Triplex composite is an epoxy-bonded joint structure, which constitutes the secondary barrier in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. Defects in the triplex composite weaken its shear strength and may cause leakage of the LNG, thus compromising the structural integrity of the LNG carrier. This paper proposes an autonomous triplex composite inspection (ATCI) system for visualizing and classifying hidden defects in the triplex composite installed inside an LNG carrier. First, heat energy is generated on the surface of the triplex composite using halogen lamps, and the corresponding heat response is measured by an infrared (IR) camera. Next, the region of interest (ROI) is traced and noise components are removed to minimize false indications of defects. After a defect is identified, it is classified as internal void or uncured adhesive and its size and shape are quantified and visualized, respectively. The proposed ATCI system allows the fully automated and contactless detection, classification, and quantification of hidden defects inside the triplex composite. The effectiveness of the proposed ATCI system is validated using the data obtained from actual triplex composite installed in an LNG carrier membrane system.

내부결함은 주조제품의 강도 및 피로 수명에 있어 상당한 영향을 미치기 때문에 주조공정에서 주요 관심사 이다. 일반적으로 내부결함은 응력집중을 발생시키며 균열의 시작점이 되므로 피로 수명과 같은 기계적 거동에 있어 수축공과 같은 결함을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 내부결함을 고려한 인장시편에 대해 피로시험을 수행하고 주조결함을 고려할 때의 특정하중피로노치 계수를 산정하였다. 실제 내부결함은 산업용 CT 장비를 통해서 확인하였으며 확인된 결함은 형상단순화법에 의해 타원체로 단순화 하고 응력해석과 피로해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 우리가 제안한 방법이 기계적 거동에 있어 내부결함의 영향을 조사하고 피로수명 등을 예측함에 있어 유용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

입주민은 육안으로 구별이 되는 하자를 중심적으로 보며, 건설사는 공동 주택의 구조적, 기능적 문제에 영향이 가는 하자를 중심적으로 본다. 그에 따라, 건설사와 입주민은 공동주택의 하자를 기준으로 서로 다른 관점을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 하자의 관점차이로 인하여 발생하는 공동주택 하자분쟁의 쟁점과 개선 방안을 목표로 진행하였다. 먼저, 국토교통부와 법원의 서로 다른 하자판정기준 및 보수기준을 분석하였다. 과거 청구소송 하자판결 사례분석을 통하여 문제점을 도출 하였으며, 여러 건설사의 하자 데이터를 기반으로 건설사와 입주민의 관점차이를 도출 하였다. 이를 해결하기 위해 공동주택 하자 데이터베이스의 개선방안을 제안하였다.

The structural properties of $SiO_2$ liquid at finite temperatures have been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations utilizing the Tersoff interatomic potential. During cooling process, the $SiO_2$ liquid structure quenched with a cooling rate of $1.0{\times}10^{11}K/sec$ shows the traditional properties observed in the experiments. The coordination defects of system decrease with decreasing temperature up to 17%. The $SiO_2$ glass quenched up to 1600 K contains defects consisting of the fivefold coordination of Si, and the threefold coordination of O atoms. The calculated diffusion coefficients which are calculated by monitoring. the mean-square displacement of atoms drop to almost zero below 3000 K ($<10^{-6}\;cm^2/sec$) but has a fluctuations at low temperature. The structure properties of $SiO_2$ liquid shows a significant dependence on the temperature during cooling process. Bond-angle distribution at around $120^{\circ}$ originate from the O and Si atoms consisting of the over-coordinated O atoms.

Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method has exhibited broad application prospects in the nondestructive detection of interfacial debonding in steel-concrete composite structures (SCCS). However, due to the structural diversity of SCCS and the high stealthiness of interfacial debonding defects, the feasibility of MASW method needs to be investigated in depth. In this study, synthetic parametric study on MASW nondestructive debonding detection for SCCSs is performed. The aim is to quantitatively analyze influential factors with respect to structural composition of SCCS and MASW measurement mode. First, stress wave composition and propagation process in SCCS are studied utilizing 2D numerical simulation. For structural composition in SCCS, the thickness variation of steel plate, concrete core, and debonding defects are discussed. To determine the most appropriate sensor arrangement for MASW measurement, the effects of spacing and number of observation points, along with distances between excitation points, nearest boundary, as well as the first observation point, are analyzed individually. The influence of signal type and frequency of transient excitation on dispersion figures from forwarding analysis is studied to determine the most suitable excitation signal. The findings from this study can provide important theoretical guidance for MASW-based interfacial debonding detection for SCCS. Furthermore, they can be instrumental in optimizing both the sensor layout design and signal choice for experimental validation.

