The behavior of rocks and microcrack development due to fatigue stresses are investigated using cyclic loading tests and ultrasonic velocity measurements. Twenty six medium-grained granite samples from the Pochon area are selected for measurements. Ultrasonic velocities are measured for samples before fatigue test to characterize the pre-existing microcracks. Then, thirteen different cycles of loadings with 70% and 80% dynamic strength are applied to the samples. The ultrasonic velocities are measured again to compare velocities after applications of fatigue stress with those before applications of fatigue stress. The results show that most microcracks are developed along the direction parallel to the axis of loading and that the amount of microcracks increases, as loading levels and numbers of cycle increase.

The influences of mineral content and porosity on ultrasonic wave velocity were assessed for ten hornfelsic rocks collected from southern and western parts of the city of Hamedan, western Iran. Selected rock samples were subjected to mineralogical, physical, and index laboratory tests. The tested rocks contain quartz, feldspar, biotite, muscovite, garnet, sillimanite, kyanite, staurolite, graphite and other fine grained cryptocrystalline matrix materials. The values of dry unit weight of the rocks were high, but the values of porosity and water absorption were low. In the rocks, the values of dry unit weight are related to the presence of dense minerals such as garnet so not affected by porosity. The statistical relationships between mineral content, porosity and ultrasonic wave velocity indicated that the porosity is the most important factor influencing ultrasonic wave velocity of the studied rocks. The values of P-wave velocity of the rocks range from moderate to very high. Empirical equations, relevant to different parameters of the rocks, were proposed to determine the rocks' essential characteristics such as primary and secondary wave velocities. Quality indexes (IQ) of the studied samples were determined based on P-wave velocities of them and their composing minerals and the samples were classified as non-fissured to moderately fissured rocks. Also, all tested samples are classified as slightly fissured rocks according to the ratio of S-wave to P-wave velocities.

In this study, an ultrasonic technique was employed to obtain pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) rela­tionship of polymer melt by measuring ultrasonic velocities under various temperatures and pressures. The proposed technique was applied to on-line monitoring of injection molding process as an attempt to predict quality of molded parts. From the comparison based on Tait equation, it was confirmed that the PVT behav­ior of a polymer is well described by the variation of ultrasonic velocities measured within the polymer medium. In addition, the changes in part weight and moduli were successfully predicted by combining the data collected from ultrasonic technique and artificial neural network algorithm. The results found from this study suggest that the proposed technique can be effectively utilized to monitor the evolution of solid­ification within the mold by measuring ultrasonic responses of various polymers during injection molding process. Such data are expected to provide a critical basis for the accurate prediction of final performance of molded parts.

The paper presents a numerical study to evaluate the phase velocities and attenuations of the average longitudinal and shear ultrasonic waves resulting from multiple scattering in fiber-reinforced composites. A computational procedure developed in this work is first used to produce a random, yet largely even distribution of fibers. Both the viscoelastic epoxy matrix and lossless randomly distributed graphite fibers are modeled using the mass-spring-dashpot lattice model, with no damping for the latter. By numerically simulating ultrasonic through-transmission tests using this direct model of composites, phase velocities and attenuations of the longitudinal and shear waves through the composite are found as functions of frequency or fiber concentration. The numerical results are observed to generally agree with the corresponding results in the literature. Discrepancies found in some detail aspects, particularly in the attenuation results, are also addressed.

This study investigates the relationship between ultrasonic velocity and density in the direct method, the effect of distance between transducers in the indirect method, and the difference between the direct and indirect methods with transducers placed at a distance of 200 mm in nondestructive ultrasonic testing of spruce lumber. The direct method using 54 kHz ultrasonic transducers was applied to two planes, namely, radial section (LR) and tangential section (LT) of samples. The indirect method measurements were taken using the same transducers. Two velocities were measured at the top and bottom of the LT plane and at the two sides of the LR plane; the two values for each plane were averaged. The relationship between density and ultrasound velocity in the direct method demonstrated a positive correlation between the two variables. The difference between the two planes, LT and LR, was not statistically significant. Moreover, the distance between the transducers in the indirect method affected ultrasound velocity, with the ultrasonic velocity increasing as the distance between the transducers became larger. A transducer distance of 200 mm yielded a close approximation of the direct method results with a ratio of 0.87. Finally, no statistical evidence of a difference between the two planes in the indirect method was found. If the direct method, which requires access to two surfaces, is impractical, the indirect method can be applied.

