the concrete component of construction framework using the ultrasonic velocity method and the impact echo method, in order to investigate reliability of the estimation of the thickness of normal strength concrete and high strength concrete, leading to the following conclusions. In the estimation of the thickness of the concrete structures, specimens of normal strength of 24MPa and specimens of high strength of 40MPa demonstrated an average error rate of 5.1% and 2.2%, respectively. The impact-echo method, one of the non-destructive tests, is verified as an efficient diagnostic technique. With this information, we will determine specific standards for the maintenance of structures, and the re-creation of lost building blueprints.

Measurement of leaf area index (LAI) is useful for understanding rice growth, water use, and canopy light interception. The top nitrogen content(TNC) per unit area is an important quantitative index of the condition of nitrogen nutrition in rice production. The rapid and simple method of estimation of TNC, with the use of the existing nondestructive analyzing instruments chlorophyll meter SPAD-502 and plant canopy analyzer (PCA) LAI-2000, was scrutinized. Destructive measurement is time consuming and labor intensive. Our objective was to evaluate sampling procedures using the Li-Cor LI-1800, LAI 2000 plant canopy analyzer (PCA) for nondestructive estimation of rice LAI, and SPAD-502 on the Northern Plains of Cheongju. The LAI estimated by PCA tended to underestimate the LAI determined by actual measurement by about 20%. The estimation of LAI by PCA was judged to have a sufficient accuracy as a practical technique. A high positive correlation was obtained between the values of the SPAD reading and LAI. NDVI and LAI also showed a very high correlation. The values of the SPAD reading and LAI, and NDVI gave a high positive correlation. These results indicated that the method described in this study was effective as a simple and rapid method for the estimation of rice growth.

The importance and role of preservice and inservice inspection(PSI/ISI) for nuclear power plant components are intimately related to plant design, safety, reliability and operation etc.. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI) has been performing PSI/ISI in Korea since the PSI of Kori nuclear power plant, unit 1 had been performed in 1977. KAERI has localized PSI/ISI technology and has done much experience in ultrasonic flaw detection, evaluation and its excavation on the weldments of large pressure vessels. The results of flaw estimation using ultrasonic examination are compared with the actual flaw sizes revealed by field excavation. KAERI's experience regarding PSI/ISI was described and some discussions were added.

A new BWIM(bridge weigh-in-motion) algorithm using both measured strain and acceleration data is proposed. To consider the effects of bridge vibration on the estimation of moving loads, the dynamic governing equation is applied with the known stiffness and mass properties but damping is ignored. Dynamic displacements are computed indirectly from the measured strains using the beam theory and accelerations are measured directly by accelerometers. To convert a unit moving load to its equivalent nodal force, a transformation matrix is determined. The incompleteness in the measured responses is considered in developing the algorithm. To examine the proposed BWIM algorithm, simulation studies, laboratory experiments and field tests were carried. In the simulation study, effects of measurement noise and estimation error in the vehicle speed on the results were investigated.
