Research on Lamb wave-based damage identification in plate-like structures depends on precise knowledge of dispersive wave velocity. However, boundary reflections with the same frequency of interest and greater amplitude contaminate direct waves and thus compromise measurement of Lamb wave dispersion in different materials. In this study, non-reflecting boundaries were proposed in both numerical and experimental cases to facilitate time-frequency characterization of Lamb wave dispersion. First, the Lamb wave equations in isotropic and laminated materials were analytically solved. Second, the non-reflecting boundaries were used as a series of frames with gradually increased damping coefficients in finite element models to absorb waves at boundaries while avoiding wave reflections due to abrupt property changes of each frame. Third, damping clay was sealed at plate edges to reduce the boundary reflection in experimental test. Finally, the direct waves were subjected to the slant-stack and short-time Fourier transformations to calculate the dispersion curves of phase and group velocities, respectively. Both the numerical and experimental results suggest that the boundary reflections are effectively alleviated, and the dispersion curves generated by the time-frequency analysis are consistent with the analytical solutions, demonstrating that the combination of non-reflecting boundary and time-frequency analysis is a feasible and reliable scheme for characterizing Lamb wave dispersion in plate-like structures.

The water wave characteristics of Bragg reflections from a train of fixed floating pontoon breakwaters was studied numerically. A numerical model of boundary discretization type was developed to calculate the wave field. The model was verified by comparing to analytical data in literature and good agreements were achieved. Series of parametric studies were conducted systematically to investigate the dependence of the reflected coefficients by the Bragg scattering on the design variables, including the spacing between the breakwaters, the total number of installed breakwaters, the draft and width do the breakwater, and wave length. Certain wave characteristics of the Bragg reflections were observed and discussed in details which might be of help for practical engineering applications in shoreline protection from incident waves.

High rock-fill embankment is relatively flexible, which makes crest of embankment subject to excessive amplification in displacement due to earthquake loading. To overcome problems related with site response in high embankment, it is essential to evaluate shear-wave velocity profile of the embankment with improved accuracy and reliability. In this aspect, an experimental research was performed to answer how to perform surface-wave tests and to analyze measurements at an embankment site with a sloping ground surface. Unlike flat ground surface, sloping ground may hamper and slow down propagation of surface waves due to multiple reflections and refractions in embankment. To figure out this reasoning for the effect of multiple reflections and refractions due to sloping surface, surface wave tests were performed at a reservoir embankment of Chung-Song in North KyeongSang Province. Parameters involved in surface wave tests at non-flat surface, including source directionality, geometry-related constraint and frequency components in source function, were investigated using field measurements.

Wave flumes are usually equipped with a wave generator at one end and a wave absorber at the other end. The absorbers could be broadly classified into two main categories： active and passive wave absorbers. A typical passive wave absorber to eliminate unwanted reflections is the beach of constant or varying slopes reaching the bottom. (omitted)

최근 외해의 파랑을 막기 위한 방파시설로 유공방파제가 다수 설치되고 있다. 일반적으로 유공방파제는 전면에 유공격실을 설치하여 유공에서 난류를 발생을 유도하여 반사파를 저감하고, 최대 파력도 저감하는 목적을 지닌다. 유공벽은 폭풍파에 직접 노출되어 있어 쇄파 발생시 충격적인 파압이 작용될 수 있어 설계 시 유의하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제가 없는 공진수로를 이용한 새로운 개념의 유공방파제를 제안하고, 중요 설계변수 변화에 대하여 제안한 시스템의 반사특성을 수치적으로 모의하였다. 수치해석은 유공판을 통과하면서 발생하는 난류에 의한 에너지 소모효과를 고려할 수 있는 선형 포텐셜 이론에 기초한 Galerkin 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 수행하였다. 유공판의 유공율에 따른 반사율 변화를 살펴보았다.

