알칼리화강암으로 구성된 경주 남산 삼릉계곡 선각육존불 주변 암반을 대상으로 보존처리제 성능을 평가하였다. 이 연구에 적용된 보존처리제는 에틸실리케이트 계열의 암석 강화용 처리제와 에폭시 계열의 수지이다. 처리과정은 에폭시 계열의 수지를 박리면에 주입 후 암석 강화용 처리제를 총 3차례 도포 하였으며, 처리 전과 후의 물성 변화를 비교하기 위해 초음파 속도를 측정하였다. 초음파속도 측정 결과, 박리면 주변의 저속도대는 강화제 및 충전제 처리 후 평균 27.8%의 속도 증가가 나타났다. 이 결과는 석조문화재에 대한 보존처리제의 강화 효과를 입증하는 것으로서, 최소 3회 정도를 처리하는 것이 효과를 극대화 시키는 것으로 나타났다.

An ultrasonic linear motors consist of a slider and an ultrasonic vibrator which generates an elliptical oscillations. The ultrasonic linear motors mainly consist of an ultrasonic vibrator which generates elliptical oscillations. The ultrasonic linear motor fabricated in this paper was the use of the 1st longitudinal(L1) and 4th bending vibrations(B4). In order to low driving voltage and improve the life time of the ultrasonic motor, we used stacked piezoceramics. Stacked piezoceramics are adhered to aluminum elastic material. The finite element method was used to optimize dimension of ultrasonic vibrator and direction of vibratory displacement. As a result of estimating the characteristics of the ultrasonic linear motor, no-load velocity was 0.204[m/s] when applied voltage was 70[ $V_{rms}$] in resonance frequency.y.

Ultrasonic knives have been successfully used for the surgery of many medical fields. However, the conventional ultrasonic knives for surgical operation cannot be controlled its resonant frequency. So if the material to cut has different characteristic impedance then different ultrasonic knife will be needed. Because the optimum driving frequency of ultrasonic knife is different by characteristic impedance of material. In this work, using a frequency variable ultrasonic transducer made of multi-layered PZT vibrator, a frequency controllable ultrasonic knife will be suggested. The design and computation principles will be also derived. For this work, firstly, the characteristics of this ultrasonic knife will be analyzed by transmission line model equivalent circuit, and the free admittance characteristics and vibrational velocity distributions will be obtained. Secondly, we will design and make the frequency controllable electrical oscillator for driving this ultrasonic knife.

Cast iron pipe has been used as a water distribution technology in North America since the early nineteenth century. The first cast iron pipes were made of grey cast iron which was succeeded by ductile iron as a pipe material in the 1940s. These different iron alloys have significantly different microstructures which give rise to distinct mechanical properties. Insight into the non-destructive structural condition assessment of aging pipes can be advantageous in developing mitigation strategies for pipe failures. This paper examines the relationship between the small-strain and large-strain properties of exhumed cast iron water pipes. Nondestructive and destructive testing programs were performed on eight pipes varying in age from 40 to 130 years. The experimental program included microstructure evaluation and ultrasonic, tensile, and flexural testing. New applications of frequency domain analysis techniques including Fourier and wavelet transforms of ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements are presented. A low correlation between wave propagation and large-strain measurements was observed. However, the wave velocities were consistently different between ductile and grey cast iron pipes (14% to 18% difference); the ductile iron pipes showed the smaller variation in wave velocities. Thus, the variation of elastic properties for ductile iron was not enough to define a linear correlation because all the measurements were practically concentrated in single cluster of points. The cross-sectional areas of the specimens tested varied as a result of minor manufacturing defects and levels of corrosion. These variations affect the large strain testing results; but, surface defects have limited effect on wave velocities and may also contribute to the low correlations observed. Lamb waves are typically not considered in the evaluation of ultrasonic pulse velocity. However, Lamb waves were found to contribute significantly to the frequency content of the ultrasonic signals possibly resulting in the poor correlations observed. Therefore, correlations between wave velocities and large strain properties obtained using specimens manufactured in the laboratory must be used with caution in the condition assessment of aged water pipes especially for grey cast iron pipes.

The pipelines and equipments are degraded by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), and a large-scale test facility was constructed for simulate the FAC phenomena in secondary coolant environment of PWR type nuclear power plants. Using this facility, FAC test was performed on weld pipe (carbon steel and low alloy steel) at the conditions of high velocity flow (> 10 m/s). Wall thickness was measured by high temperature ultrasonic monitoring systems (four-channel buffer rod type and waveguide type) during test period and room temperature manual ultrasonic method before and after test period. This work deals with the complex effects of flow velocity on the wall thinning in weld pipe and the test results showed that the higher flow velocity induced different increasement of wall thinning rate for the carbon steel and low alloy steel pipe.

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.

This essay is a general review of the application of ultrasonic NDE techniques to the performance assessment and characterization of composite materials. A brief review of ultrasonic input-output characterization of a composite plate by shear waves is presented. A theoretical development of ultrasonic wave propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media excited, respectively, by a circular transducer and an oscillatory point source is summarized. Some experimental results are described in which ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements give insight into material degradation of fatigued composite laminates. Ultrasonic determination of the elastic constants of a composite plate and an experimental attempt at ultrasonic testing of an isotropic plate containing a crack are also included. A recent effort for the characterization of viscoelastic materials using the ultrasonic NDE technique is outlined. Finally, the reliability of ultrasonic NDE is briefly touched upon.

This paper descirbes about effects of refraction of ultrasonic beam on B-mode tomogram. Both compution based on Snell's law and the experiments performed using B-mode scanner and schlieren optical method are discussed on a circular phantom immersed in water. In these results, if the discrepancy of sound velocity is more than 0. 6%, the distortion of the B-mode image becomes conspicuous and a target beyound the phantom may disappear or displayed as two targets depending on the velocity of the phantom.

Development on non-destructive testing methods were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of crack repair for test beams induced a crack. Cracked beams are repaired with expoxy and microcement, and then they are tested by two methods, the ultrasonic pulse velocity method and the transfer function method. It is proved that the ultrasonic pulse velocity method is very valid for the evaluation of the effectiveness on expoxy repair, and the transfer function method is very applicable to evaluate the effectiveness on microcement repair.