본 논문에서는 비접촉 손상검출기법으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 열화상 기법의 기본 원리, 활용 예, 제한 사항 등을 국내외 주요 연구성과를 분석하고 정리하였다. 콘크리트 구조물의 내부 결함 진단, 내부 철근 부식 측정과 콘크리트 구조물 표면과 섬유 보강 시트 사이의 비부착 검출, 포장도로의 표면 결함 검출, 오래된 건물의 표면 누수 측정, 철도 트랙 자갈의 상태 측정 등을 최근 연구결과 중심으로 광범위하게 검토하였고 최근에 보고된 실험결과도 제시하였다. 검토 결과, 열화상 기법은 광범위한 형태의 토목 구조물의 넓은 표면을 빠르게 정성적으로 검사할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면, 정량적 기법은 주변 온도 등 환경 요인에 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었으며, 다른 정밀계측장비와 혼용시 좋은 성과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 예측된다.

Recently, we performed ab initio total energy calculation and tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD) simulation to study structures and the reconstruction of native defects in graphene. In the previous study, we predicted by TBMD simulation that a double vacancy in graphene is reconstructed into a 555-777 composed of triple pentagons and triple heptagons [1]. The structural change from pentagon-octagon-pentagon (5-8-5) to 555-777 has been confirmed by recent experiments [2,3] and the detail of the reconstruction process is carefully studied by ab initio calculation. Pentagon-heptagon (5-7) pairs are also found to play an important role in the reconstruction of vacancy in graphene and single wall carbon nanotube [4]. In the TBMD simulation of graphene nanoribbon (GNR), we found the evaporation of carbon atoms from both the zigzag and armchair edges is preceded by the formation of heptagon rings, which serve as a gateway for carbon atoms to escape. In the simulation for a GNR armchair-zigzag-armchair junction, carbon atoms are evaporated row-by-row from the outermost row of the zigzag edge [5], which is in excellent agreement with recent experiments [2, 6]. We also present the recent results on the formation and development of dislocation in graphene. It is found that the coalescence of 5-7 pairs with vacancy defects develops dislocation in graphene and induces the separation of two 5-7 pairs. Our TBMD simulations also show that adatoms are ejected and evaporated from graphene surface due to large strain around 5-7 pairs. It is observed that an adatom wanders on the graphene surface and helps non-hexagonal rings change into stable hexagonal rings before its evaporation.

The findings were summarized as follows. The safety check by manufacturer showed that 6 of 13 companies are over the average occurrence of defects. It was expected that there would be a difference between manufacturing technology capability and production system of each manufacturer. Consequently, manufacturers should institutionally improve and strengthen certification items for the upward standardization of safety certification before factory. Second, the safety check by year showed that the results of this study accord with those of previous studies on defect time. Consequently, manufacturers should classify the 3-year-old equipment for vehicle-mounted MEWP into a special check subject to do a nondestructive test according to proven results, and also reflect the test in a safety test system to do regular preventive activities of equipment defects. Third, the safety check by part showed that the boom and outrigger parts of vehicle-mounted MEWP have the most defects. Stress concentration resulted in defects as the boom part was most frequently operated in the structural parts for a real work. To prevent this, it is suitable to improve the hardness of boom materials. The outrigger part needs improvement in safety devices with materials. As an outrigger supports the overturning moment of equipment, it is most affected by its load based on the operating radius, resulting in fatigue crack.

Magnesium and magnesium alloys, the lightest structural materials, have been received plenty of global attention recently. These alloys could be applied in various fields, especially the electronics industry, because of their excellent electromagnetic interference shielding. However, the welding technique of magnesium alloys has not been established. This study is related to the welding of AZ31B magnesium alloy by a short-pulsed a Nd:YAG laser. Two types of pulse waves, square pulse and variable pulse, were used to control weld defects. Results show that the crack and porosity, generated in the weld, had not been controlled by general square pulse. But through the application of variable pulse, the defects could be prevented and the good weld zone was obtained.
