The NDT(Non-Destructive Testing) is valid for the defect detection of rolling stocks because it can be used to detect the defect in many invisible parts. For example, fatigue cracks are initiated in press fit parts that suffer from fretting fatigue damage such as the wheel seat and the NDT technique can detect those cracks. But the conventional ICFPD method can not apply to detect such cracks in press fit parts of the axle by some technical problems. In this study, we have introduced the new concept ICFPD method that can be applied in press fit parts of the axle. And we have shown the basic techniques of FEM about the new concept ICFPD method.

The railway system requires safety and reliability of service of all railway vehicles. Suitable technical systems and working methods adapted to it, which meet the requirements on safety and good order of traffic, should be maintained. For detection of defects, non-destructive testing methods-which should be quick, reliable and cost-effective - are most often used. Since failure in railway wheelset can cause a disaster, regular inspection of defects in wheels and axles are mandatory. Ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission and eddy current testing method and so on regularly check railway wheelset in service. However, it is difficult to detect a crack initiation clearly with ultrasonic testing due to noise echoes. It is necessary to develop a non-destructive technique that is superior to conventional NDT techniques in order to ensure the safety of railway wheelset. In the present paper, the new NDT technique is applied to the detection of surface defects for railway wheelset. To detect the defects for railway wheelset, the sensor for defect detection is optimized and the tests are carried out with respect to surface and internal defects each other. The results show that the surface crack depth of 1.5 mm in press fitted axle and internal crack in wheel could be detected by using the new method. The ICFPD method is useful to detect the defect that initiated in railway wheelset.

The structural state of a bridge is currently examined by visual inspection or by wired sensor techniques, which are relatively expensive, vulnerable to inclement conditions, and time consuming to undertake. In contrast, wireless sensor networks are easy to deploy and flexible in application so that the network can adjust to the individual structure. Different sensing techniques have been used with such networks, but the acoustic emission technique has rarely been utilized. With the use of acoustic emission (AE) techniques it is possible to detect internal structural damage, from cracks propagating during the routine use of a structure, e.g. breakage of prestressing wires. To date, AE data analysis techniques are not appropriate for the requirements of a wireless network due to the very exact time synchronization needed between multiple sensors, and power consumption issues. To unleash the power of the acoustic emission technique on large, extended structures, recording and local analysis techniques need better algorithms to handle and reduce the immense amount of data generated. Preliminary results from utilizing a new concept called Acoustic Emission Array Processing to locally reduce data to information are presented. Results show that the azimuthal location of a seismic source can be successfully identified, using an array of six to eight poor-quality AE sensors arranged in a circular array approximately 200 mm in diameter. AE beamforming only requires very fine time synchronization of the sensors within a single array, relative timing between sensors of $1{\mu}s$ can easily be performed by a single Mote servicing the array. The method concentrates the essence of six to eight extended waveforms into a single value to be sent through the wireless network, resulting in power savings by avoiding extended radio transmission.

There are various Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) techniques used for measurement of residual stresses in material, such as magnetic methods, X-ray diffraction, Ultrasonic velocity measurement etc. The capabilities, applications and limitations of these techniques for evaluation of cold work/plastic deformation were studied and compared. Mild steel plates were subjected to different degree of cold deformation and were analyzed by Magneto-mechanical Acoustic Emission (MAE), Barkhausen Noise (BN) and magnetic properties (hysteresis loop parameters analysis). Further, these specimens were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and ultrasonic velocity measurements. The microhardness measurement and microstructure studies of these cold worked plates were also carried out. The results of all these studies and comparison of different techniques are discussed in this paper.

