In this study, we performed RTD measurement at the die exit of co-rotating twin-screw extruder using a non-destructive ultrasonic device. The ultrasonic device was attached at slit die and was composed of a steel buffer rod and 10 MHz longitudinal piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. This in-line ultrasonic monitoring method is based on the ultrasonic response of $CaCO_3$ filled in polymer. The RTD is evaluated by variation of ultrasonic attenuation with time caused by change of the tracer concentration during extrusion. The ultrasonic tracer, pellet type of compounded $CaCO_3$ in polymer was used in this study. The effects of tracer concentration on RTD and flow patterns were studied. Evaluation for the residence functions at different screw speeds, feeding rates and screw configurations were also carried out.

We have carried out laboratory measurements of P-wave velocity and deformation strain during $CO_2$ injection into a porous sandstone sample, in dry and water-saturated conditions. The rock sample was cylindrical, with the axis normal to the bedding plane, and fluid injection was performed from one end. Using a piezoelectric transducer array system, we mapped fluid movement during injection of distilled water into dry sandstone, and of gaseous, liquid, and supercritical $CO_2$ into a water-saturated sample. The velocity changes caused by water injection ranged from $5.61\;to\;7.52\%$. The velocity changes caused by $CO_2$ injection are typically about $-6\%$, and about $-10\%$ for injection of supercritical $CO_2$, Such changes in velocity show that the seismic method may be useful in mapping $CO_2$ movement in the subsurface. Strain normal to the bedding plane was greater than strain parallel to the bedding plane during $CO_2$ injection; injection of supercritical $CO_2$ showed a particularly strong effect. Strain changes suggest the possibility of monitoring rock mass deformation by using borehole tiltmeters at geological sequestration sites. We also found differences associated with $CO_2$ phases in velocity and strain changes during injection.

광간섭 단층촬영(OCT)용으로 원통형 압전소자(PZT)와 단일모드 광섬유를 이용한 광경로 지연기를 제작하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 광경로 지연기에서 발생하는 편광모드 분산은 편광조절기로 조절하였고, 열요동을 2중 광경로 지연기를 구성하여 최소화하였다. 이중 광경로 지연기는 단일 광경로 지연기에 비해 2배의 측정 깊이와 속도를 구현하여 $18.6\pm0.5{\mu}m$의 해상도. 측정 깊이 1.68 mm, 측정 녹도 360.4 mm/s를 각각 얻었다.

상용 반도체 레이저 다이오드에 Littman형 외부공진기를 결합하여 파장기변 레이저 다이오드 시스템을 제작하였다. 0차 출력광은 단일종모드로 동작하여 CFP의 분해능인 9MHz이내의 선폭을 예상할 수 있었으며 다이오드 구동전류 140mA 및 동작온도 $25^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 거울을 수동나사로 회전시키는 성긴 튜닝(coarse tuning)시 3.475nm 의 파장가변 범위를 보였으며 PZT(piezoelectric transducer)에 200Hz의 톱니파 전압을 인가해서 거울을 회전시키는 미세튜닝(fine tuning)시 0.042nm의 범위내에서 연속적인 파장가변이 가능하였다.

The current study presents experimental and numerical results on the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on a cylindrical cup drawing of a cold rolled steel sheet(SPCC). An experimental apparatus, which can superimpose high frequency oscillations during deep drawing, was constructed by installing on the tooling ultrasonic vibration generators consisting of a piezoelectric transducer and a resonator. Conventional and vibration-assisted cylindrical deep drawing tests were conducted for various drawing ratios, and the limiting drawing ratios(LDR) for both methods were compared. To evaluate quantitatively the contribution from the ultrasonic vibrations to the reduction of friction between tools and material finite element analyses were conducted. Through a series of parametric analyses, the friction coefficients, which minimized the differences of punch load data between the experiments and simulations, were determined. The results show that the application of ultrasonic vibration effectively improves the LDR by reducing the friction between the tools and the material.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) pseudomonads have a large number of lipopolysaccharides on the cell surface, which induces immune responses. Cd-resistant PGPR prevalent at the Cd-affected sites under biophytostabilization was monitored. Transmissiom electron microscopy was used to the study the behavior of tolerance of PGPR to cadmium level and its effect on pseudomonad strains (Z9, S2, KNP2, CRPF, and NBRI). An immunosensor was developed by immobilizing antibody (anti-Z9 or anti-S2) against selected PGPR on a piezoelectric quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Immunosensors were found to supplement the inherent specificity of antigen-antibody reactions with the high sensitivity of a physical transducer. On comparison of the efficiency of detection with ELISA, the spectrophotometric technique, the developed immunosensor was found to be more sensitive, fast, and reliable even after regeneration for several times. Thus, the immunosensor may be used for future detection of PGPR strains after automation of the screening process.

