Recently, interests for maintenance of transmission tower are increasing to extend life of structures and reduce maintenance cost. However, existing classical diagnosis method of corrosion deteriorated degree on the transmission tower steel members, visual inspection, has a problem that error often due to difference of inspector's individual knowledge and experience. In order to solve the problem, this study carried out to develop the corrosion deterioration inspection tool for transmission tower steel members. This tool is composed of camera equipment and computer-aided diagnosis system. We standardized the photographing method by camera equipment to obtain suitable pictures for image processing. Diagnosis system was designed to evaluate automatically degree of corrosion deterioration for member of transmission tower on the basis of the RGB color image processing techniques. It is anticipated that developed the corrosion deterioration inspection tool will be very helpful in decision of optimal maintenance time for transmission tower corrosion.

This paper discusses the feasibility of Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation (UNDE) technique for sport weld quality. Ultrasonic c-scan image assisted by image processing technique was used for Nondestructive Evaluation(NDE) of spot weld quality. Ultrasonic testing results obtained were confirmed and compared by Optical Microscope and SAM(Scanning Acoustic Mircroscope) observation of the spot-weld cross section, The results show that the nugget dinameter can be successfully measured with the accuracy of 0.5mm. It was ascertained that ultrasonic c-scan technique is very effective method for the sake of the approach to the quantitative measurement of nugget diameter and the discrimination of the corona bond from nugget. Additional support for the above conclusions is provided by the results for galvanized steel. The ultrasonic results for galvanized welds generally correspond to the results for uncoated steel. Finally, it was found that the above-mentioned technique can be sufficiently applied to NDE method for securing the Quality Assurance(QA) of spot welded products in production line.

In this paper, we have verified the applicability of the line-clustering segmentation method to steel-tube X-ray images. Image data is partitioned into three regions on the base of vertical line edge detection. Parameters for necessary condition, such as neighborlity, similarity and directional neighbor correlation coefficients, proposed in that method is calculated and applied to such selected regions separately Segmental features at each region is extracted statistically and functional classification is clustered by the point or space process. The analyzed data and experimental results show that the line-clustering segmentation method has a high applicability to X-ray image.

본 연구에서는 강판 손상 진단을 위하여 누설자속 기법을 적용하고, 신호 기반으로 신호의 이미지화 기법에 대해 연구를 실시하였다. 누설자속 신호의 이미지화를 위해 다른 두께를 가지는 강판시편을 준비하였고, 각 시편에 똑같은 위치에 6가지 깊이의 손상을 인공적으로 가공하였다. 홀센서와 Yoke를 이용한 센서헤드를 제작하여 강판시편을 자화시킴과 동시에 누설자속 신호를 계측하였다. 센서로부터 수집된 자속신호의 노이즈 제거 및 이미지 해상도를 높이기 위하여 여러 신호처리 과정을 거쳤으며, 각 손상부로부터 계측된 누설자속 신호의 분석을 위해 각 채널별로 P-P value를 분석하였다. 위의 신호처리 및 분석을 바탕으로 누설자속 신호를 이미지로 변환시켰다. 이를 통해 누설자속 신호 기반 강판 손상의 이미지화로 손상을 한눈에 파악하는 것이 가능하였다.

An experimental evaluation of crack propagation and post-cracking behavior in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams, using full-field displacements obtained from the digital image correlation technique is presented. Surface displacements and strains during the fracture test of notched SFRC beams with volume fractions ($V_f$) of steel fibers equal to 0.5 and 0.75% are analyzed. An analysis procedure for determining the crack opening width over the depth of the beam during crack propagation in the flexure test is presented. The crack opening width is established as a function of the crack tip opening displacement and the residual flexural strength of SFRC beams. The softening in the post-peak load response is associated with the rapid surface crack propagation for small increases in crack tip opening displacement. The load recovery in the flexural response of SFRC is associated with a hinge-type behavior in the beam. For the stress gradient produced by flexure, the hinge is established before load recovery is initiated. The resistance provided by the fibers to the opening of the hinge produces the load recovery in the flexural response.

The examination needle used in ultrasound biopsy is a medical device used to determine whether there is an abnormality in the tissue. Typically, stainless steel is the standard material used for such needles; however, this study wanted to identify a material that could better enhance sound compared to traditional stainless steel. In this study, six types of needle materials available with the biopsy gun were inserted into pork and ultrasound images according to the curved probe and linear probe were evaluated using ultrasound equipment. The findings revealed significant improvements in ultrasound acoustic enhancement with alternative materials compared to stainless steel (p<0.05). The results regarding the depth of each ultrasound image using the curved probe showed that tungsten and brass had high sound enhancement(p<0.05), while with the linear probe, sound enhancement was high in brass, pla, aluminum, and copper(p<0.05). Due to these results, the previously used stainless needle showed lower ultrasound acoustic enhancement than the five types of materials being compared. Consequently, the outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for the development of new needle technologies aimed at minimizing patient risks and improving diagnostic accuracy.

Stainless steel and titanium used for orthopedic prosthetic metal, magnetic resonance imaging was measured quantitatively the extent of distortion. Based on reading tests at varying metal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were investigated. To two image acquisition conditions for having three metal bodies mutually quantitative it compared analyzed the image of cross direction and the image of lengthwise. As for the distortion of the magnetic resonance image, as for the distortion of image it became small in the order of Clip, Strainless and Titanium. In addition, with T1WI and T2WI which are image acquisition condition T2WI the distortion of image became small. As for the distortion of the image by the metal, you could see the distortion of image in elliptical shape, the metal a bigger image distortion appeared in many parts. If clinical doctor has the condition of the same operation, use the Titanium material, it can, raising the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance image inspection after the operating from Stainless.

피로균열 성장거동 관찰을 위한 새로운 실험 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 이러한 요구를 만족시키기 위해서 본 연구에서는 영상처리기법을 피로시험에 도입하였으며, 영상처리시스템을 이용하여 표면피로균열길이를 측정하였다. 먼저 주기적으로 시험하중을 멈추는 동안 균열영상 데이터를 컴퓨터에 저장시켰다. 시험이 끝난 후에는 본 연구진에서 개발한 영상처리 소프트웨어를 사용하여 균열길이를 측정하였으며, 이를 위하여 블록매칭방법을 포함한 다양한 영상처리 기법을 적용하였다. 영상처리시스템으로 측정한 데이터와 현미경을 이용하여 수동으로 측정한 데이터를 비교하여 영상처리시스템의 유효성을 검증하였다. 만약 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 균열성장거동을 자동적으로 관찰하거나 모니터 하는데 사용한다면 피로시험에 소요되는 시간과 노동력을 현격히 줄일 수 있다.

The skinpassing conditions such as roll type, roll force and roll roughness of the work roll were evaluated to give the surface properties of the galvanized steel sheets that were required for automotive and to get rid of the surface defects that caused with the bad control of galvanized coating process parameters. The surface defects of the galvanized steel sheets such as the ripple mark and the scratch were completely removed as the roll force of SPM work roll was increased and the amount of the transfer of roll surface texture to the strip was also gained a lot. The image clarity of electro discharge textured (EDT) coated steel sheets before and after painting was higher than that of the bright (BRT) and shot blasted (SBT) coated steel sheets because of higher PPI value, lower waviness and uniform surface pattern. Since micro-craters transferred on the surface of the galvanized steel sheets played a role of nucleation sites of chromate reaction, Increase of micro-craters was bring to better corrosion resistance with the increase of the roll force and the use of EDT roll at the skin pass mill.
