  • 본 논문에서는 고강도 집속형 초음파의 주파수 특성(파형)에 따른 초음파 공동 현상을 억 제하는 효과를 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 세가지 파형, 즉, 정현파(1 MHz, 5 MPa), 주파수 변조파(10 ㎲ 동안 1 MHz에서 6 MHz까지 선형적으로 증가, 5 MPa), 비대칭 충격파(기 본 주파수 1 MHz, 양압 12 MPa, 음압 -4 MPa)를 고려하였다. 동일한 강도(833 W/㎠)를 가지는 각 초음파에 노출된 초기 반경이 1 ㎛인 물 속에 있는 공기 기포의 반응을Gilmore bubble dynamic model 및 Church's rectified gas diffusion equation을 이용하여 예측하였다. 기포 진동의 크기는, 정현파에 노출된 경우와 비교하여, 주파수 변조된 초음파의 경우 현저히 감소하였고, 비대칭 충격파의 경우 약간 감소함을 볼 수 있었다. 흥미롭게도 주파수 변조파에 대한 기포의 반응은 변조된 초음파의 주파수 성분이 기포의 공진 주파수(3 MHz) 이상에서는 거의 동일하게 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 이 사실은 주파수 변조를 현재의 1 MHz부터 6 MHz까지에서 1 MHz부터 3 MHz까지로 줄여도 유사한 공동 억제 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 암시한다. 실용적으로, 비교적 좁은 밴드 폭을 가지는 범용 초음파 변환기를 이 용하여 초음파의 공동 현상 억제 효과를 얻기 위한 주파수 변조를 구현할 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과는 초음파의 적절한 주파수 성분 조절로 초음파의 공동 현상을 일정 수준 억제할 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Primary radiation force on ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) in a propagating and standing acoustic field was explored. A specific ultrasound contrast agent $Albunex^{(R)}$ and $Optison^{(R)}$ were chosen for simulation. The model was developed based on a shelled bubble model proposed by Church. The numerical simulation suggests that bubble translational motion is more significant in therapeutic ultrasound due to higher intensity and long pulse duration. Even a single cycle of a propagating wave of 4 MPa at 1 MHz can cause a bubble translational motion of greater than $1{\mu}m$ which is approximately one tenth of capillary. Hence, UCA characteristics can be significantly changed in therapeutic ultrasound without rapid bubble collapses.

  • 본 연구는 2020년 5월부터 2020년 12월까지 복부초음파 검사를 위해 내원한 101명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 횡파탄성측정검사법을 이용하여 초음파 검사 시 초음파 영상(에코 패턴, 비장비대, 간염) 소견에 따른 탄성도를 알아 알아보고자 하였다. 에코 패턴의 정상 그룹의 횡파탄성측정값은 5.75±1.58 kPa였으며, 에코 패턴의 비정상 그룹은 8.84±4.94 kPa로 에코 패턴 비정상 그룹에서 횡파탄성측정값이 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 정상 비장 크기에서 간 탄성도 값은 6.33±2.54 kPa였으며, 비장비대의 간 탄성도 값은 13.73±5.48 kPa로 나타났다. 비장비대일 경우 간 탄성도 값이 높게 나타났으며, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 비장 크기가 증가할수록 간 탄성도 값이 1.485배, 간염이 진행될수록 간 탄성도 값이 1.573배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 초음파 영상 소견과 횡파탄성측정법 간 일치도 분석 결과 Kappa 값이 0.922(p<0.05)로 높게 나타났으며, 두 검사 방법 간에 높은 일치도를 보였다. 간 초음파 소견과 함께 횡파탄성측정법 검사의 간 탄성도 값을 추가적으로 비교한다면 간 섬유화 진단에 있어 많은 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

  • 후방복사 레일리 표면파를 사용하여 부식피로에 의한 재료손상을 평가하였다. $25^{\circ}C$, 3.5 wt.% NaCl 수용액에서 TMCP 강재에 대하여 하중의 크기를 변화시키면서 부식피로 시험을 수행하였다. 각각의 시험편에 대해서 입사각에 따른 후방복사 초음파의 진폭변화를 측정하였다. 후방복사 프로파일이 최대가 되는 입사각으로부터 레일리 표면 탄성파의 속도를 결정하였는데, 부식피로 시험에서 파손수명이 길었던 시험편에서의 표면탄성파의 속도가 더 느렸다. 이 사실은 시험편 표면에 발생한 부식손상이 주로 부식환경에 놓인 시간에 의존함을 의미한다 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 후방복사된 레일리 표면 탄성파가 노후 재료의 부식손상을 비파괴적으로 평가하는데 유용한 도구임을 보여주었다.

