본 논문에서는 비파괴검사용 고성능 결함탐상기를 위한 압전변환기를 구현하였다. 여기서는 압전변형상수와 전기기계 결합계수 등과 같은 주요 특성에 대한 설계 목표치를 먼저 정하고 유한요소해석을 이용하여 얻은 데이터를 설계 및 제작에 활용하였다. 시편을 이용한 실험 결과, 제작된 PZT 세라믹은 목표치들을 매우 잘 만족시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 공진 주파수에서 매우 향상된 임피던스 특성과 초음파 발생 특성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 새로운 압전변환기가 적용된 초음파 결함탐상기는 기존 탐상기보다 증가된 결함 검출이득을 제공한다. 따라서 새로운 결함탐상기는 초음파를 이용한 비파괴검사의 검사 신뢰성 향상에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

열화 정도를 예측하기 위한 비파괴기법으로 초음파기법이 널리 적용되고 있다. 초음파 속도와 감쇠 특성은 일반적으로 금속재료의 물성 변화에 따라 변화하기 때문에 초음파 속도와 감쇠 특성을 이용하여 금속재료의 열화 정도를 간접적으로 예측할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 반복하중으로 인하여 피로파괴 발생 가능성이 높은 볼트, 리벳 접합의 구조용재 및 선박 차량에 사용되고 있는 Al6061-T6을 피로수명의 0%, 55%, 70%, 85%인 시험편을 제작하였고, 가공된 시험편의 감쇠 특성을 이용하여 측정된 열화 이미지로 Al6061-T6의 건전부와 열화부를 판단하였으며, 건전부와 열화부의 감쇠 특성 차이를 계산하여 Al6061-T6의 열화 진행 정도를 평가하였다.

Real time ultrasonic measurements for 13th rib fat thickness (LBF), longissimus muscle area (LEMA) and marbling score (LMS) of live animal at pre-harvest and subsequent carcass measurements for fat thickness (BF), longissimus muscle area (EMA), marbling score (MS) as well as body weight of live animal, carcass weight (CW), dressing percentage (DP), and total merit index (TMI) on 755 Korean beef steers were analyzed to estimate genetic parameters. Data were analyzed using multivariate animal models with an EM-REML algorithm. Models included fixed effects for year-season of birth, location of birth, test station, age of dam, linear and quadratic covariates for age or body weight at slaughter and random animal and residual effects. The heritability estimates for LEMA, LBF and LMS on RTU scans were 0.17, 0.41 and 0.55 in the age-adjusted model (Model 1) and 0.20, 0.52 and 0.55 in the weight-adjusted model (Model 2), respectively. The Heritability estimates for subsequent traits on carcass measures were 0.20, 0.38 and 0.54 in Model 1 and 0.23, 0.46 and 0.55 in Model 2, respectively. Genetic correlation estimate between LEMA and EMA was 0.81 and 0.79 in Model 1 and Model 2, respectively. Genetic correlation estimate between LBF and BF were high as 0.97 in Model 1 and 0.98 in Model 2. Real time ultrasonic marbling score were highly genetically correlated to carcass MS of 0.89 in Model 1 and 0.92 in Model 2. These results indicate that RTU scans would be alterative to carcass measurement for genetic evaluation of meat quality in a designed progeny-testing program in Korean beef cattle.

In this study, carbon steel (A53) is used as the material for the pipes in a marine plant and ship industry. Welds are necessary to join the carbon steel, and the effect of this welding on the properties of the carbon steel has been studied by many researchers. In this study, the dynamic behavior of welded carbon steel was studied using an acoustic emission (AE) technique, which is a nondestructive test. There are numerous AE parameters that can be used to analyze the damage behavior of carbon steel by external loading. The AE parameters of energy, cumulative count, amplitude, and AE event were used, and each parameter was differentiated according to the degree of damage to the carbon steel. The energy showed a high level at the elastic range of the load curve, while the amplitude had the highest value at the hardening region. The cumulative count showed a growth tendency similar to the loading curve. In addition, an ultrasonic technique and hardness test were applied to evaluate the mechanical properties according to the base zone, HAZ region, and weld zone of the weld specimen. The velocity and attenuation ratio showed little change between zones, and an evaluation of the ultrasonic waves on each zone of the specimen was found to be a useful method to clarify the mechanical properties of the carbon steel.

