섬유강화복합재료의 품질향상을 위하여 제조공정중에 발생하게 되는 층간 분리 및 기공 등의 결함이 온라인상에서 검출되어야 한다. 일반적으로 섬유강화복합재료의 비파괴 평가에 있어서 초음파 평가기법이 널리 이용되고 있으나 기존의 초음파 평가 기법은 초음파 전파를 위하여 접촉이 이루어져야 하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 기존의 초음파 평가기법은 비접촉의 기법이 아니므로 제조공정중에 적용할 수 없다. 비접촉식의 초음파 평가 기법을 구현하기 위하여 광학적 기법의 레이저 기법이 적용되었으며 본 연구에서는 레이저 유도 초음파 발생 기법과 레이저 간섭계를 이용한 수신기법이 섬유강화 복합재료 판재에서 적용되었다. 레이저 유도 초음파는 펄스레이저에 의한 복합재료 표면의 순간적인 가열과 이에 의한 열변형으로 발생되어 전파되며 본 연구에 가속도계, AE센서 등 주파수 범위가 다른 수신센서를 이용하여 전파방향 변화에 따른 유도 초음파를 수신하였으며 수신된 유도초음파의 전파방향에 따른 전파속도를 비교하였다. 또한 비접촉 수신기법으로 레이저 간섭계를 이용하여 탄소섬유강화 복합재료에서의 초음파를 수신하고 그 주파수 특성을 분석하였다.

This study presents the possibility of scratch reduction on wafer in CMP by applying the ultrasonic and megasonic energy into the slurry which might contain large abrasive particles. Experiments were conducted to verify the dispersion ability of agglomerated particles by applying ultrasonic, megasonic waves and analyze the particle distribution of used slurry in case, of sonic energy assisted or none. And the dispersion stability of megasonic waves was investigated through the experiment of stability of the dispersed slurry, Finally, to confirm that the distribution of particles in slurry by ultrasonic waves was actually related to scratches on wafer when CMP was done, tungsten blanket wafer was processed, by CMP to compare and investigate scratches on wafer.

The structural monitoring of multi-wire strands is of importance to prestressed concrete structures and cable-stayed or suspension bridges. This paper addresses the monitoring of strands by ultrasonic guided waves with emphasis on the signal processing and automatic defect classification. The detection of notch-like defects in the strands is based on the reflections of guided waves that are excited and detected by magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducers. The Discrete Wavelet Transform was used to extract damage-sensitive features from the detected signals and to construct a multi-dimensional Damage Index vector. The Damage Index vector was then fed to an Artificial Neural Network to provide the automatic classification of (a) the size of the notch and (b) the location of the notch from the receiving sensor. Following an optimization study of the network, it was determined that five damage-sensitive features provided the best defect classification performance with an overall success rate of 90.8%. It was thus demonstrated that the wavelet-based multidimensional analysis can provide excellent classification performance for notch-type defects in strands.

Non-contact detection of internal defects in a rail using ultrasonic waves is discussed in this paper. Cracks in a rail may be the cause of a serious railway accident such as derailment if left undetected. Concurrent rail inspection method based on ultrasonic testing using piezoelectric transducers has several limitations as it should keep physical contact with the rail. This work suggests a non-contact detection of internal defects in a rail using ElectroMagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMAT) which can produce and measure ultrasonic waves in a rail without any couplant. The EMATs for rail inspection are designed and fabricated and their working performance is verified through a series of experiments on various types of internal defects in test rails. The effect of lift-off between the transducers and the rail on the generated signals is also discussed.

This paper proposes an ultrasonic measurement method for measurement of linear interfacial stiffness of contacting surface between two steel plates subjected to nominal compression pressures. Interfacial stiffness was evaluated by using shear waves reflected at contact interface of two identical solid plates. Three consecutive reflection waves from solid-solid surface are captured by pulse-echo method to evaluate the state of contact interface. A non-dimensional parameter defined as the ratio of their peak-to-peak amplitudes are formulated and used to calculate the quantitative stiffness of interface. Mathematical model for 1-D wave propagation across interfaces is developed to formulate the reflection and transmission waves across the interface and to determine the interfacial stiffness. Two identical plates are fabricated and assembled to form contacting surface and to measure interfacial stiffness at different states of contact pressure by means of bolt fastening. It is found from experiment that the amplitude of interfacial stiffness is dependent on the pressure and successfully determined by employing pulse-echo ultrasonic method without measuring through-transmission waves.

In this study, a noncontact laser ultrasonic system is proposed for rail defect detection. An Nd-Yag pulse laser is used for generation of ultrasonic waves, and the corresponding ultrasonic responses are measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer. For the detection of rail surface damages, the shape of the excitation laser beam is transformed into a line. On the other hand, a point source laser beam is used for the inspection of defects inside a rail head. Then, the interactions of propagating ultrasonic waves with defects are examined using actual rail specimens. Amplitude attenuation was mainly observed for a surface crack, and reflections were most noticeable from an internal damage. Finally, opportunities and challenges associated with real-time rail inspection from a high-speed train are discussed.

The paper deals with the accuracy comparison between two kinds of ultrasonic paths for flow rate measurement. In the Z-path, two transducers are installed on the opposite side of each other on a pipe, and the ultrasonic waves generated of one transducer propagate and arrive at the other one only through refraction. In the V-path, two transducers are installed on one side of a pipe, and the ultrasonic waves reflected at the inner wall of the pipe are received. The backgrounds were established to select one path to fit the usage by considering the advantages and disadvantages.

The paper deals with an ultrasonic transducer invented for measuring both flow velocity and pipe thickness. The structure of the transducer is based on the conventional transducers for measuring flow velocity by obliquely transmitting ultrasonic waves to the flow direction. The transducer additionally generates ultrasonic waves transmitting vertically to a pipe for measuring pipe thickness. By measuring flow velocity with the invented transducer and a conventional oblique-incidence transducer and comparing their results, the accuracy of the flow velocity measurement of the invented one was evaluated. By measuring specimen thickness with the invented transducer and a conventional normal-incidence transducer and comparing their results, the accuracy of the thickness measurement of the invented one was evaluated.

짧은 시간에 장거리를 전파하는 유도 초음파의 특성을 이용하면 빠르게 넓은 영역의 검사가 가능하다. 그러나 레일의 경우와 같이 단면이 단순하지 않고 임의의 형상을 갖는 구조물의 경우 초음파 전달시 발생하는 분산 특성이나 다수의 모드의 발생으로 초음파 신호의 분석에 어려움을 겪는다. 따라서 실용적인 유도 초음파 검사 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 먼저 레일내를 전파하여 전달되는 초음파의 거동특성을 이해하여야 한다. 특히 레일내를 전파하는 초음파의 분산특성은 필수적으로 확인되어야 할 특성이다. 본논문에서는 SAFE법을 활용하여 KS60 레일내를 전파하는 초음파의 분산곡선을 구하는 방법을 소개하고 유도초음파를 활용한 레일 검사의 가능성에 대하여 살펴보았다.