본 논문에서는 다양한 물질에 접촉해 있는 여러 형태의 동축선 끝단에서의 전파반사를 FDTD 방법으로 해석하였다. 3차원의 해석 구조를 2차원 원통 좌표계로 변환하여 매우 효율적으로 계산할 수 있었다. FDTD 계산결과를 통하여, 주파수가 높아지거나 또는 동축선로의 직경이 증가할 때 동축선 끝단에서의 반사크기가 줄어든다는 것을 알았다. 이 방법을 적용하여 다층 구조에서의 전파반사도 해석하였으며, 측정결과와 이론식을 이용하여 본 해석 방법을 검증하였다.

The consistency of the initially designed waves in the domain is essential for accurate calculation of the added resistance in waves through CFD. In particular, unwanted reflected waves at domain boundaries can cause incorrect numerical solutions due to the superposition with initially designed waves. Euler Overlay Method(EOM) is one of the methods for reducing wave reflections by adding an additional source term to momentum and phase conservation equations, respectively. In this study, we apply the Euler Overlay Method(EOM) to the open-source CFD library, OpenFOAM(R), to simulate the accurate free-surface waves in the domain and the parametric study is performed for efficient implementation of Euler Overlay Method(EOM). Considering that the damping efficiency depends on the selection of the overlay parameter in the added source terms, the size of overlay zone and the wave steepness, the influences of these factors are tested through the wave elevation measured at constant time intervals in the 2D numerical wave tank. Through this process, guidelines for selection of optimal overlay parameter and overlay zone size that can be applied according to the scaling law are finally presented.

A new method of laser remote sensing is proposed, based on sensing the sea surface by a narrow laser beam (2-3cm) and analyzing statistically specular reflections. Construction of the angular dependency of the average density of specks versus the aircraft flight horizontal azimuth allows calculation of both intensity and azimuthal properties of the sea surface spectrum. The paper contains the experimental setup and technique, the field measurement data taken onboard an aircraft and the examples of calculated main statistical parameters of sea waves. Their energy-carrying component velocity is found by the mean velocity of an ensemble of specular points at the random sea surface. The surface wave nonlinearity is shown to affect substantially the statistical characteristics measured: mean numbers of specular areas with th given elevation and given slope, arranged along the line of crossing the sea surface by the scanning laser beam. Experimental measurement of a variance in the number of these areas yields a principal possibility to calculate the correlation function of the sea surface without its preliminary modeling.

자기변형 탐촉자는 유도초음파를 적용한 장거리 배관 검사 시에 유용하게 사용되는데 특히 그 신호패턴이 배열형 압전탐촉자를 사용한 유도초음파 신호보다 깨끗하고 단순하기 때문에 단일 결함에 의한 신호패턴을 해석할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 결함 신호의 진행 상황을 분석함으로써 배관의 구조 건전성 감시(structural health monitoring)에도 사용되고 있다. 그러나 실제 현장 검사에서는 유도초음파의 방향성신호, 잔향효과, 모드변환, 구조물 등에 의한 의사 신호 또는 거짓 신호가 나타나기 때문에 결함 평가 시에 주의를 요한다. 본 연구에서는 실제 상황을 모의한 장거리배관 mock-up에서 발생하는 모드변환 신호를 실험적으로 검증하고 해석하였다. 자기변형 스트립 탐촉자에서 발생한 비틀림진동 T(0,1) 모드와 휨진동 F(1,3) 모드 또는 종진동 L(0,2) 모드 간에 모드변환이 발생함을 확인하였고 이러한 모드변환이 발생하는 원인을 스트립 탐촉자 및 검사대상체의 전자기적 재료 특성 및 구조 측면에서 해석하였다.

Numerical simulation based on the superposition of ring waves generated by the linear periodic source distributions for the plunger type wave maker was accomplished. The characteristics of directional spreading function were investigated. Mirror images are also introduced to consider reflections of side-wall together with the reflection coefficient to account for the imperfect reflection from the real side wall in the long experimental towing tank. Unexpected spurious waves, resulting from the combined effect of finite breadth of segmented wave maker, wavelength and main wave maker, wavelength and main wave propagating direction, were observed in the line source method and also in the analysis of the directivity. The influence of spurious waves to the directional spreading function was also investigated.
