In this work, the guided wave de-bonding area-detecting technique was studied for application to containment liner plates in nuclear power plant areas. To apply this technique, an appropriate Lamb wave mode, symmetric and longitudinal dominance, was verified by the frequency shifting technique. The S0 2.7 MHz mm Lamb wave mode was chosen to realize quantitative experimental results and their visualization. Results of the bulk wave, longitudinal wave mode, and comparison experiments indicate that the wave mode was able to distinguish between the de-bonded and bonded areas. Similar to the bulk wave cases, the bonded region could be distinguished from the de-bonded region using the Lamb wave approach. The Lamb wave technique results showed significant correlation to the de-bonding area. As the de-bonding area increased, the Lamb wave energy attenuation effect decreased, which was a prominent factor in the realization of quantitative tomographic visualization. The feasibility of tomographic visualization was studied via the application of Lamb waves. The reconstruction algorithm for the probabilistic inspection of damage (RAPID) technique was applied to the containment liner plate to verify and visualize the de-bonding condition. The results obtained using the tomography image indicated that the Lamb wave-based RAPID algorithm was capable of delineating debonding areas.

발전설비의 보수검사에 적용하기 위한 예비 연구로 comb transducer를 이용한 파이프 내에서의 유도초음파 모드의 거동을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 유도초음파의 모드식별은 STFT와 WT에 의한 시간-주파수해석을 통하여 최적의 모드를 선정하였다. 시간-주파수해석과 이론적 해석 방법인 분산 곡선을 비교한 결과 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었으며, pitch-catch법과 선단부로부터 반사된 신호를 모드 분석한 결과 L(0,1) 모드가 다른 모드에 비해 모드변환에 의한 영향이 적었다. 따라서 L(0,1)을 최적의 모드로 선정하고, 결함위치를 추정한 결과 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 박판 용접부 결함 검출 기법의 확립을 위해서 실시된 기초 연구로서, 전기강판 소재의 모재에 인위적인 결함을 작성하고, 이론 및 시험적 결과를 이용하여 결함을 검출하기 위한 최적의 조건과 임계 검출 결함 크기를 조사한 것이다. 이를 위해서 소재의 dispersion curve를 구하고, 두께 2.4mm의 박판에 대해서 tone burst방식에 의한 초음파 탐상을 실시하였다. 실험적 검토를 행한 결과 840kHz의 가진 주파수와 30도 그리고 85도의 입사각이 최적의 탐상 조건임을 알았다. 한편, 초음파의 속도와 dispersion커브를 비교 검토하여 본 바, 30도의 입사각에서 발생하여 전파하는 초음파는 symmetic mode이고 85도의 입사각에서는 antisymmetric mode의 파가 전파하고 있었다. 결함의 위치와 형상에 따라 반사파의 특성이 다르게 나타나고 있었으며, 특히 표면 결함의 경우에는 antisymmetric 모드의 초음파가 symmetric 모드 보다 높은 반사파 에너지를 나타내고 있었다. 또한 이러한 초음파 모드의 종류와 결함 검출과의 관계에 대해서는 유도파의 구조에 의해서 설명이 가능했다.

A novel passive TE/TM polarization mode converter is fabricated by using poled polymer waveguides. The optic axis of the poling induced waveguide is slowly rotated by using a slowly varying structure of poling electrodes. Thus the polarization conversion is achieved as the guided mode propagates through the waveguide. The proposed device is simulated by a full vectorial beam propagation method (VBPM) for anisotropic medium. For the rotation length of 1 mm, the TE polarization of the guided mode is successfully converted to the TM polarization with negligible loss. Based on the simulation results, we fabricated the polarization converter which is tested by using 1.3 $\mu$m laser diode. TE to TM mode conversion is observed with a polarization extinction ratio higher than 30 dB, and the excess loss is less than 1 dB. The polarization conversion is relatively insensitive to wavelength since the device contains no periodic structures. These devices are easier to fabricate than others containing periodic structures.

We investigated the preparation and guided-mode properties of $Ti:LiNbO_3$ waveguides which were fabricated by Ti in-diffusion. The diffusion method to reduce the Li out-diffusion was proposed. The optical guided-mode and propagation loss based on butt-coupling pigtailed with PMF-input were measured. How to improve the polishing grade of waveguide endfaces is newly proposed in this paper. To show the mode propagations, the BPM simulations of channel waveguide are described.

A low-cost BLDC motor with hall sensor is used to drive the position control of a facility security monitoring system in this paper. Low measurable frequency of the hall sensor signal in low-speed regions results in difficulty in obtaining accurate speed detection and position control. To improve system control performance, we propose a variable gain of position controller and stop mode control scheme according to the motor speed and error position with pre-set deceleration time. The proposed stop mode control scheme is activated around the stop position to forcibly move the BLDC motor to the stop position in low speed. In the proposed stop mode, the motor current is controlled by the actual speed with the reference rotating angle. The control performance of the proposed position control is verified through experiments at the actual rail guided facility security monitoring system.

The generation of axisymmetric Lamb waves and interaction with wall thinning (corrosion) defects in hollow cylinders are simulated using the finite element method. Guided wave interaction with defects in cylinders is challenged by the multi-mode dispersion and the mode conversion. In this paper, two longitudinal, axisymmetric modes are generated using the concept of a time-delay periodic ring arrays (TDPRA), which makes use of the constructive/destructive interference concept to achieve the unidirectional emission and reception of guided waves. The axisymmetric scattering by the wall thinning extending in full circumference of a cylinder is studied with a two-dimensional FE simulation. The effect of wall thinning depth, axial extension, and the edge shape on the reflections of guided waves is discussed.

We calculate optical properties of guided modes of a hybrid-guiding photonic crystal fiber. The design and modeling of such hybrid-guiding PCF is made by replacing air holes with inserts of high refractive index material layer by layer in order. The optical properties such as mode intensity profile, mode dispersion, optical birefringence, confinement loss, and chromatic dispersion during transition of the guiding mechanism are analyzed and discussed. The guided modes in the hybrid-guiding region are also compared with those of reference index-guiding and bandgap-guiding photonic crystal fibers.

We present an analysis of highly-dispersive guided modes of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides. By the plane ave expansion method, band structures and mode profiles of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides are obtained. It is found that guided modes have very small group velocities and very large group velocity dispersions in the region near the f-point and in the region near the Brillouin zone edge. Especially, the group velocity dispersions are found to be millions of times larger than that of a conventional optical fiber. The contributions of the transverse resonance formed by two photonic band gap reflectors and the standing wave mode formed by periodic structures are discussed. We conclude that the highly-dispersive characteristics originate from the resonator-like aspect of the photonic crystal waveguide.
