Ultrasonic inspection of heavy walled cast austenitic stainless steel(CASS)welds is very difficult due to complex and coarse grained structure of CASS material. The large size of anisotropic grain strongly affects the propagation of ultrasound by severe attenuation, change in velocity, and scattering of ultrasonic energy. therefore, the signal patterns originated from flaws can be difficult to distinguish from scattered signals. To improve detection and sizing capability of ID connected defect for heavy walled CASS piping welds, the low frequency segmented TRL Pulse Echo and Phased Array probe has been developed. The experimental studies have been performed using CASS pipe mock-up block containing artificial reflectors(ID connected EDM notch). The automatic pulse echo and phase array technique is applied the detection and the length sizing of the ID connected artificial reflectors and the results for detection and sizing has been compared respectively. The goal of this study is to assess a newly developed ultrasonic probe to improve the detection ability and the sizing of the crack in coarse-grained CASS components.

In order to investigate the relation between wall vorticity and streamwise velocity fluctuations in a turbulent boundary layer, a wall vorticity probe has been developed, which consists of two hot-wires on the wall aligned in V configuration. Although the measured intensity of spanwise wall vorticity fluctuations is somewhat lower than previous results, the intensity of streamwise wall vorticity fluctuations is in good agreement with them. It has been shown that the measured intensity of spanwise wall vorticity fluctuations is affected by transverse length of the wall vorticity probe. Instantaneous streamwise and spanwise wall vorticity fluctuations are compared with the results of DNS. Probability density function of spanwise wall vorticity fluctuations shows good agreement with previous results and is different from that of streamwise wall vorticity fluctuations. Energy spectrum of streamwisw wall vorticity fluctuations is lower than that of spanwise wall vorticity fluctuations in low frequency region.

Although the cut-off probe, a precise measurement method for the electron density, is widely used in the industry, the physics on the wave spectrum of the cut-off is not understood yet, only cut-off point frequency containing the information of electron density has been analyzed well. This paper analyzes the microwave frequency spectrum of the cut-off probe to see the physics behind using both microwave field simulation (CST Microwave Studio) and simplified circuit simulation. The result shows that the circuit model well reproduces the cut-off wave spectrum especially in the low frequency regime where the wavelength of the driving frequency is larger than the characteristic length and reveals the physics of transmission characteristics with frequency as resonances between vacuum, plasma and sheath. Furthermore, by controlling the time domain in solver of the microwave simulator, the cut-off like transmission peaks above the cut-off frequency which has been believed as cavity effect is verified as chamber geometry effect. The result of this paper can be used as the basis for the improvement of cut-off probe.

Submarine pressure hulls must withstand high hydraulic pressure and be free of defects. To improve the precision of defect detection, we herein examined different probes for optimal defect assessment by applying the Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) method. Two sets of probe design parameters were selected by considering pressure hull characteristics and analyzed through modeling. PAUT probes were applied, and defect assessment results were compared based on ultrasonic signals of various simulated defects in specimens designed to be the same as actual pressure hulls. The final selected design parameters for the submarine probe, which were designed to minimize the grating lobe of wave interference effect and improve the ultrasonic resolution of pressure hull welds, were identified through the experiment. The improvement in the probe's ability to detect defects in a pressure hull was verified. Furthermore, the accuracy of defect length measurement was improved, enhancing the applicability of the technique.

In this paper, we present the combined 2-D and 3-D algorithms for automatic solder paste inspection. For automatic inspection, optical system for the combined inspection and driving unit is made. One-pass run length algorithm that has fast and efficient memory space is applied to the input image fur extracting solder paste patterns. The path of probe movement is then calculated for an automatic inspection. For a fast 3-D inspection, the phase shift algorithm based on Moire interferometry is also used. In addition, algorithms used in this paper are coded by $MMX^{TM}$. A probe system is manufactured to simultaneously inspect 2-D and 3-D for 10mm$\times$10mm field of view, with resolutions of 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$for both x, y axis and 17 $\mu\textrm{m}$for z axis, and then, experiments on several PCBs are conducted. The processing times of 2-D and 3-D, excluding an image capturing, is 0.039 sec and 0.047 sec, respectively. The credible result with $\pm$ 1$\mu\textrm{m}$uncertainty can be also achieved.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of scintillator and collimator parameters that tradeoff between system sensitivity and spatial resolution. The parameters simulated using Monte Carlo program were scintillator thickness, colimator hole shape, septal thickness, and hole length. The results show that the sensitivity increases exponentially upto about 1 cm of scintillator thickness as the thickness increases. However the sensitivity is almost constant when the scintiallator is thicker than about 1 cm. The simulation of collimator hole shape shows that the hexagonal hole gives the best spatial resolution for the same system sensitivity. The system statical resolution is improved, as both collimator septal thickness and hole length increase, however that system sensitivity is rapidly decreased. In conclusion, The optimization of scintillator and collimator parameters using monte carlo simulation may be useful to develop a high-resolution miniature gamma probe.

Common-path interferometers are widely used for endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) because an arbitrary arm length can be chosen for the endoscopic imaging probe. However, the scheme suffers from the limited range of the sample position distance from the end of the imaging probe because the position between the reference reflector and the sample is limited by the optical path-length difference (OPD) to induce an interference signal. In this study, we developed a novel method for compensating the arbitrary sample position in common-path swept-source OCT by adding an extra Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the post-path of the interfered optical signal. Theoretical analysis and an experimental demonstration of imaging depth tuning for the flexible sample position of an endoscopic OCT image are discussed. After post-tuning of sample position distance, the positioning limitation between the reference reflector and the sample can be solved for various sample positions over a range of 26 mm for the cross-sectional images of a fish eye sample.

(Sr1-xCax)CuO2 단결정을 융제법으로 제조하고 단결정 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 그 결정구조를 밝혔다. 이 화합물의 결정축계는 사방정계(orthorhombic system)이며, 공간군은 Cmcm(63), 그리고 격자상수 a, b, c는 각각 3.4645Å, 16.1417Å, 3.8727Å이었다. (Sr1-xCax)CuO2 화합물에서 Sr대신 치환되는 Ca이온의 한계를 구조적인 관점에서 연구하였다. 이를 위해 X-선 회절(CAD4), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDAX) and electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) 등을 사용하였다. Ca가 치환됨에 따른 Cu-O 결합길이의 변화로부터 Ca의 치환한계를 결정하였는데 그 한계치는 Xca≒0.73이었다.

일반적으로 위상배열 초음파검사 기법을 이용한 배관 용접부검사에서는 높은 검사 각도를 효과적으로 발생하기 위하여 ��지를 사용하게 된다. 그러나 용접부 또는 접근이 제한된 부위에 대한 검사는 위상 배열 초음파 탐촉자에 ��지를 부착하게 되면 ��지의 전단 길이로 인하여 검사체적을 포함하지 못하는 등의 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 ��지를 사용하지 않고 높은 검사 각도를 발생할 수 있는 횡파 위상배열 초음파 탐촉자를 적용해야 할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 굴절각도가 높은 횡파를 발생할 수 있는 위상배열 초음파 탐촉자를 설계하고 제작하여 다양한 깊이의 EDM 노치가 가공된 시험편에서 결함이 정확하게 검출되고 평가될 수 있는 지를 확인하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 설계된 횡파 위상배열 초음파 탐촉자는 다양한 깊이의 결함을 검출하고 신뢰성 있는 정밀도를 나타내었으므로 향후 접근제한이 예상되는 발전설비 구조물의 검사에 적용된다면 효과적인 검사 결과를 보여줄 것으로 기대된다.