The optimal structure of 1-3 piezocomposites has been determined by controlling polymer properties, ceramic volume fraction, thickness of composite and aspect ratio of the composite to maximize the TVR (transmitting voltage response), RVS (receiving voltage sensitivity) and FBW (fractional bandwidth) of underwater acoustic transducers. Influence of the design variables on the transducer performance was analyzed with equivalent circuits and the finite element method. When the piezocomposite is vibrating in a pure thickness mode, inter-pillar resonant modes are likely to occur between lattice-structured piezoceramic pillars and polymer matrix, which significantly deteriorate the performance of the piezocomposite. In this work, a new method to design the structure of the 1~3 type piezocomposite was proposed to maximize the TVR, RVS and FBW while preventing the occurrence of the inter-pillar modes. Genetic algorithm was used in the optimal design.

본 논문에서는 원통형 압전 진동체에 대한 수중 방사 임피던스를 유한 배플 구조에서의 측정 결과와 무한 배플 구조에서의 이론 결과를 비교하여 방사 임피던스에 대한 배플의 영향을 규명하였다. 배플의 길이가 증가할수록 방사 임피던스의 측정치는 무한 배플에서의 이론치에 접하하며, 배플의 영항은 방사저항에서 보다 방사 리액턴스에서 더 지배적 임을 보인다. 따라서 음향 변환기의 설계시 무한 배플 구조에서의 방사 임피던스 이론 결과를 적용하기 위해서는 배플길이에 따른 임피던스의 보상이 수행되어야 한다.

Recently, researchers in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) have been rigorously striving to replace the conventional NDE techniques with the smart material based SHM techniques, employing smart materials such as piezoelectric materials. For instance, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique employing piezo-impedance (lead zirconate titanate, PZT) transducer is known for its sensitivity in detecting local damage. For practical applications, various external factors such as fluctuations of temperature and loading, affecting the effectiveness of the EMI technique ought to be understood and compensated. This paper aims at investigating the damage monitoring capability of EMI technique in the presence of axial stress with fixed boundary condition. A compensation technique using effective frequency shift (EFS) by cross-correlation analysis was incorporated to compensate the effect of loading and boundary stiffening. Experimental tests were conducted by inducing damages on lab-sized aluminium beams in the presence of tensile and compressive forces. Two types of damages, crack propagation and bolts loosening were simulated. With EFS for compensation, both cross-correlation coefficient (CC) index and reduction in peak frequency were found to be efficient in characterizing damages in the presence of varying axial loading.

In this study, ultrasonic rotary motors using a bolted langevin type ultrasonic vibrator were designed and fabricated. The stator vibrator has a longitudinal transducer section composed of two metal blocks and two piezoelectric ceramic elements (thickness-polarized) and a mode conversion metal block section called a torsion coupler. And, three kinds of motors were studied by finite element analysis and experiments. So, as material of torsion coupler which generate mode conversion of vibration copper, brass, and phosphor bronze were used. As a result, speed and torque were changed in proportion to the electrical input Voltage, but it was saturated in high voltage. And bad efficiency which was different from a expectation was measured in this motors. So, various problems should be improved for practical use. Finally, The motor which has 1 [cm] diameter was fabricated to present a possibility of miniaturization of this type motors.
