This study proposes the neural network simulator for the integrity evaluation of weld zone in railway rails. For these purposes, the ultrasonic signals for defects(crack) of weld zone in frames are acquired in the type of time series data and echo strength. The detection of the natural defects in railway truck is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. And then their applications evaluated feature extraction based on the time-frequency-attractor domain(peak to peak, rise time, rise slope, fall time, fall slope, pulse duration, power spectrum, and bandwidth) and attractor characteristics (fractal dimension and attractor quadrant) etc. The constructed neural network simulator agrees fairly well with the measured results of test block(defect location, beam propagation distance, echo strength, etc). The Proposed neural network simulator in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of weld zone in railway rails.

A simulation program SIMULTSONIC is under development at CNDE to help determine and/or help optimize ultrasonic probe locations for inspection of complex components. SIMULTSONIC provides a ray-trace based assessment for immersion and contact modes of inspection. The code written in Visual C++ operating in Microsoft Windows environment provides an interactive user interface. In this paper, a description of the various features of SIMULTSONIC is given followed by examples illustrating the capability of SIMULTSONIC to deal with inspection of canonical objects such as pipes. In particular, the use of SIMULTSONIC in the inspection of very thin-walled pipes (with 450 urn wall thickness) is described. Ray trace based assessment was done using SIMULTSONIC to determine the standoff distance and the angle of oblique incidence for an immersion mode focused transducer. A 3-cycle Hanning window pulse was chosen for simulations. Experiments were carried out to validate the simulations. The A-scans and the associated B-Scan images obtained through simulations show good correlation with experimental results, both with the arrival time of the signal as well as with the signal amplitudes.

초음파 결함 분석 프로그램은 초음파 반사법을 기반으로 초음파 신호처리 기법을 적용하여 개발되었고, FRP 층간분리 및 FRP/내열고무 미접착 결함을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있었다. 복합재 연소관에서 검출된 결함은 절단하여 전산화 단층촬영 및 영상 현미경으로 분석하였고, 결함 분석 프로그램의 결과와 일치하였다. 본 논문은 복합재 연소관의 초음파시험 데이터를 C-Scan 영상으로 변환하여 결함을 분석할 수 있는 프로그램 개발 과정을 기술하였다.

This paper presents a sensor fusion method to recognize a cylindrical object a CCD camera, a laser slit beam and ultrasonic sensors on a pan/tilt device. For object recognition with a vision sensor, an active light source projects a stripe pattern of light on the object surface. The 2D image data are transformed into 3D data using the geometry between the camera and the laser slit beam. The ultrasonic sensor uses an ultrasonic transducer array mounted in horizontal direction on the pan/tilt device. The time of flight is estimated by finding the maximum correlation between the received ultrasonic pulse and a set of stored templates - also called a matched filter. The distance of flight is calculated by simply multiplying the time of flight by the speed of sound and the maximum amplitude of the filtered signal is used to determine the face angle to the object. To determine the position and the radius of cylindrical objects, we use a statistical sensor fusion. Experimental results show that the fused data increase the reliability for the object recognition.

본 논문에서는 Polarity Thresholding(PT) 알고리즘을 원자력 발전소의 중요 배관 재료인 스테인레스강(SUS-304) 탐상에 응용하여 초음파 수신신호를 개선시키는 방법을 연구하였다. PT 알고리즘은 수신신호의 스펙트럼을 분할하여 얻은 각각의 주파수분할 신호들이 갖는, 결정립에 의한 간섭패턴의 분산적 신호와 결함에 의한 비분산적 신호를 구분하여 S/N 비를 개선시키는 것이다. 실험을 위하여, 실제 검사부위의 특성과 유사하게 스테인레스강을 각각 1125, 1150, 1175, $1200^\circ{C}$로 열처리하였고, 시료의 배면에 원통형 결함을 인공 가공하였다. 중심주파수가 5MHz인 초음파변환기를 사용하여, 펄스-반사법에 의해 데이터를 획득한 후 PT 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 개선된 S/N 비는 평균 14.2 dB로 나타났다.

