In order to apply for pickling line in cold rolling process, a high power magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducer was developed. The transducer is expected to overcome the shortcomings of conventional high power ultrasonic transducers. The transducer consists of Fe-Co-V alloy sheets for the magnetostrictive material, an ultrasonic horn made of Hastelloy to withstand acid solution, and electric driving circuit. In the development, the transducer was designed with the theoretical and numerical methods such as finite element method, and was characterized with experimental water tanks. The developed transducers turned out to be able to generate the sound pressure up to 20,000 Pa, and to be suitable for application ...

일반 위상배열 시스템에서는 다수의 압전소자를 가지는 탐촉자의 개별 소자에 인가하는 시간지연을 조절함으로써 초음파빔을 전자적으로 제어하고 초음파 영상을 획득한다. 반면, full matrix capture(FMC) 기술은 위상배열 탐촉자에 대해 하나의 소자에서 초음파를 입사시킨 신호를 모든 압전소자에서 수신하고, 이 방법으로 모든 가능한 송수신 조합의 신호 데이터를 수집하는 방법이다. 이 FMC 데이터는 후처리를 통해 초음파 영상으로 재구성될 수 있으며, 기존 위상배열 초음파 영상과 동등한 영상뿐만 아니라 가상적으로 관심영역의 모든 지점에 집속하여 분해능과 선명도가 향상된 total focusing method(TFM) 영상으로도 합성이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 일반 위상배열장치를 이용하여 FMC가 가능하도록 시스템을 구현하고, 취득된 FMC 신호로부터 sector B-scan 및 TFM 이미지를 영상화하는 알고리즘에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 초음파 속도법을 콘크리트의 초기동해 피해를 진단하기 위한 방법으로서의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 모르타르 시험체를 대상으로 각각 동결 깊이에 따른 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도를 측정하여 미세구조와 그 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 동결 피해를 입은 모르타르 시험체와 피해를 입지 않은 시험체 간의 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도 값의 차이가 확연하게 나타났으며, 미세구조 분석을 통해 동결 깊이가 증가할수록 초기동해 피해를 더 많이 받아 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도가 감소하였다고 판단할 수 있었다. 회귀분석을 통해 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 추정식과 실험값과의 관계성을 나타내는 결정계수( R²)가 0.87로 얻어져 초기동해 피해 깊이에 따른 압축강도와 초음파 펄스 속도 사이의 상호 연관성이 존재하는 것으로 분석된다. 이에 따라 초음파 속도법을 통한 콘크리트의 초기동해 피해 진단이 가능하며, 그 피해 깊이를 정량적으로 진단하기 위해서는 향후 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

비파괴시험에 의한 콘크리트 압축강도 추정시 반발경도법은 콘크리트 타설 후 시간경과에 따라 재령계수를 적용하고 있으나 초음파속도법은 적용되지 않고 있다. 재령경과에 따른 콘크리트 초음파속도의 변화에 대한 재령계수 적용의 필요성에 대하여 검토해야함에도 불구하고 그에 대한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 콘크리트 초음파속도를 측정하여 강도 추정식에 적용될 재령계수를 산정하기 위한 실험을 실시한 결과, 초음파속도는 콘크리트 경화에 따라 재령 초기 기준치에 비교하면 급격한 변화를 보여 재령계수를 반드시 적용해야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 실험결과에 의해 콘크리트 초음파속도의 재령계수를 제안하였다.

Dredged silt from reservoirs in southern Taiwan was sintered to make lightweight aggregates (LWA), which were then used to produce lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC).This study aimed to assess the compressive strength and homogeneity of LWAC using ultrasonic-echo sensing. Concrete specimens were prepared using aggregates of four different particle density, namely 800, 1100, 1300 and 2650 kg/$m^3$. The LWAC specimens were cylindrical and a square wall with core specimens drilled. Besides compressive strength test, ultrasonic-echo sensing was employed to examine the ultrasonic pulse velocity and homogeneity of the wall specimens and to explore the relationship between compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Results show that LWA, due to its lower relative density, causes bloating, thus resulting in uneven distribution of aggregates and poor homogeneity. LWAC mixtures using LWA of particle density 1300 kg/$m^3$ show the most even distribution of aggregates and hence best homogeneity as well as highest compressive strength of 63.5 MPa. In addition, measurements obtained using ultrasonic-echo sensing and traditional ultrasonic method show little difference, supporting that ultrasonic-echo sensing can indeed perform non-destructive, fast and accurate assessment of LWAC homogeneity.

