The effects of annealing temperature on the magnetic properties (maximum permeability, coercive force and remanence) and mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength and elongation at rupture) were analyzed using the nondestructive impulsive magnetic analyzer in a medium carbon cold rolled steel sheet. This nondestructive method was very useful for the analysis of magnetic and mechanical properties of materials. As it was known in the literature, the three distinct processes that indicate the recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth of a metal were measured with the non-destructive analyzer.

Deterioration of pavements or tunnels primarily from the existence of voids under the pavements or tunnel linings. To detect these voids effectively by non-destructive testes, a method using radar was proposed. In this research, the detection of shape of voids by radar image processing is investigate. The experiments and simulation were conducted to detect voids in or under concrete pavements for tunnel linings) with reinforcing bars. From the results, the fundamental algorithm for tracing the voids, improving the horizontal resolution of the object image and detecting shape of objects, was verified.

Recently, to obtain the reliable data on the state of the structure, various non-destructive techniques are available. The infrared thermography technique is used in detection of cracks, flaws of concrete structures and buildings. In this paper the infrared thermography technique using the difference of surface temperature was studied. Also this paper is case study that the inspection of building's tile using infrared thermal video.

This experimental study was performed to derive the relationship between the measured values(corrosion potential) and the actual amount of corrosion products(reinforcing steel weight loss rate). Also the growth of crack due to the steel corrosion was oberved. First, the reinforcing steel of R/C specimen was corroded with chloride penetration and accelerated galvanostatic corrosion method. And then, the corrosion potential of reinforcing steel was measured with nondestructive tester.

Backside defect of plate structure may grow due to fatigue or overload to cause critical failure during operation, so it is important to detect this kind of defect in line. For this purpose, nondestructive, non-contact and highly sensitive method is required. ESPI and Shearography are considered as useful method to satisfy these requirements. In this paper, the possibility of application of ESPI and Shearography to detect the backside defect of steel plate and to quantify the defect size was tested. For the experiment, some steel plates with defect on the backside were prepared. Experimental results for these plates showed that location and size of defect could be detected correctly by both of ESPI and Shearography.

Computer is a very powerful machine which is widely using for data processing, DB construction, peripheral device control, image processing etc. Consequently, many researches and developments have progressed for high performance processing unit, and other devices. Especially, the core units such as semiconductor parts are rapidly growing so that high-integration, high-performance, microminiat turization is possible. The packaging in the semiconductor industry is very important technique to de determine the performance of the system that the semiconductor is used. In this paper, the inspection of the inner defects such as delamination, void, crack, etc. in the semiconductor packages is studied. ESPI which is a non-contact, non-destructive, and full-field inspection method is used for the inner defect inspection and its results are compared with that of C-Scan method.

Rock bolts have been installed into rockmass as a main support system. In order to evaluate the rock bolt integrity using non-destructive technique, the transmission method of the guided ultrasonic wave has been successfully performed. For the transmission method, however, the source for the generation o# guided ultrasonic waves should be installed at the end of the steel bar during construction of the rock bolt in the field. The purpose of this study is to suggest a reflection method that the source and the receiver are installed on the head of the steel bar. The reflection method is compared with the transmission method using non-embedded rock bolts and rock bolts embedded in concrete block. In this experiment, the piezo disc element is used as the source and the AE sensor is used as the receiver. The wavelet transform is applied to determine the energy velocity. The experimental studies show that the reflection method produces almost identical value of the transmission method, and the energy velocity increases with the defect ratio. This study suggests that the reflection method of the guided ultrasonic wave may be a suitable method fur the rock bolt integrity evaluation in the field.

Mechanical properties of in-service facilities are required to evaluate the integrity of power plants and chemical plants. Non-destructive technique can be used to evaluate the mechanical properties. To investigate the mechanical properties using ultrasonic technique, the four classes of thermally aged specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. Ultrasonic tests, tensile tests, fracture toughness tests, and hardness tests were performed for the specimens. Then the mechanical properties were compared with ultrasonic parameters such as attenuation and non-linear parameter. From the investigation, we confirm that the ultrasonic parameter can be used to evaluate the mechanical properties.

Several non-destructive test methods have been developed to estimate compressive strength of concrete in other countries. However, their applications are limited in domestic concrete due to their inaccuracies. The purpose of this study is to propose an aging coefficient of compressive strength of structural concrete in rebound number method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method for domestic concrete. The test variables include type of aggregate, curing condition, and compressive strength. Two approaches are used to estimate aging coefficient. One is evaluated by uniform linear regression equation for all ages and shows uniform strength reduction coefficient regardless of material properties and the other is evaluated by individual regression equation for each ages and shows nonuniform strength reduction and rebound increasing coefficients which decrease with increasing of rebound number and compressive strength. The latter result which can include the effect of rebound number and compressive strength is more resonable than the former.

This study on the bolt elongation and torque measuring method by ultrasonic nod-destructive method. In the past, The dial gage was used for the elongation measurement of gas turbine bolts. The purpose of this study is to improve the traditional bolt elongation measurement method. The old method using dial gage measures the elongation of the gas turbine bolt. If the length differences among the loading bolts are within the required range, The loading torques of bolts consider as acceptable. But this method can not give the information about torque differences among the loading bolts. It could bring out vibration of turbine due to loading torque differences among the bolts. So the elongation and torque must be measured simultaneously. The new technology using ultrasonic non-destructive method can give the information about bolt elongation and torque. The ultrasonic method basically measures the speed in the bolt material for the calculation the bolt elongation. But the ultrasonic speed varies according to temperature and loading torque of bolts. So the factors of temperature and loading power were investigated and reflected to the calculation of bolt elongation and torque. The results of this study shows the big difference among the bolts torque in the old method and the torque differences among the bolts can be adjusted by reflecting the result of this study. And this torque adjusting method can decrease gas turbine vibration problem due to torque difference among the bolts. So this paper shows ultrasonic method is better than old method for the measurement of bolt elongation and torque.
