The experimental testing results of the large-scale version of a forward-looking ultrasound imaging catheter(FLUIC) are presented, along with the fabrication techniques used, experimental methods, and comparisons of the measured and simulated results. The transducer model is verified by measuring the electrical impedance of the transducer. The pulse width, beamwidth, and the dynamic range for both transmit and pulse-echo response of the fabricated FLUIC are also analyzed. The experimental results conformed its forward-looking imaging capability and the sources of discrepancies between the simulated and experimental beam profiles are addressed.

The head penetrations for control rod drive mechanism and instrumentation systems are installed at the reactor pressure vessel head of PWRs. Primary coolant water and the operating conditions of PWR plants can cause cracking of these nickel-based alloy through a process called primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). Inspection of the head penetrations to ensure the integrity of the head penetrations has been interested since reactor coolant leakages were found at U. S. reactors in 2000 and 2001. The complex geometry of the head penetrations and the very low echo amplitude from the fine, multiple flaws due to the nature of the see made it difficult to detect and size the flaws using conventional pulse-echo UT methods. Time-of-flight-diffraction technique, which utilizes the time difference between the flaw tips while pulse-echo does the flaw response amplitude from the flaw, has been selected for this inspection for it's best performance of the detection and sizing of the head penetration see flaws. This study defines the limits of the detectable and accurately sizable minimum flaw size which can be detected by the General TOFD and the Delta TOFD techniques for circumferentially and axially oriented flaws respectively. These results assures the reliability of the inspection techniques to detect and accurately size for various kind of flaws, and will also be utilized for the future development and qualifications of the TOFD techniques to enhance the detecting sensitivity and sizing accuracy of the flaws of the reactor head penetrations in nuclear power plants.

In this study, 1-3 type composite specimens were fabricated with PZT powders prepared by the molten-salt synthesis method and Eccogel polymer matrix. A virtual level-meter was fabricated with a 1-3 type composite probe and electronic unit for underwater application. There was no difference in values between a virtual and measured level on its level meter.

본 연구는 다중 접착계면에서의 초음파 전달 현상을 시스템 응답함수의 일반식을 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 추진기관의 모의결함시편을 제작하여 모델링의 결과를 검증하였다. 실험 결과 추진제-라이너 미접착 결함을 초음파 펄스 반사법으로 검출할 수 있었으며, 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정된 초음파 파형이 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the ultrasonic transducer was fabricated with piezoceramic-polymer 1-3 type composites. Pulse-echo response of that transducer in water was investigated with variable water-level. Output of LED was under the control of the signal, which was analyzerd by the self-made Electric Unit. This paper represents automatically water-detecting system with variable water level. There was in good agreement water level between the virtual level and output signal by using the self-made water-detecting system.

A two-dimensional boundary element method was used for the scattering analysis of side-drilled hole(SDH). The far-field scattering amplitude was calculated for shear vertical(SV) wave, and their frequency and time-domain results were presented. The time-domain scattering amplitude showed the directly reflected wave from the SDH leading edge as well as the creeping wave. In an immersion, pulse-echo testing, two measurement models were introduced to predict the response from SDHs. The 2-D boundary element scattering amplitude was converted to the 3-D amplitude to be used in the measurement model. The receiver voltage was calculated fer SV wave incidence at 45$^{\circ}C$ on the 1 m diameter SDH, and the result was compared with experiment.

This article describes the design and performance characteristics of a broadband ultrasonic mosaic transducer. We focus on the improved bandwidth in the high frequency band of a previously designed broadband ultrasonic transducer (Lee et al., 2014). The improvement in the pulse-echo bandwidth was achieved by employing twelve $2{\times}2$ element subarrays, operating at different resonance frequencies, and utilizing the mosaic array concept. We found that the -6 dB and -12 dB bandwidths of the newly developed broadband ultrasonic mosaic transducer, were up to 155% and 170% of the previously designed model, with a quality factor of 1.71 and 1.25, respectively. The averaged TVR (transmitting voltage response), SRT (receiving sensitivity), and FOM (figure of merit) values in a nearly flat transmitting response band, from 45 to 105 kHz providing a -12 dB bandwith of 60 kHz, were 163.3 dB (re $1{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m), -192.8 dB (re $1V/{\mu}Pa$), and -30.9 dB, respectively.

압전 세라믹 PZT와 고분자 매질인 에폭시 수지를 사용하여 PZT 체적비가 75%인 1-3 압전복합변환자를 dicing-filling 방법으로 제작하여 임피던스 분석과 펄스 반사법으로 수신된 초음파신호의 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 전기 및 음향 특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 1-3 압전복합변환자의 경진동 모드 및 두께진동 모드의 기본진동수는 각각 0.95MHz와 1.63MHz이었고, 측면진동 모드는 관찰되지 않았다. 두께진동 모드에 대한 전기기계 결합계수는 PZT 단일상(0.52)보다 큰 0.54로 수신효율이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 기계적 품질계수(Q)는 PZT 단일상(80)보다 상당히 작은 1.5이었고, 1-3 압전복합변환자의 축상 분해능이 크게 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, a distance-measurement system was proposed by using principle of the Michelson Interferometer and a fundamental research was carried out. In case of the rnichelson interferometer, relativity distance was measured by relativity-difference of two course of light. But wavelength of light source were changed in this system in order to use interference phenomenon of michelson interferometer in measuring absolutely distance. Wavelength of input signal were changed periodically and were interfered electrically. So absolute distance can be calculated by using $\Delta\lambda$ and measuring $\eta\Delta$ in electric interference. Nose by a external factor was small in this system because a absolutely distance was measured by phase difference. And a dispersion of noise was small in pulse-echo response because a error was occurred in range of phase difference of signal. Also very wide range can be measured by only single system because informations of distance were acquisited in wavelength level.