The three dimensional ultrasonic anemometer was constructed to reduce the disadvantages of the two-dimensional anemometer and to be free from the use environment. Three pairs of transmitting and receiving ultrasonic sensors were designed to face each other at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the upper and lower surfaces at intervals of $120^{\circ}$. 200 kHz ultrasonic sensor Oscillation, transmission and reception, level detection, power supply circuit were designed and U, V, W wind speed vector components were obtained by measuring the time of first received ultrasonic pulse by transmitting pulse ultrasound. It is implemented as firmware in ARM Coretex-M3 processor so that horizontal and vertical wind direction and wind speed can be converted into digital signal by vector calculation. In this study, The three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer can complement the disadvantages of the two-dimensional anemometer (mechanical and ultrasonic), and it is expected to gradually replace the two-dimensional anemometer due to its high utilization rate by collecting additional information such as vertical wind.

Generally, burrs refer to projected parts remained on the edge after material had been processed. These burrs decrease the precision of part and cause many problems in part assembly. Burrs are undesirable projections of the material beyond the edge of the workpiece. A number of deburring processes have been developed such as barreling, brushing, chemical methods etc. But, there are a few publications in the area of applying ultrasonics to deburring. When ultrasonic vibration propagates in the liquid medium, a large number of bubbles are formed. These bubbles generate an extremely strong force, which removes burrs. Cavitations were used as a term to describe erosion of parts caused by the action of cavities in liquid. The object of this study is to analyze the effects of ultrasonic cavitation in deburring process. For this purpose, we introduce a new ultrasonic cavitation method with abrasive, which efficiently removes the burrs. Experimental parameters to verify the deburring effects of ultrasonic cavitations are ultrasonic power, amplitude, distant of the transducer from the workpiece, deburring time and abrasive. It has been shown that deburring with ultrasonic cavitation in water is effective to burrs.

Surface and edge finishing processes are important technological operations of in parts machining. Quality of the finished parts directly affect the performance of the whole product. Especially, edge quality, which depends on burr control, is extremely important. Burrs are undesirable projections of the material beyond the edge of the workpiece. A number of deburring processes have been developed such as barreling, brushing, chemical methods etc. But, there are only few publications in the area of applying ultrasonics to deburring. When ultrasonic vibration propagates in the liquid medium, a large number of bubbles are formed. These bubbles generate an extremely strong force, which can be used to remove burrs. Cavitation is used as a term to describe the erosion of parts caused by the action of cavities in liquid.

This paper describes the application results of an ultrasonic detection system for the power transformer. The ultrasonic detection system with 6 sensors was applied to detect partial discharge in a 154kV transformer with a dangerous levels of $C_{2}H_{2},\;C_{2}H_4$ and $CH_{4}$ gases. The ultrasonic detection tests were carried out 2 times, respectively, to confirm the existence and location of the partial discharge in the transformer. As a result of internal inspection, the arc trace between the pressure ring and core due to the partial discharge was found at the estimated position based on the amplitude and arriving time of the ultrasonic signals. Therefore, it was verified that the ultrasonic detection system is effective as a preventive diagnosis method for the power transformer. Also, the reliability of the ultrasonic detection system in detecting partial discharges in the transformer was also confirmed. It is expected, therefore, that the ultrasonic detection system will have beneficial effects on applications and verifications in detecting partial discharges for the power transformer.

In the non-destructive evaluation techniques using ultrasonic signal, backscattering noise from grain interface decreases the SNR of received signal. In this paper, SSP(split-spectrum processing) based on the constant FBR decomposition method has been applied to enhance the SNR. This algorithm helps to find optimal parameters of filter bank through a simple theory and has an advantage that reduce the signal processing time compared with the conventional constant bandwidth decomposition method. In this experiment, the 304 stainless steel sample is heat-treated and received ultrasonic signal is processed by SSP using the constand bandwidth decomposition method and the constand FBR decomposition method enhanced the SNR by 1.4 dB and reduced the required number of filters by 4 compared with the constant bandwidth decomposition method.
