Non-contacting, laser-based resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (L-RUS) was applied to characterize the microstructure of a material. L-RUS is widely used by virtue of its many features. Firstly, L-RUS can be used to measure mechanical damping which related to the microstructural variations (grain boundary, grain size, precipitation, defects, dislocations etc). Secondly, L-RUS technology can be applied to various areas, such as the noncontact and nondestructive quality test for precision components as well as noncontact and nondestructive materials characterization. In addition, L-RUS technology can measure the whole field resonant frequency at once. In this paper, we evaluated material characteristics such as resonant frequency, nonlinear propagation characteristic through the development of Laser-Based Resonant Ultrasound spectroscopy (Laser-RUS) System for the detection of Micro Crack in Materials.

구조체 열화, 손상 등에 의해 발생하는 누수는 동결융해에 의한 체적 변화를 유발하는 주요 원인 중 하나이며, 콘크리트 내부의 미세균열, 표면 스케일링 등을 유발한다. 이러한 손상은 염화물 등 외기 유해물질 침투 및 확산을 가속화시킨다. 시설물 성능평가 세부지침(2020)에서 피복 콘크리트 품질과 동해환경 지표가 새롭게 제시되었으며, 피복 콘크리트 품질은 반발경도시험으로, 동해환경은 동결융해 싸이클 수로 평가한다. 본 논문에서는 빠른 동특성 기반 초음파 비선형성을 통해 동결융해에 의한 초기 미세손상을 평가하고자 하였다. 서로 다른 물-시멘트비(40%, 60%)와 공기량(1.5%, 3.0%)을 가지는 콘크리트 시험체를 제작하고, 동결융해 싸이클 수를 증가시키며 압축강도, 반발경도, 상대동 탄성계수, 초음파 비선형성을 측정하였으며, SEM을 활용하여 미세균열 발생 및 진전을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 상대동탄성계수 및 반발경도로는 확인이 어려웠던 초기 미세손상을 공진주파수 비선형성 측정을 통해 탐지할 수 있었으며, 콘크리트의 동결융해 저항성능을 예측할 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Nonlinear oscillation of a microbubble under ultrasound was investigated theoretically. The bubble radius-time curves calculated by the Rayleigh-Plesset equation with a polytropic index and by the Keller-Miksis equation with the analytical solution for the Navier-Stokes equations of the gases were compared with the observed results by the light scattering method. This study has revealed that the bubble behavior such as the expansion ratio and the bouncing motion after the first collapse under ultrasound depends crucially on the retarded time of the bubble motion to the applied ultrasound.

In this paper attenuation effect on the measurement and the tomography of nonlinear parameter is discussed. We perform computer simulation with the method using harmonic components and the method using secondary wave components, and then estimate attenuation effect through the results and compare two measurement techniques. According to simulation result the attenuation effect is more intensive as large n and \ulcorner, and the degree of the attenuation effect is represented as error functions. In the aspect of measuremnet techniques, the method using secondary wave components is more insensitive to attenuation effect than the method using harmonic compnents. We obtain the same result in the nonlinear tomography, and show that the attenuation compensive filter is required because the whole tomogram is affected by frequency dependent attenuation(or nonlinear attenuation)

Problems involved in the numerical analysis on the forced oscillation of nonlinear oscillators such a microbubble oscillation under ultrasound and Duffing oscillator were discussed. One of the problems is proper choice of the time scale of the driving force. which is related to the numerical artifacts due to the mismatch between the natural frequency of an oscillator(or bubble) and the characteristic frequency of the applied force. Such problem may occur in a nonlinear oscillator whose behavior is crucially dependent on the frequency of the applied force. The artificial resonance problem during the numerical evaluation of such nonlinear systems was also discussed.

The laser ultrasonic technique is gaining popularity for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications because it is a noncontact and couplant-free method and can inspect a target from a remote distance. For the conventional laser ultrasonic techniques, a pulsed laser is often used to generate broadband ultrasonic waves in a target structure. However, for crack detection using nonlinear ultrasonic modulation, it is necessary to generate narrowband ultrasonic waves. In this study, a pulsed laser is shaped into dual-line arrays using a spatial mask and used to simultaneously excite narrowband ultrasonic waves in the target structure at two distinct frequencies. Nonlinear ultrasonic modulation will occur between the two input frequencies when they encounter a fatigue crack existing in the target structure. Then, a nonlinear damage index (DI) is defined as a function of the magnitude of the modulation components and computed over the target structure by taking advantage of laser scanning. Finally, the fatigue crack is detected and localized by visualizing the nonlinear DI over the target structure. Numerical simulations and experimental tests are performed to examine the possibility of generating narrowband ultrasonic waves using the spatial mask. The performance of the proposed fatigue crack localization technique is validated by conducting an experiment with aluminum plates containing real fatigue cracks.

