본 연구에서는 초음파원자현미경을 이용하여 비파괴적인 표면탄성이미지 분석과 나노표면에서의 기계적 물성 평가를 연구하였다. 이를 위해 접촉역학 특성에 따른 캔틸레버의 공진주파수 변화를 이론적으로 해석하고 실험적으로 측정하였다. 스프링-질량 모델과 Herzian 이론을 이용하여 계산한 이론적인 접촉공천주파수는 초음파원자현미경 캔틸레버의 실험적인 접촉 공진주파수의 변화와 매우 유사하였다. 결과적으로, 초음파원자현미경의 표면 높이 이미지와 진폭이미지를 성공적으로 얻을 수 있었고 진폭신호를 통하여 시료표면에서의 탄성특성을 정성적으로 평가하였다.

This work experimentally studies the fundamental mechanisms by which the ultrasonic vibration enhances convection and pool boiling heat transfer. A thin platinum wire is used as both a heat source and a temperature sensor. A high speed video imaging system is employed to observe the behavior of cavitation and thermal bubbles. It is found that when the liquid temperature is below its boiling point, cavitation takes place due to ultrasonic vibration while cavitation disappears when the liquid reaches the boiling point. Moreover, when the gas dissolved in liquid is removed by pre-degassing, the cavitation arises only locally. Depending on the liquid temperature, heat transfer rates in convection, subcooled boiling and saturated boiling regimes are examined. In convection heat transfer regime, fully agitated cavitation is the most efficient heat transfer enhancement mechanism. Subcooled boiling is most enhanced when tile local cavitation is induced after degassing. In saturated boiling regime, acoustic pressure is shown to be a dominant heat transfer enhancement mechanism.

In this paper, we propose an enhancement of the ultrasonic image for non-destructive inspection of aircraft composite materials. The ultrasonic images are corrupted by a speckle noise which has the characteristic of granular pattern noise and is in all types of coherent imaging systems, the signal independent and multiplicative noise. In this paper, we derive a filter, called the AWLF(Adaptive Window Log Filter), from the nature of the speckle. The filter is made of the MEAN Filter in the edge region and Log Filter in the flat or noise region. To make a distinction between edge and flat region, we calculate the inclination around the local window instead of computing the local statistics of pixels such as local mean ${\bar{M}}$ and standard deviation ${\sigma}_s$. According to the obtained region, edge region is performed by the mean filter and flat region by the Log filter. Performance of the proposed filter is evaluated by the Enhanced Factor$(F_e)$ and the Speckle Index(SI).

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) based in-situ heating holders have been developed to enable high resolution imaging of heat treatment analysis. However, unlike the standard 3 mm metal disk specimens used in the furnace-based heating holder and general transmission electron microscopy holder, the MEMS-based in-situ heating holder requires thin specimens that can be penetrated by electrons to be transferred onto the MEMS chip. Previously, focused ion beam milling was used to transfer metal specimens, but it has the disadvantage of being expensive and the risk of specimen damage due to gallium ions. Therefore, in this study, we devised a method of transferring metallic materials by ultrasonic treatment using a transmission electron microscopy specimen made by electro jet polishing. A 3mm electropolished metal disk was placed in an appropriate solution, ultrasonicated, and then drop casted. The transfer of the specimen was successful, but it was confirmed that dislocations were formed inside the specimen due to ultrasonic treatment. This study provides a novel method for transferring metallic materials onto MEMS chips, which is cost-effective and less gallium ion damaging to the specimen. The results of this study can be used to improve the efficiency of heat treatment analysis using MEMS-based in-situ heating holders.

Ultrasonic Doppler systems for the purpose of estimating blood flow velocity, blood flow volume, and flow imaging are commonly used due to advantages of non-invasive and real time observation. Specially, the technical developments of color flow mapping (2-D Doppler) systems have made a relatively rapid progress. However, the 2-D Doppler systems have several problems, such as the range ambiguity, low signal to noise ratio, and slow frame rate. The slow frame rate problem is resolved by using the spatial average which is a method to acquire more data samples for mean frequency estimation. In this paper, spatial average method using the 2nd order sampling instead of quadrature sampling is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed methods have good performance and easy application to the color flow mapping system.

경계면의 고주파 영역을 선명하게 하면 영상의 질이 좋아진다. sobel 연산자를 이용하여 동적 촬영으로 인하여 선명하지 못한 초음파 영상의 결함을 개선시키는 방법을 제안 하고자 한다. 실험 결과 입력 초음파 영상의 경계부분이 선명하게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 경계부분의 고주파 성분을 강하게 하다 보니 경계부에 인접한 낮은 신호강도 픽셀의 정보를 잃게 되는 점을 보완할 것이 요구된다.

The object detection capabilities of ultrasonic imaging systems are limited by the ability of the detection process to distinguish the resolved object signals from backscattered speckle noise. It has been shown that the phase component of the Fourier transform of the speckle noise is random. Based on this property. we propose a new algorithm for distinguishing between speckle and specular targets. The proposed algorithm is implemented by taking the Fourier transform of the received signal, low-pass filtering the phase, and taking the inverse Fourier transform of the filtered phase to enhance specular reflectors and reduce speckle in the image. Simulations and experiments using phantoms confirm the algorithm yielding significant reduction of speckle noise.

Digital processing of measured data offers a powerful means to improve the resolution and quality of ultrasonic imaging. The present research demonstrates that filtering typical B-scan images using Wiener filter enhances lateral resolutions by more than 50 percent. The filter is operated using the measured signal amplitude across the transmitter beam and the beam with. It is optimized for low noise and high resolution By an empirical approach. This bethod for lateral filtering produces a very useful result for the line images with high interference by neighboring lines.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm to estimate the volume and surface area from ultrasonic imaging and a reconstruction algorithm to generate three-dimensional graphics are presented. The computing efficiency is Improved by using the graph theory and the algorithm to determine proper contour points is performed by applying several tolerances. The search for contour points is limited by the change in curvature in order to provide an efficient search of the minimum cost path. These algorithms are applied to a selected mathematical model of ellipsoid. The results show that the measured value of the volume and surface area for the tolerances of 1.0005, 1.001 and 1.002 approximate to the measured values for the tolerance of 1.000 resulting in small errors. The reconstructed 3-dimensional Images are sparse and consist of larger triangular tiles between two cross sections as tolerance is increased.
