As pork consumption increases, rapid and accurate determination of porcine carcass grades at abattoirs has become important. Non-destructive, automated inspection methods have improved slaughter efficiency in abattoirs. Furthermore, the development of a calibration equation suitable for non-destructive inspection of domestic pig breeds may lead to rapid determination of pig carcass and more objective pork grading judgement. In order to increase the efficiency of pig slaughter, the correct estimation of the automated-method that can accommodate the existing pig carcass judgement should be made. In this study, the previously developed calibration equation was verified to confirm whether the estimated traits accord with the actual measured traits of pig carcass. A total of 1,069,019 pigs, to which the developed calibration equation, was applied were used in the study and the optimal estimated regression equation for actual measured two traits (backfat thickness and hot carcass weight) was proposed using the estimated traits. The accuracy of backfat thickness and hot carcass weight traits in the estimated regression models through stepwise regression analysis was 0.840 (R²) and 0.980 (R²), respectively. By comparing the actually measured traits with the estimated traits, we proposed optimal estimated regression equation for the two measured traits, which we expect will be a cornerstone for the Korean porcine carcass grading system.

Microcracks can rapidly grow and develop in high-strength steels used in offshore structures. It is important to render these microcracks harmless to ensure the safety and reliability of offshore structures. Here, the dependence of the aspect ratio (As) of the maximum depth of harmless crack (a_hlm) was evaluated under three different conditions considering the threshold stress intensity factor (Δk_th) and residual stress of offshore structural steel F690. The threshold stress intensity factor and fatigue limit of fatigue crack propagation, dependent on crack dimensions, were evaluated using Ando's equation, which considers the plastic behavior of fatigue and the stress ratio. a_hlm by peening was analyzed using the relationship between Δk_th obtained by Ando's equation and Δk_th obtained by the sum of applied stress and residual stress. The plate specimen had a width 2W = 12 mm and thickness t = 20 mm, and four value of As were considered: 1.0, 0.6, 0.3, and 0.1. The a_hlm was larger as the compressive residual stress distribution increased. Additionally, an increase in the values of As and Δk_th(l) led to a larger a_hlm. With a safety factor (N) of 2.0, the long-term safety and reliability of structures constructed using F690 can be secured with needle peening. It is necessary to apply a more sensitive non-destructive inspection technique as a non-destructive inspection method for crack detection could not be used to observe fatigue cracks that reduced the fatigue limit of smooth specimens by 50% in the three types of residual stresses considered. The usefulness of non-destructive inspection and non-damaging techniques was reviewed based on the relationship between a_hlm, a_NDI (minimum crack depth detectable in non-destructive inspection), a_{cr N} (crack depth that reduces the fatigue limit to 1/N), and As.

본 개발은 중간 크기 미만의 외형 결함을 검출함에 있어 X-Ray 광원을 사용하는 비파괴 장비이다. 본 연구개발물의 차별성은 X-Ray광원을 이용 중소형 생산제품들의 외부결함 유무를 실시간 검사할 수 있으며 표면 방사선 누설선량에 있으면서 검사 속도제어가 가능하다. 이를 소프트웨어로 해결하였다. 또한 작업 중 작업자 안전을 위해 도어 차단이 가능하고 동시에 장비 내부 구동 영상의 획인이 가능하다는 점이다. 이런 원리로 현재는 중소형 부품에서부터 크게는 컨테이너와 같은 검사시스템의 기반 기술로 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구는 자동차 산업 외에 다른 다양한 비파괴 시장 산업에 큰 영향을 미칠 것이다. 마지막으로 개발된 비파괴 장비는 $0.2Sv{\mu}$ 하에서 제어된다는 사실은 아주 중요한 사실이다.

This study examines a non-contact laser scanning-based ultrasound system, called an angular scan pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imager (A-PE-UPI), that uses coincided laser beams for ultrasonic sensing and generation. A laser Doppler vibrometer is used for sensing, while a diode pumped solid state (DPSS) Q-switched laser is used for generation of thermoelastic waves. A high-speed raster scanning of up to 10-kHz is achieved using a galvano-motorized mirror scanner that allows for coincided sensing and for the generation beam to perform two-dimensional scanning without causing any harm to the surface under inspection. This process allows for the visualization of longitudinal wave propagation through-the-thickness. A pulse-echo ultrasonic wave propagation imaging algorithm (PE-UWPI) is used for on-the-fly damage visualization of the structure. The presented system is very effective for high-speed, localized, non-contact, and non-destructive inspection of aerospace structures. The system is tested on an aluminum honeycomb sandwich with disbonds and a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) honeycomb sandwich with a layer overlap. Inspection is performed at a 10-kHz scanning speed that takes 16 seconds to scan a $100{\times}100mm^2$ area with a scan interval of 0.25 mm. Finally, a comparison is presented between angular-scanning and a linear-scanning-based pulse-echo UPI system. The results show that the proposed system can successfully visualize defects in the inspected specimens.