This paper discribes an improved technique for locating partial discharge sites within operating transformers by ultrasonic method which utilizes the different travel times of the electrical and ultrasonic signals produced by partial discharges to determine the location of the sources. The technique was to develope the measurement system based on the enhancement of the acoustic emission signals using signal square, circuit to improve the detectable sensitivity and reliability. Also an ultrasonic pulse generator was designed and made to transmit periodically pulses equivalent to pratial discharges and to check the good performance of the system, echo effects and self-diagnosis. Through the laboratory work, it was confirmed that the system and the generator can be used satisfactorily for diagnosing power transformers and for studying echo effects and self-diagnosis of the system.

Magnetic nanoparticles for ferromagnetic fluids and magnetorheological fluids were prepared by chemical coprecipitation and mechanical milling, respectively. The surface-treated particles were dispersed at various weight ratios into a medium of polyethylene glycol. In order to evaluate the elastic modulus of the fluids, ultrasonic pulse velocities were measured with an ultrasonic test using transducers of 5MHz and 2.25MHz. The ultrasonic signals were only available with a transducer of 2.25 MHz at fluid concentrations of 5 mg/ml and lower. In the case of applying transducers over 2.25 MHz and concentrations over 5 mg/ml to the fluids, it was impossible to observe effective ultrasonic signals due to an excessive scattering of the pulses by the dispersed particles. Elastic moduli of the magnetorheological fluids were 5.44 GPa and 6.13 GPa with concentrations of 25 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml, respectively; these values were higher by 40% than the values of 4.04 GPa and 4.28 GPa of ferromagnetic fluids at the same concentrations. As for the effect of an external magnetic field on these dilute fluids, the ultrasonic signals were positioned in a very similar way, which was probably due to insufficient arrangement of the particles even though the reflection energy of the ultrasonic waves apparently increased.

레이저 초음파 검사 장치는 레이저빔을 이용하여 초음파 신호를 발생시키고 측정하는 비접촉식 결함 검사 장치이다. 이 장치는 펄스 레이저빔을 이용하여 광대역 주파수 범위를 갖는 초음파 신호를 발생시키고 작은 점으로 집속된 측정용 레이저빔을 이용하여 초음파 신호를 측정하므로 우수한 측정 분해능을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 레이저 초음파의 표면파를 이용하여 표면 결함의 깊이를 측정하는 기법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 표면 결함은 깊이가 깊어질수록 차단 주파수 값이 작아지는 저주파 통과 필터 역할을 한다. 그리고 결함을 통과한 초음파 신호의 중심 주파수 값은 결함의 깊이에 따라 반비례적으로 작아진다. 본 논문에서는 표면 결함의 정규화 된 전달함수를 구한 다음 주파수 감쇠 성분을 이용하여 표면 결함의 깊이 정보를 추출하였고 표면 결함을 통과한 레이저 초음파 신호의 중심 주파수 값을 이용하여 결함의 릴이 정보를 추출하였다. 제안된 표면 결함 깊이 측정 방법은 초음파의 진폭 변화에 의한 결함 깊이 측정법보다 더욱 정밀한 정보를 제공하였다.

Pulsed ultrasonic Doppler system is a useful diagnostic instrument to measure blood-flow-velocity, velocity profile, and volume-blood-flow. This system is more powerful compare with 2-dimensional B-scan tissue image. A system has been deve- loped and ii being evaluated using TMS 32010 DSP. We use this DSP for the purpose of real-time spectrum analyzer to obtain spectrogram in singlegate pulsed Doppler system and for the serial comb filter to cancel clutter and zero crossing counter to estimate Doppler mean frequency in multigate pulsed Doppler system. The Doppler shift of the backscattered signals is sensed in a phase detector. This Doppler signal corresponds to the mean velocity over a some region in space defined by the ultrasonic beam dimensions, transmitted pulse duration, and transducer ban(iwidth. Multi- gate pulsed Doppler system enable the transcutaneous and simultaneous assessment of the velocities in a number of adjacent sample volumes as a continuous function of time. A multigate pulsed Doppler system processing the information originating from presented.