Densities (${\rho}$), Viscosities (${\eta}$) and ultrasonic speeds (u) of pure acetophenone (AP), propiophenone (PP), $p$-methyl acetophenone ($p$-MeAP), $p$-chloroacetophenone ($p$-ClAP) and those of their binary mixtures with $N$-ethyl aniline ($N$-EA) as a common component, were measured at 303.15 K over the entire composition range. These experimental data were used to calculate the excess volume $V^E$, deviation in ultrasonic speeds ${\Delta}u$, isentropic compressibility $K_s$, intermolecular free length $L_f$, acoustic impedance Z, deviations in isentropic compressibility ${\Delta}K_s$, deviation in viscosity ${\Delta}{\eta}$ and excess Gibbs free energy of activation of viscous flow ($G^{*E}$) at all mole fractions of $N$-ethyl aniline. These parameters, especially excess functions, are found to be quite sensitive towards the intermolecular interactions between component molecules. Theoretical values of viscosity of the binary mixtures were calculated using different empirical relations and theories. The relative merits of these relations and theories were discussed. The experimental results were correlated by using the polynomial proposed by Redlich-Kister equation.

Polycrystalline diamond is an ideal material for parts with micro-holes and has been widely used as dies and cutting tools in automotive, aerospace and woodworking industries due to its superior wear and corrosion resistance. In this research paper, the modeling and simultaneous optimization of multiple performance characteristics such as material removal rate and surface roughness of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) with ultrasonic machining process has been presented. The fuzzy logic and taguchi's quality loss function has been used. In recent years, fuzzy logic has been used in manufacturing engineering for modeling and monitoring. Also the effect of controllable machining parameters like type of abrasive slurry, their size and concentration, nature of tool material and the power rating of the machine has been determined by applying the single objective and multi-objective optimization techniques. The analysis of results has been done using the MATLAB 7.5 software and results obtained are validated by conducting the confirmation experiments. The results show the considerable improvement in S/N ratio as compared to initial cutting conditions. The surface roughness of machined surface has been measured by using the Perthometer (M4Pi, Mahr Germany).

Three-way catalyst converter, cleaning up the exhaust gas contamination of SI engine, has the best efficiency when A/F ratio is near the stoichiometry . The feedback control using oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold has limits caused by the system delays. So the accurate measurement of air flow rate to an engine is essential to control the fuel injection rate especially on transient condition like the rapid throttle opening and closing. To measure the rapid change of flow rates. the air flow meter for the engine requires quick response, flow reversal detection, and linearity . Tjhe proposed integration type air flow meter (IFM), composed of an ultrasonic flow meter with an integration circuit, has significantly improved the measurement accuracy of air mass inducted through the throttle body. The proposed control method estimated the air mass at the cylinder port using the measured air mass at the throttle . For the fuel dynamic model, the two constant fuel model is introduced . The control parameters from air and fuel dynamics are tuned to minimize the excursion of the air fuel ratio. As a result A/F ratio excursion can be reduced within 5% when throttle rapidly opens and closes at the various engine conditions.

Inspection of dissimilar metal welds using phased array ultrasound is not easy at all, because crystalline structure of dissimilar metal welds cause deviation and splitting of the ultrasonic beams. Thus, in order to have focusing and/or steering phased array beams in dissimilar metal welds, proper time delays should be determined by ray tracing. In this paper, we proposed an effective approach to solve this difficult problem. Specifically, we modify the Oglivy's model parameters to describe the crystalline structure of real dissimilar metal welds in a fabricated specimen. And then, we calculate the proper time delay and incident angle of linear phased array transducer in the anisotropic and inhomogeneous material for focusing and/or steering phased array ultrasonic beams on the desired position.

초음파 모터(ultrasonic motor : USM)는 압전 세라믹소자(piezoelectric ceramics)의 초음파 진동을 이용한 마찰 구동형 모터이다. 기존의 전자식 모터와는 달리 자기화로 즉 철심과 코일이 없는 단순 구조를 갖는 특수 소형 모터로서 저속 고토오크의 특성을 지니고 있으므로 다이랙트 드라이브 방식의 액츄에이터로 활용이 가능하다. 그리고 자장이 강한 특수 환경에서도 외란의 영향을 받지 않아도 산업계 전바에 걸쳐 제어용 모터로서 높이 평가받고 있다. 따라서 실용화를 위한 여러 가지 파라미터에 대한 특성 실험과 그에 따른 제어법 개발이 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 2상 입력 전원의 전압차 제어(voltags)를 제안한다. 먼저 전압차 제어에 의하여 이론적으로 고찰하고 초음파 모터의 구동원이 되는 고정자의 한 질점에서 발생하는 타원 궤적을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 알아봄으로써 초음파 모터의 속도와 토오크 특성을 예측하였다. 그리고 입력 전압워 전압차를 조절하여 초음파 모터의 속도와 토오트 특성을 실험하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 전압차 제어가 초음파 모터의 새로운 구동 방식이 될 수 있음을 밝혔다.
