The application and development of on-line monitoring technology of AE to surveillance of crack propagation will contribute to the structural integrity of reactor pressure vessel and piping system. This research has been performed in order to obtain the evaluation technology for source location of AE and the analysis for the AE signal of the welded specimen. AE is detected by 4-channels AE system during pressurization in small pressure vessels. The cracking of artificial defects can be accurately located and categorized in real time. The welded specimens have more events rate and higher amplitude than the weldless less specimens, and the events rate have a peak around the yield point and just before the failure under tensile test.

This paper describes a new technique for thickness measurement of a very thin layer less than one-quarter of the wavelength of ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic pulse-echo measurements. The technique determines the thickness of a thin layer in a tapered medium from constructive interference of multiple reflection waves. The interference characteristics are derived and investigated in theoretical and experimental approaches. Modified total reflection wave g(t) defined as difference between total and first reflection waves increases in amplitude as the interfacial layer thickness decreases down to zero. A layer thickness less than one-tenth of the ultrasonic wavelength is measured using the maximum amplitude of g(t) with a good accuracy and sensitivity. The method also requires no inversion process to extract the thickness information from the waveforms of reflected waves, so that it makes possible to have the on-line thickness measurement of a thin layer such as a lubricating oil film in thrust bearings and journal bearings during manufacturing process.

In this study, a noncontact laser ultrasonic system is proposed for rail defect detection. An Nd-Yag pulse laser is used for generation of ultrasonic waves, and the corresponding ultrasonic responses are measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer. For the detection of rail surface damages, the shape of the excitation laser beam is transformed into a line. On the other hand, a point source laser beam is used for the inspection of defects inside a rail head. Then, the interactions of propagating ultrasonic waves with defects are examined using actual rail specimens. Amplitude attenuation was mainly observed for a surface crack, and reflections were most noticeable from an internal damage. Finally, opportunities and challenges associated with real-time rail inspection from a high-speed train are discussed.

This paper presents an accelerated life test of aviation taxiway lights installed in the airport to help safe navigation of airplanes at night or in bad weather. Recently halogen lamps of taxiway lights are replaced by LED ones and their reliability needs yet to be verified. Thus, effective test conditions are designed reflecting the failure modes and mechanisms from the previous studies on LED, which include the accelerated degradation process. The test is performed under the temperature $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ for two types of LED lights, taxiway center line lights(TCLL) and taxiway edge lights (TEDL). The failure time data were analyzed using lognormal distribution and Arrhenius model to find the life-stress relationship, acceleration factor and life characteristics under the normal condition temperature $30^{\circ}C$.

In the operation of large capacity hydro generators, it's a very important thing that to minimize several kind of electrical trouble and accident. In order to overcome these problems, the on-line and off-line partial discharge (PD) measuring method has become an important one. Nowadays, epoxy mica coupler(EMC) has been the most widely used sensors for on-line PD detection in rotating machines. This time, we have made a ceramic coupling sensor using $SrTiO_{3}$, because at present, most of sensors has high cost and difficult procedure to making. This paper deals with the electrical characteristics of a ceramic coupling sensor, which has been made to continuously measure PD activity during the operation condition for 13kV class hydro generator. And we have performed the evaluation of sensor life and reliability based on the characteristic testing. The experimental results confirm that the sensor has satisfied at electrical required performance and output characteristic for simulated input signal.

A popular method used by primary protection for power transformer is current ratio differential relaying (RDR) with 2nd harmonic restraints. In modern power transformer due to the use of low-loss amorphous material, the 2nd harmonic component during inrush is significantly reduced. The higher the capacitance of the high voltage status and underground distribution, the more the differential current includes the 2nd harmonic component during internal fault. Thus the conventional method may not operate properly. This paper proposes an advanced relaying algorithm and the prototype IED hardware design and it's real-time experimental results. To evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm, the study is well constructed power system model including power transformer utilizing the EMTP software and the testing is made through simulation of various cases. The proposed relaying that is well constructed using DSP chip and microprocessor etc. has been developed and the prototype IED has been verified through on-line testing. The results show that an advanced relaying based prototype IED never mis-operated and correctly identified all the faults and that inrushes that are applied.