Measurement of elastic constants is crucial for engineering aspects of predicting the behavior of materials under load as well as structural health monitoring of material degradation. Ultrasonic velocity measurement for material properties has been broadly used as a nondestructive evaluation method for material characterization. In particular, pulse-echo method has been extensively utilized as it is not only simple but also effective when only one side of the inspected objects is accessible. However, the conventional technique in this approach measures longitudinal and shear waves individually to obtain their velocities. This produces a set of two data for each measurement. This paper proposes a simultaneous sensing system of longitudinal waves and shear waves for elastic constant measurement. The proposed system senses both these waves simultaneously as a single overlapped signal, which is then analyzed to calculate both the ultrasonic velocities for obtaining elastic constants. Therefore, this system requires just half the number of data to obtain elastic constants compared to the conventional individual measurement. The results of the proposed simultaneous measurement had smaller standard deviations than those in the individual measurement. These results validate that the proposed approach improves the efficiency and reliability of ultrasonic elastic constant measurement by reducing the complexity of the measurement system, its operating procedures, and the number of data.

본 연구에서는 우란바톨(Ulanbator)에서 북경(Beijing)사이의 지역에서 샘플링한 동결된 응회암 풍화토의 동적 특성을 규명하기 위해 풍화토와, 글래스비드(glass bead)를 대상으로 온도변화에 따른 초음파 속도를 sing-around 법을 사용하여 측정하였다. 본 실험을 통해 초음파 속도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 초음파 속도와 부동수분 사이에는 선형적인 관계가 존재함을 확인하였다. 또한 동결토의 초음파 실험결과, 종파가 시료의 종류에 크게 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 부동수분과 초음파 속도와의 관계규명에 적합하다고 판단된다.

석조문화재의 풍화훼손도를 평가하기 위해 초음파속도를 이용하는 방법은 현장적용 및 풍화도 평가가 용이하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 방법은 풍화가 진행되면 초음파 속도가 감소하는 특성을 이용해 신선암과 풍화암의 초음파속도 차이를 이용하여 풍화등급을 산정한다. 그러나 풍화등급 산정에서 신선암의 초음파속도를 암석의 산출지역과 관계없이 고정값(5,000 m/s)으로 사용하기 때문에 우리나라와 같이 동일한 암종에서도 다양한 속도가 나타나는 경우 많은 문제가 발생되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 석조문화재를 구성하는 대표 암종에 대하여 20종의 시편과 60개의 코어시료를 획득해 신선암의 초음파속도를 측정하여 데이터베이스(DB)를 구축하고 이를 보고하였다. 이 결과, 동일한 암종인 화강암 내에서도 초음파속도가 3,118에서 5,380 m/s까지 다양하게 나타나며 이를 무시하고 고정값을 사용할 경우 풍화등급 산정에 많은 오차를 발생시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 다음으로 측정 오차에 대한 보정을 위해, 현장측정에서 사용하는 두 가지 방법(직접법과 간접법)에 의해 속도를 측정하고 지역별 암종에 따른 보정계수를 산출하였는데 그 범위는 1.31에서 1.76까지 다양하게 나타났다. 그 외 측정온도, 장비운영자에 따른 초음파속도의 차이를 확인한 결과 그 차이가 오차범위 내에 있어 풍화도 평가에 미치는 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서 얻어진 초음파속도 DB와 측정보정계수를 실제 석조문화재인 봉황리 마애불상군에 적용한 결과, 풍화지수는 0.3으로 기존의 방법보다 0.1 정도 낮게 평가되었으며 풍화등급 또한 기존의 방법이 "상당히 풍화"로 판별하는 것에 비해 "중간정도의 풍화"로 차이가 나타났다. 동일한 문화재를 대상으로 한 다른 연구결과에서 중간정도의 풍화등급을 제시하고 있어 본 연구의 결과가 보다 정확한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 보다 정확한 풍화지수의 산정과 그에 따른 보존대책을 수립하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