콘크리트 시공 이음부는 콘크리트 시공시 발생되는 기술적 문제들 중의 하나이다. 이 시공 이음부는 콘크리트의 구조적 측면뿐만 아니라 누수 등의 중대한 결함을 초래하게 되는 요인으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 콘크리트 구조물의 시공 이음부를 비파괴적으로 검사하기 위해 레이더법과 적외선법을 이용하였다. 대상부재로서는 콘크리트 기둥을 선정하여 본 방법들의 적용에 따른 여러 가지 형태의 시공 이음부의 검출특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 결과, 레이더법의 경우는 해석모델에 의한 모의해석을 실시하여 실제 측정치와 비교하여 해석할 경우, 시공 이음부에 대한 검출 정도를 보다 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 적외선법의 경우는 빛의 작용을 받지 못하는 실내조건 하에서도 측정 표면부를 사전 가열하여 측정하면 결함의 형상까지도 뚜렷이 식별하여 검출 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 이들 두 방법을 병행할 경우, 육안으로는 검사가 곤란한 콘크리트 시공 이음부에 대해 빠른 시간내에 넓은 대상의 구조물에 대해 효율적인 검사가 가능함이 입증되었다.

The Nuclear and Fossil Steam Turbines record a considerable number of failures annually. Some of these failures reported are as result of blade failure. The failure of the L-0 blade in a Steam Turbine is one of the most reported blade failure in Nuclear and Fossil steam turbines. This paper seeks to identify the best Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) method or methods to be used in the steam turbine L-0 blades inspection process. The development of systems engineering processes presents an opportunity to apply NDE inspection to the L-0 blades. This process apply computer modelling of the L-0 using ANSYS and by simulating the stresses experienced by the L-0 blade during operation it is possible to identify the most susceptible areas for crack formation and growth. The results from these models compared to industry data for validation. The analysis of these results used to predict the most probable failure location and failure modes. Therefore NDE inspection can be applied to these areas with greater degree of accuracy. This would be beneficial in the increasing the accuracy in the detection of cracks and hence save inspection time and the overall inspection cost. Furthermore, not only the location for crack formation and NDE inspection determined but also best the NDE inspection technique/techniques to be applied appropriately on the L-0 blade are prescribed.

안전점검 대상 노후 건축물이 증가함에 따라 안전관리 주체인 지정기관 및 관리주체의 부담이 증가하고 있다. 이에 안전점검 대상 건축물 선정에 있어 적절한 안전전검 기준과 그에 따르는 적절한 기술은 필수적이다. 현행 노후 건축물 대상 안전점검 수행 기준은 마감재로 인해 구조 부재 균열 등의 손상 확인이 어려울 경우 낮은 점수를 부여하고 있다. 이는 구조물의 실체 안전상태와 관계없이 평가 결과가 과소평가되어 안전점검 대상 노후화 건축물을 증가시키는 원인이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 마감재 내부의 균열 탐지를 위해 비파괴·비접촉 검사인 열화상 기법을 제안하였다. 열화상 카메라를 이용한 마감재 내부 균열 관측을 위해 콘크리트 시편을 제작하였으며, 콘크리트 표면 및 균열부에 열원을 가진하여 열화상 데이터를 계측하였다. 계측 결과, 너비 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm의 마감재 내부 균열 관측이 가능함을 확인하였으나, 표면 박리, 도배지 들뜸으로 인한 불균일한 온도 분포로 인해 균열 판단이 어렵다. 이에 열화상 데이터의 진폭 및 위상 차이를 도출하여 데이터 분석을 수행한 결과, 0.5mm, 0.7mm 균열에 대해 선명한 균열 계측이 가능하였다. 본 연구를 토대로 추후 마감재 내부 균열 손상 진단에 있어 빅 데이터 기반 딥러닝을 이용한 기술개발을 통해 현장적용 및 분석의 효율성을 증대시키고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the non-destructive equation for the estimation of concrete strength by ultrasonic pulse velocity at the Age of 28day compressive strength of $600{\sim}1000kg/cm^2$. For this purpose, selected test variables were water-hinder ratio, replacement ratio of silica fume, binder content, maximum size of coarse aggregate and sand-aggregate ratio. From the results, the average increase or decrease of ultrasonic pulse velocity is 61m/sec for each 1% of moisture content. And the correlation equation between the ultrasonic pulse velocity and the compressive strength of concrete is as follows. $F_c=896.3V_p-3514$ ($R^2$ = 0.81) where, $F_c$ : compressive strength($kgf/cm^2$), $V_p$ : ultrasonic velocity(km/sec).

The object of this study is to compare properties of massive fly-ash concrete with plain concrete. Two concrete mixtures comprising two batch each $1.0m^3$ in volume, were made from ready mixed concrete batch plant. The water-to-cementitious materials ratio was kept constant at 51.4%. Therefore, massive concrete specimen($W800{\times}D800{\times}H800mm$) was cast from ready mixed concrete to analyze history of temperature and core strength properties. Bleeding, time of slump loss and time of setting of the fresh concrete were measured. In order to estimate the properties of massive fly-ash concrete in hardened concrete, non-destructive tests such as rebound hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity and maturity were performed and analyzed.

The team mixed PbO, $ZrO_2$, $TiO_2$, $Nb_2O_5$ and $MnCO_3$, to make $Pb[(Zr_{0.54}\;Ti_{0.46})\;Nb_{0.005}]O_3+4%MnCO_3$. The electroded PZT ceramics were poled by 3 kV/mm at $110^{\circ}C$ for 600 s. We assembled the 0.4mm thick PZT slices into ultrasonic transducers. Central frequency of the probe is 5 MHz, which is proper to the thickness gauge for steel pipes and for flaw detector. The probe can detect a disk shape defect of 1mm diameter at 15cm deep in steel block. The new probe's Fresnel zone that the ultrasonic beam do not broaden is 13mm. Over the Fresnel zone, the ultrasonic beam spreads. Half of the beam spread angle of the probe is $4.3^{\circ}-4.6^{\circ}$. This probe can be used for the ultrasonic transducers for non-destructive testing of steel bridges.