  • Background: Multifidus muscle stiffness decreases in patients with lumbar intervertebral disk herniation; however, age-related changes in humans have not been reported. Objectives: The reliability of ultrasound shear wave elastography in dogs, and changes in the shear elastic modulus of the thoracolumbar multifidus muscle with aging in dogs, were investigated. Methods: Twelve beagle dogs were divided into 2 groups based on the age of onset of intervertebral disk herniation: young (aged not exceeding 2 years; 1.3 ± 0.6 years old, n = 5) and adult (4.9 ± 1.2 years old, n = 7). The shear elastic modulus of the multifidus muscle, from the thirteenth thoracic spine to the fourth lumbar spine, was measured using ultrasound shear wave elastography. The length, cross-sectional area and muscle to fat ratio of the multifidus muscle, and the grade of intervertebral disk degeneration, were assessed using radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging examinations. Results: The length and cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle increased caudally. In the young group, the shear elastic modulus of the multifidus muscle of the thirteenth thoracic spine was less than that of the third lumbar spine. In the adult group, the shear elastic modulus of the multifidus muscle of first and third lumbar spine was lower than that of the same site in the young group. Conclusions: Ultrasound can be used to measure shear wave elastography of the thoracolumbar multifidus in dogs. If the multifidus muscle stiffness decreases, we should consider age-related change.

  • The frequency dependency of Rayleigh surface wave is investigated indirectly by measuring the angular dependency of the backward radiation of the incident ultrasonic wave in two kinds of degraded specimens by scuffing or corrosion. Then, the frequency dependency is compared with the residual stress distribution or the corrosion-fatigue characteristics for the scuffed or corroded specimens, respectively. The width of the backward radiation profile increases with the increase of the variation in residual stress distribution for the scuffed specimens. In the corroded specimens, the profile width decreases with the increase of the effective aging layer thickness and is inversely proportional to the exponent, m, in the Paris' law that can predict the crack size increase due to fatigue. The result observed in this study demonstrates high potential of backward radiated ultrasound as a tool for nondestructive evaluation of subsurface gradient of material degradation generated by scuffing or corrosion.

  • A series of thermoplastic polymers and their blends were melt-processed with high intensity ultrasonic wave in an intensive mixer. For the effective transfer of ultrasonic energy, an experimental apparatus was specially designed so that polymer melt can directly contact with ultrasonic horn. It was observed that significant variations in the rheological properties of polymers occur due to the unique action of ultrasonic wave without any aid of chemical additives. It was also found that the direct sonication on immiscible polymer blends in melt state reduces the domain sizes considerably and stabilizes the phase morphology of the blends. The degree of compatibilization was strongly affected by viscosity ratio of the components and the morphology was stable after annealing in properly compatibilized blends. It is suggested that ultrasound assisted melt mixing can lead to in-situ copolymer formation between the components and consequently provide an effective route to compatibilize immiscible polymer blends.

  • In this paper, the applicability of an UET(ultrasound excited thermography) for a defect detection of the welded receptacle is described. An UET(ultrasound excited thermography) is a defect-selective and fast imaging tool for damage detection. A high power ultrasound-excited vibration energy with pulse durations of 280ms is injected into the outer surface of the welded receptacle made of Al material. An ultrasound vibration energy sent into the welded receptacle propagate inside the sample until they are converted into the heat in the vicinity of the defect. The injection of the ultrasound excited vibration energy results in heat generation so that the defect is turned into a local thermal wave transmitter. Its local heat emission is monitored by the thermal infrared camera. And they are processed by the image recording system. Measurement was performed on aluminum receptacle welded by using Nd:YAG laser. The observed thermal image revealed two area of defects along the welded seam.
