이식형 인공중이용 트랜스듀서는 주파수 특성 및 구동 성능이 우수해야 하고 크기가 작아야 한다. 이러한 트랜스듀서로서 단결정 압전 재료인 PMN-PT를 이용한 적층형 액츄에이터를 제안하였고, 유한요소해석 및 제작실험을 통해 그 타당성을 밝혔다. 실험에서는 두께 $0.2{\cal}mm$를 갖는 시편을 14층으로 쌓아 최종적으로 $1{\cal}mm{\times}1{\cal}mm{\times}2.8{\cal}mm$ 크기의 PMN-PT 적층형 액츄에이터를 제작하였다. 제작된 PMN-PT 액츄에이터의 성능은 Impedance Spectrum과 구동변위 측정을 통해 PZT 액츄에이터와 비교, 평가하였고, 이를 통해 단결정 재료인 PMN-PT를 이용할 경우 우수한 성능의 인공중이용 액츄에이터 제작이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Lead-free ferroelectric ceramics are widely researched today for industrial applications as sensors, actuators and transducers. Since $Pb(Zr_aTi_{1-a})O_3$-(PZT) has high Curie temperature($T_C$), high piezoelectric properties near its morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) composition and small temperature dependence electrical behavior, it has been used to commercial materials for wide temperature range and different application fields. According to the tolerance factor concept, since the $Bi^{3+}$ cation with 12-fold coordinate has a smaller ionic radius than 12-fold coordinate $Pb^{2+}$, most bismuth based perovskites possess a smaller tolerance factor. Therefore, MPBs with a higher $T_C$ may be expected in $Bi(Me^{3+})O_3PbTiO_3$ solid solutions. As in lead based perovskite systems, it is clear that we need to explore more materials in simple or complex bismuth based MPB systems. The objective of this study is to investigate the $Bi(Ni_{1_a}X_a)O_3-PbTiO_3(X=Ti^{4+},\;Nb^{5+})$ perovskite solid-solution. For improving the electronic conduction problem, the magnesium and manganese modified system was also studied.

A State-of-art methodologies on implementing conventional piezoelectric and flexible PVDF elements for generating ultrasonic guided waves in a tubing are presented. Comb transducers with PVDF can be efficiently applied to selectively excite a guided wave mode by wrapping around any size pipe while a conventional immersion type piezo-elements can be also possibly used with a modification of transducer fabrication. Technical comparisons between the use of angle beam probe and comb one will be also discussed in detail. The presented technique can be easily applied to NDE for a long range inspection of tubular structures.

Magnetostrictive materials are used low frequency sonar transmitter instead of piezoelectric materials. But it is difficult to analyze due to the nonlinearity and hysteresis of magnetostrictive materials. This paper deals with the program development for the finite element modeling of magnetostrictive tonpilz transducers and for analyzing their acoustic characteristics. To take into account the nonlinearity of magnetostrictive materials, the magnetic field calculation is separated form the displacement calculation, and a curve fitting is adopted for the nonlinear behavior of the magnetic and mechanical strain fields. At first, the magnetic field is obtained by using a commercial FEM software and the displacement of the transducer is calculated by plugging the obtained magnetic field into forcing term. To verity the accuracy of the developed program, a comparison is made with a commercial code, ATILA.

The model cavity scramjet engine experiments are carried out using T3 free-piston shock tunnel. Upstream hydrogen fuel is injected before the cavity with different injection pressure. OH planar laser-induced fluorescence is used to investigate the combustion zone and piezoelectric pressure transducers are used to define the pressure rise due to the combustion. Main combustion region is a mixing layer which is between air and fuel. Also high OH fluorescence signal is appeared in the shear layer above the cavity in high equivalence ratio. From the OH signal in the cavity, this fuel injection system can be a role as a flame-holder.