국내의 앵커볼트 일반 비파괴 검사법은 육안검사와 타음검사를 적용하고 있으나, 육안검사는 기초에 포함된 부분이나 너트 및 베이스 플레이트가 설치된 부분에서 앵커볼트의 부식이나 피로균열 등을 확인하는 것이 어렵다. 타음검사는 주변 환경과 개인차에 의한 영향을 받기 때문에 객관적인 조사가 어려운 것이 현실이므로 이러한 결함을 정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 비파괴 검사 기술개발이 필요하다. 국내 도로시설물 앵커볼트의 점검은 육안조사를 수행하고 있으며, 교량받침, 낙교방지시설 등의 앵커볼트 중요도가 높으므로 기존 점검방법과 함께 비파괴검사 기술을 개발하여 앵커볼트의 예방정비를 통해 교량 수명연장에 기여할 필요가 있다. 본 기술 개발을 통해 현재 수행하고 있지 않은 앵커볼트의 비파괴검사를 수행함으로 도로시설물 앵커볼트의 선제적/능동적 유지관리가 가능한 기술로 연구개발 및 실용화가 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 비파괴 검사 기법 중 초음파탐상법(Ultrasonic test)을 적용하여 부식, 균열 등 앵커볼트의 결함 검출 가능성 및 실뢰도를 실험적으로 검증하였다. 기술 개발이 완성되면 검사 신뢰성 향상 원천기술 확보로 앵커볼트에 대한 선제적/능동적 유지관리의 실현이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

For the structural integrity of large and complex structures such as railway vehicle, the in-field diagnosis of mechanical properties of the structures is needed, and especially, the mechanical characteristics of the weldment must be carefully evaluated. But, conventional standard testing methods having destructive procedures are not applicable to in-field assessment of mechanical property variations within weldment because they needs the limitations of specimen size and geometry. In this paper, to overcome this problems, the advanced indentation technique (AIS) is introduced for simple and non-destructive/in-field testing of weldment of industrial structures. This test measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation and fracture. First of all, flow properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and work hardening index can be evaluated through the analysis of the deformation behavior beneath the spherical indenter. Additionally, case studies of advanced indentation techniques are introduced.

Purpose: Methods for non-destructive estimation of product quality have been reported in various industrial fields, but the application of ultrasonic techniques for the agricultural products of potatoes, pears, apples, watermelons, kiwis and tomatoes etc. have been rarely reported since the application of a contact-type ultrasonic transducer in agricultural products is very difficult. Therefore, this study sought to determine the firmness of apples using non-contact ultrasonic techniques. Methods: For this experiment, an ultrasonic experimental tester using a non-contact ultrasonic transducer was created, and a signal processing program was used to analyze the acquired ultrasonic reflected signal. Also, a universal testing machine was used to measure firmness parameters of the apples such as bioyield strength, a firmness factor, after the ultrasonic tests had been performed. Results: Six distance correction factors were calculated to obtain consistent values of ultrasonic properties regardless of the distance between the transducer and the surface of the subject. We developed prediction models of the bioyield strength using the distance correction factors. Conclusions: The optimum prediction model of the bioyield strength of apples using a non-contact ultrasonic technique was a multiple regression model ($R^2=0.9402$).

울산 하대유적에서 출토된 민고리자루칼을 방사선 비파괴조사와 미세조직 분석으로 환두부의 제작 방법과 재질 특성을 살펴보았다. 방사선 비파괴 조사법으로(X-ray, CT) 내부 구조를 확인한 결과, 제작 방법의 기본형식은 철 단일 소재로 칼 끝부터 환두부까지 일체형으로 제작한 단조품임을 확인하였다. 또한 미세조직 분석을 통해 살펴 본 제작기술은 '순철-형태가공, 순철-형태가공-침탄, 강-형태가공-담금질'의 세 가지 유형으로 분류할 수 있었다. 민고리자루칼 5점 중 4점의 환두부는 약 0.7% 내외인 공석강 정도의 탄소 함량을 가진다. 특히 환두부에서는 손잡이보다 증가된 탄소함량을 보이는데, 이는 손잡이 끝 부분을 세장한 형태로 만들고 둥글게 구부리는 과정에서 인성을 부여하기 위한 침탄 처리의 결과로 추정된다. 길이 60 cm 이하의 민고리자루칼 1점은 날 부위에 집중시킨 담금질을 통해 강한 인성을 부여하여 무기로서의 용도를 극대화시켰다. 반면 75 cm를 넘는 4점의 날 부위에서는 담금질 조직인 마르텐사이트가 관찰되지 않았다. 하지만 칼등 대비 날 부위의 탄소함량 증가나 결정립의 미세화는 실용기로서 사용이 가능했음을 보여준다. 2C말에서 4C초로 편년되는 울산 하대고분군 출토 민고리자루칼은 단조기술을 통해 일체형으로 제작하였으며, 사용 목적에 따라 제강, 열처리 기술을 적용하여 칼이 가지는 용도의 효과를 극대화시켜 제작하였다.