공업계 고등학교의 금속재료 교과목 중에 재료시험법은 과학기술이 급격히 발전하는 것에 비해 교육수준이 시대에 뒤떨어지고 있다. 특히 기존의 파단면 해석방법보다 훨씬 진일보된 장비와 기술력으로 해석이 가능한 Fractography기법 도입의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 이런 Fractography의 중요성과 해석방법을 중수로 압력관 재료를 이용하여 파단면의 특성을 정성적으로 해석을 통하여 입증하였다. 추후 공업계 고등학생들의 전문성을 늘이고, 자긍심을 함양하기 위해서 이런 최신 교과내용을 포함해야 할 것이다. 이런 교과내용을 현존하는 과학기술과 맞추는 작업은 주무행정기관에 의해 이루어지기 전에 일선 교사들의 자발적인 참여에 의해 수행될 필요성이 있다고 생각된다.

사질토에서의 한계상태정수 결정시 근본적인 물리적 과정들과 고유적 인 한계성들을 파악하기 위하여 일련의 표준삼축시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과에 의하면, 주어진 흙에 대하여 한계상태마찰각은 배수조건에 상관없이 일정한 반면에, e-log p＇공간상에서의 한계상태선은 주로 표준삼축시험에서 충분치 못하게 도달하는 변형률과 비배수시험에서의 변형률 국지화효과 때문에 배수조건에 따라 다른 결과를 보였다. 실내시험을 통하여 한계상태정수를 산정하는 최선의 방법은 균일하고 느슨하게 성형된 시료를 배수조건하에서 전단하는 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 배수시험에서 다일러턴 시효과나 변형률 국지화효과를 피할 수 있는 시험을 계획하기 위한 참고상태정수를 제시하였다.

소프트웨어를 블랙박스 테스트 하려면 대상 소프트웨어에 적절한 데이터를 주어 실행해 보아야 한다. 효과적인 테스트가 되기 위해서 테스트 케이스의 선택뿐만 아니라 테스트 케이스가 어떻게 표현되었는가가 중요하다. 또한 정적인 테스트 작업에도 테스트를 위한 체크리스트가 어떻게 작성되었는지에 따라 테스트 작업의 효율성이 좌우된다. 이 논문에서는 비효율적이며 문제가 있는 테스트 케이스와 체크 리스트들을 리엔지니어링 하는 방법을 제시하고 이를 실험 하였다. 임베디드 시스템의 일종인 디지털 방송수신 장치에 탑재된 소프트웨어를 대상으로 하여 이미 사용 중인 테스트 케이스의 효율성과 적합성을 따져보고 이를 리엔지니어링 하였다. 리엔지니어링 한 후의 테스트 케이스의 산출물이 테스트 시간과 커버리지 측면에서 얼마나 효과적인지를 살펴보았다. 또한 제품 계열 개념의 소프트웨어를 테스트하기에 적합하도록 테스트 케이스를 재사용 또는 재구조화 하는 방법도 연구하였다.

With the rapid development of information technology, people's demands on precise indoor positioning are increasing. Wireless sensor network, as the most commonly used indoor positioning sensor, performs a vital part for precise indoor positioning. However, in indoor positioning, obstacles and other uncontrollable factors make the localization precision not very accurate. Ultra-wide band (UWB) can achieve high precision centimeter-level positioning capability. Inertial navigation system (INS), which is a totally independent system of guidance, has high positioning accuracy. The combination of UWB and INS can not only decrease the impact of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) on localization, but also solve the accumulated error problem of inertial navigation system. In the paper, a fused UWB and INS positioning method is presented. The UWB data is firstly clustered using the Fuzzy C-means (FCM). And the Z hypothesis testing is proposed to determine whether there is a NLOS distance on a link where a beacon node is located. If there is, then the beacon node is removed, and conversely used to localize the mobile node using Least Squares localization. When the number of remaining beacon nodes is less than three, a robust extended Kalman filter with M-estimation would be utilized for localizing mobile nodes. The UWB is merged with the INS data by using the extended Kalman filter to acquire the final location estimate. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the proposed method has superior localization precision in comparison with the current algorithms.