Transducer for linear ultrasonic motor with symmetric and anil anti-symmetric modes was studied. The transducer was composed of two Langevin-type vibrators that cross at right angles with each other at tip. In order to excite two vibration modes, two Langevin-type vibrators must have 90-degree phase difference with each other. As a result, tip of transducers moves in elliptical motion. Elliptical trajectoric of transducer was analyzed by employing the finite element method. From these results, the ultrasonic motor was fabricated and was measured for characteristics. In this paper compared an ANSYS analysis with an experiment results. The no-road maximum speed was 113.1[cm/s].

This paper presents a multi helical ultrasonic imaging approach for quantitative corrosion damage monitoring of cylindrical structures. The approach consists of two stages. First a multi helical ultrasonic imaging (MHUI) algorithm is used to provide qualitative images of the structure of interest. Then, an optimization problem is solved in order to obtain quantitative damage information, such as thickness map. Experimental tests are carried out on a steel pipe instrumented with six piezoelectric transducers to validate the proposed approach. Three thickness recesses are considered to simulate corrosion damage. The results show the efficiency of the proposed approach for quantifying corrosion location, area and remnant thickness.

Real-time near and far-field monitoring of concrete structural components gives enough information on the time and condition at which damage occurs, thereby facilitating damage detection while in the same time evaluate the cause of the damage. This paper experimentally investigates an integrated monitoring technique for near and far-field damage detection in concrete structures based on simultaneous use of electromechanical admittance technique in combination with guided wave propagation. The proposed sensing system does not measure the electromechanical admittance itself but detect time variations in output voltages of the response signal obtained across the electrodes of piezoelectric transducers bonded on surfaces of concrete structures. The damage identification is based on the spectral estimation MUSIC algorithm. Experimental results show the efficiency and performance of the proposed measuring technique.

본 연구에서는 공중용 초음파 센서에 많이 사용되고 있는 원판형 압전소자, 정합층, 그리고 후면충, 세 부분으로 이루어진 다층 접합체의 진동 특성을 기계적 진동 방정식을 이용하여 이론적으로 해석하였으며, 해석결과의 타당성을 유한요소 해석방법을 사용하여 검증하였다. 본 연구의 해석 방법은 다층 판, 특히 압전세라믹과 정합층으로 이루어진 2층과 후면층이 추가된 3층에 대한 진동 방정식에 적절한 경계 조건 및 수렴조건을 적용하여 고유진동 주파수를 유도하였다. 그리고 이를 이용하여 초음파 탐측자 개발 시 널리 사용되고 있는 설계변수 즉, 각 층의 반경, 두께, 밀도, 그리고 영률의 변화에 대한 공진주파수의 변화 경향을 분석하였다. 공진주파수 변화 경향에 대한 이 해석 방법의 타당성을 널리 사용되고 있는 유한 요소해석법을 사용하여 검증한 결과, 두 해석결과는 좋은 일치를 보였다. 그러므로 본 연구의 결과는 종래의 등가회로나 유한요소 해석법에 비해 더 간편하고, 더 정확한 해석결과를 제공할 수 있는 해석도구로써 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Ultrasonic cleaning at high frequency around 1 MHz, called megasonic cleaning, is commonly used to remove particles less than 1 ㎛ by generating high frequency accelerations on the cleaning objects. Cleaning is performed in an ultrasonically-excited liquid contained in a double-structured container. Ultrasonic waves generated by piezoelectric transducers propagate in the outer container and are transmitted through the inner container. The bottom of the inner container is inclined to make oblique incidence of the ultrasonic wave in order to raise the efficiency of the transmission through the bottom plate. This work deals with the efficiency of the transmission, which directly affects the cleaning performance. The transmission characteristics of the ultrasonic wave in the megasonic cleaner have been obtained analytically and numerically for the variations of some parameters, such as the thickness and inclined angle of the bottom plate of the inner container and the chemical ratio and temperature of the cleaning liquid. The calculated results have yielded the optimum cleaning condition in terms of the sound power transmitted into the cleaning liquid.