This paper proposes an ultrasonic method for measurement of linear and hysteretic interfacial stiffness of contacting surfaces between two steel plates subjected to nominal compression pressure. Interfacial stiffness was evaluated by the reflection and transmission coefficients obtained from three consecutive reflection waves from solid-solid surface using the shear wave. A nonlinear hysteretic spring model was proposed and used to define the quantitative interfacial stiffness of interface with the reflection and transmission coefficients. Acoustic model for 1-D wave propagation across interfaces is developed to formulate the reflection and transmission waves and to determine the linear and nonlinear hysteretic interfacial stiffness. Two identical plates are put together to form a contacting surface and pressed by bolt-fastening to measure interfacial stiffness at different states of contact pressure. It is found from experiment that the linear and hysteretic interfacial stiffness are successfully determined by the reflection and transmission coefficient at the contact surfaces through ultrasonic pulse-echo measurement.

Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) or Acoustic Micro Imaging (AMI) is a powerful, non-destructive technique that can detect hidden defects in elastic and biological samples as well as non-transparent hard materials. By monitoring the internal features of a sample in three-dimensional integration, this technique can efficiently find physical defects such as cracks, voids, and delamination with high sensitivity. In recent years, advanced techniques such as ultrasound impedance microscopy, ultrasound speed microscopy, and scanning acoustic gigahertz microscopy have been developed for applications in industries and in the medical field to provide additional information on the internal stress, viscoelastic, and anisotropic, or nonlinear properties. X-ray, magnetic resonance, and infrared techniques are the other competitive and widely used methods. However, they have their own advantages and limitations owing to their inherent properties such as different light sources and sensors. This paper provides an overview of the principle of SAM and presents a few results to demonstrate the applications of modern acoustic imaging technology. A variety of inspection modes, such as vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cross-sections have been presented by employing the focus pathway and image reconstruction algorithm. Images have been reconstructed from the reflected echoes resulting from the change in the acoustic impedance at the interface of the material layers or defects. The results described in this paper indicate that the novel acoustic technology can expand the scope of SAM as a versatile diagnostic tool requiring less time and having a high efficiency.

초음파 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$는 재료의 미세한 변질을 평가하는데 효과적인 인자로 알려져있다. 그런데 지금까지 대부분의 연구는 접촉식 방법을 이용하여 측정하는 연구가 수행되어왔다. 그러나, 접촉식 방법은 탐촉자와 시편사이의 접촉상태가 측정결과에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 측정의 재현성을 보장하기 위해 탐촉자의 접촉상태를 일정하게 유지시키기 위한 부수적인 장치가 필요하다. 이러한 불편함을 해소할 목적으로 본 연구에서는 비접촉식 기법을 도입하였다. 다만 초음파의 송신은 접촉식으로 하고 수신만 비접촉식을 적용함으로써 동일한 조건에서 접촉식으로 수신한 경우와 비접촉식으로 수신한 경우를 비교하고자 하였다. 시편은 시효 처리된 알루미늄 합금을 사용하였고, 두 방식의 측정결과 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$의 변화는 유사하게 나타났다. 이로부터 초음파 비선형 특성의 변화를 비접촉식 수신방법으로 용이하게 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

초음파를 사용해 음속도, 감쇠 계수, 밀도, 비선형 B/A 파라미터 등을 측정하여 인체 조직의 특성을 정량적으로 영상화하고자 하는 연구가 1980년대부터 많이 진행되어 왔으나 아직 상용화 단계에는 도달하지 못했다. 하지만 1990년대 초에 시작된 탄성 영상법은 최근 들어 초음파 진단기에 상용화되어 임상에서 B-모드 영상법과 함께 전립선, 유방, 갑상선, 간, 혈관 등을 진단하기 위한 보완적이며 더 정량적인 모드로 사용되고 있는 단계에 진입하였다. 본고에서는 주로 준정적 또는 정적탄성 영상법에 사용되는 여러 가지 알고리듬을 소개하고 특성을 비교하고자 한다. 대부분의 알고리듬은 상호상관함수 또는 자기상관함수 방법에 그 기반을 두고 있으며 전자는 래그를 변화시켜가면서 시간 이동량을 찾지만 후자는 보간 과정 없이 고정된 래그에서의 위상차로부터 시간 이동량을 바로 구해 변위를 추정하는 점이다.
