Magnetostrictive materials are used low frequency sonar transmitter instead of piezoelectric materials. But it is difficult to analyze due to the nonlinearity and hysteresis of magnetostrictive materials. This paper deals with the program development for the finite element modeling of magnetostrictive tonpilz transducers and for analyzing their acoustic characteristics. To take into account the nonlinearity of magnetostrictive materials, the magnetic field calculation is separated form the displacement calculation, and a curve fitting is adopted for the nonlinear behavior of the magnetic and mechanical strain fields. At first, the magnetic field is obtained by using a commercial FEM software and the displacement of the transducer is calculated by plugging the obtained magnetic field into forcing term. To verity the accuracy of the developed program, a comparison is made with a commercial code, ATILA.

In this study, we have developed the high resolution multichannel seismic data acquisition system and shallow marine seismic source. It is easy to operate our source system which utilizes piezoelectric transducer of high electrical power. According to water depth, survey condition and purpose, transducer number of source system can be easily changed in order to maximize field applicability. In the recording part, we used 24 bits and 8 channel high speed A/D board in order to achieve the improvement of data quality and the efficiency of data acquisition. The developed system was tested and varied with the data acquisition parameters such as source-receiver offset, and transducer number versus water depth for the field application.

Ultrasonic shears is currently in wide use as an energy device for minimal invasive surgery. There is an advantage of minimizing the carbonization behavior of the tissue due to the vibrational energy transfer system of the transducer by applying a piezoelectric ceramic. However, the vibrational energy transfer system has a pitfall in energy consumption. When the movement of the forceps is interrupted by the tissue, the horn which transfers the vibrational energy of the transducer will be affected. A study was performed to recognize different tissues by measuring the impedance of the transducer of the ultrasonic shears in order to find the factor of energy consumption according to the tissue. In the first stage of the study, the voltage and current of the transducer connecting portion were measured, along with the phase changes. Subsequently, in the second stage, the impedance of the transducer was directly measured. In the final stage, using the handpiece, we grasped the tissue and observed the impedance differences appeared in the transducer To verify the proposed tissue distinguishing method, we used the handpiece to apply a force between 5N and 10N to pork while increasing the value of the impedance of the transducer from 400 ${\Omega}$.. It was found that fat and skin tissue, tendon, liver and protein all have different impedance values of 420 ${\Omega}$, 490 ${\Omega}$, 530 ${\Omega}$, and 580 ${\Omega}$, respectively. Thus, the impedance value can be used to distinguish the type of tissues grasped by the forceps. In the future study, this relationship will be used to improve the energy efficiency of ultrasonic shears.

강력초음파 분야에 있어서, 트랜스듀서의 고정을 위한 프렌지의 위치설정은 트랜스듀서의 변환효율에 큰 영향을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 볼트 체결형 란주반 초음파 트랜스듀서의 공진모드에 따른 프렌지의 설치 위치를 결정하기 위한 실험적 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 반원형 쐐기 형태의 지그를 제작하여 트랜스듀서의 측면을 따라 이동하며 지그에 일정한 압력을 가한 후 트랜스듀서의 진동특성을 분석하였다. 압력을 가하는 위치에 따른 트랜스듀서의 입력 어드미턴스의 변화를 분석하여 프렌지의 최적의 위치를 결정할 수 있었다. 이 위치들은 메이슨 등가회로를 적용하여 계산한 공진 주파수 및 전송선로 모델 해석으로부터 계산한 각 공진 모드에 대한 입자속도 분포로부터 예측한 진동 모드의 절의 위치와 좋은 대응을 보이고 있어 본 연구에서 제안된 방법의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring was conducted for mortar specimens under three types of static loading patterns (cubic-splitting, direct-shear and pull-out). Each of the applied loading patterns was expected to produce a particular fracture process. Subsequently, the AEs generated by various fracture or damage processes carried specific information on temporal micro-crack behaviors of concrete for post analysis, which was represented in the form of detected AE signal characteristics. Among various available characteristics of acquired AE signals, frequency content was of great interest. In this study, cement-based piezoelectric sensor (as AE transducer) and home-programmed DEcLIN monitoring system were utilized for AE monitoring on mortar. The cement-based piezoelectric sensor demonstrated enhanced sensitivity and broad frequency domain response range after being embedded into mortar specimens. This broad band characteristic of cement-based piezoelectric sensor in frequency domain response benefited the analysis of frequency content of AE. Various evaluation methods were introduced and employed to clarify the variation characteristics of AE frequency content in each test. It was found that the variation behaviors of AE frequency content exhibited a close relationship with the applied loading processes during the tests.

In this study, various damage modes in bending unimorph piezoelectric composite actuators with a thin sandwiched PZT plate during bending fracture tests have been evaluated by monitoring acoustic emission (AE) signals in terms of waveform and peak frequency as well as AE parameters. Three kinds of actuator specimens consisting of woven fabric fiber skin layers and a PZT ceramic core layer are loaded with a roller and an AE activity from the specimen is monitored during the entire loading using an AE transducer mounted on the specimen. AE characteristics from a monolithic PZT ceramic with a thickness of $250{\mu}m$ are examined first in order to distinguish different AE signals from various possible damage modes in piezoelectric composite actuators. Post-failure observations and stress analyses in the respective layers of the specimens are conducted to identify particular features in the acoustic emission signal that correspond to specific types of damage modes. As a result, the signal classification based on waveform and peak frequency analyses successfully describes the failure process of the bending piezoelectric composite actuator exhibiting diverse failure mechanisms. Furthermore, it is elucidated that when the PZT ceramic embedded actuators are loaded mechanical bending loads, the failure process of actuator specimens with different lay-up configurations is almost same irrespective of their lay-up configurations.

As a candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials, dense $(Na_xK_{0.94-x}Li_{0.06})NbO_3$ ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding 1 mol% $Li_2O$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of $(Na_xK_{0.94-x}Li_{0.06})NbO_3$ ceramics were investigated as a function of Na/K ratio. When the sample sintered at $950^{\circ}C$ for 4 h with the compositions of morphotropic phase boundary, 0.47 < x < 0.51, electro-mechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and piezoelectric coefficient ($d_{33}$) were found to reach the highest values of 0.42 and 190 pC/N, respectively. These excellent piezoelectric and electro-mechanical properties indicate that this system is potentially good candidate for lead-free material for a wide range of electro-mechanical transducer applications.
