본 연구에서는 쿼드러춰 방식의 초음파현미경을 구성하고 미세한 높이변화를 갖는 표면결함에 대한 진폭영상과 위상영상을 복원하여 상대적인 영상 강도의 변화와 영상의 질을 비교 분석하였다. 본 실험에서는 중심주파수가 3㎒인 focused 변환기를 사용하여 초음파현미경을 구성하고 알루미늄 재료를 선택하여 하나는 직경이 2㎜이고 깊이가 100㎛인 원형결함을 갖도록 하였고 다른 하나는 직경이 4㎜이고 깊이가 5㎜인 원형결함을 갖도록 시편을 제작하였으며 이들에 대한 진폭과 위상영상을 복원하였다. 결함 깊이가 100㎛인 원형결함이 존재하는 시편에 대한 라인 스캔(line scan) 결과 상대적인 영상강도의 진폭 변동율은 7%로 미약한 반면에 위상 변동율은 89%로 커다란 변화를 나타내므로 결함에 대해서 위상영상이 우수한 콘트라스트를 보였다. 이에 비하여 결함의 깊이가 5㎜인 시편에 대해서 진폭영상은 위상영상에 비하여 우수한 콘트라스트를 보이므로서 결함 깊이가 한 파장을 기준으로하여 위상영상과 진폭영상은 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 따라서 쿼드러춰 검출방식의 초음파현미경은 진폭만을 검출하는 포락선 검출기에 비해 한 파장보다 작은 높이변화를 갖는 결함의 탐상시 위상영상을 진폭영상의 상호보완적인 관계로 사용하므로서 결함의 미세 높이 변동을 효율적으로 평가 할 수 있다.

Spot welding has wide used with a high work efficiency in the automotive and aerospace industries. Up to the present, the technique mainly used to test spot welds on production lines has been entirely depended upon destructive chisel or peel testing. Therefore, it's being very important assignment to secure the NDE technique which can be evaluate spot weld quality with more efficiency and high reliability. This paper discusses the feasibility of UNDE techniques to evaluate spot weld quality. For the sake of the approach to the quantitative measurement of nugget diameter and the discrimination of a the corona bond from nugget, ultrasonic c-scan image and distribution of reflective echo amplitude was measured by immersion method with the mechanical and the electronic scanning of point-focussed ultrasonic beam(25 MHz). As the results of this study, corona bond which is the most dangerous types of interface defects can be successfully detected, as well as expulsion and voids. Ultrasonic testing results were confirmed and compared by optical microscope and SAM(Scanning Acoustic Microscope) observation of the spot-weld cross section. The results show that the nugget diameter can be successfully measured with the accuracy of 0.8 mm.

본 연구에서는 초음파현미경의 기하학적 원리와 초음파현미경의 특징중 하나인 V(z)곡선의 간섭파형을 시뮬레이션 하였고, 실제 초음파현미경의 V(z)곡선법을 이용하여 미소영역에서의 누설탄성표면파 음속을 측정하였다. 초음파현미경을 이용한 V(z)곡선법의 음속측정결과가 시뮬레이션 음속값과 큰차이를 보이지 않으므로 미소영역에 초음파현미경의 V(z)곡선법을 적용하여 초음파의 음속측정이 가능함을 확인하였다. 이는 향후 초음파현미경을 이용하여 미세한 재료의 물성평가에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, static and fatigue bending strengths and failure mechanisms of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) laminates having impact damages have been evaluated. Composite laminates used for this experiment are CF/EPOXY orthotropy laminated plates, which have two-interfaces $[0^0_ 4/90^0_4]_{ sym}$. A steel ball launched by the air gun collides against CFRP laminates to generate impact damages. The damage growth during bending fatigue test is observed by the scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) and also, the fracture surfaces were observed by using the SEM (scanning electron microscope). In the case of impacted-side compression, fracture is propagated from the transverse crack generated near impact point. On the other hand, fracture is developed toward the impact point from the edge of interface-B delamination in the case of impacted-side tension. Eventually, failure mechanisms have been confirmed based on the observed delamination areas and fracture surfaces.

A newly developed method based on energy is presented to study the damage pattern of FRP material. Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) is employed to monitor the damage under fatigue loading. In this study, acoustic emission technique (AE) combined with scanning electronic microscope (SEM) technique is employed to monitor the damage evolution of the BFRP specimen in an approximate continuous scanning way. The AE signals are analyzed based on the wavelet transform, and the analyses are confirmed by SEM images. Several damage patterns of BFRP material, such as matrix cracking, delamination, fiber fracture and their combinations, are identified through the experiment. According to the results, the cumulative energy (obtained from wavelet coefficients) of various damage patterns are closely related to the damage evolution of the BFRP specimens during the entire fatigue tests. It has been found that the proposed technique can effectively distinguish different damage patterns of FRP materials and describe the fatigue damage evolution.

본 연구에서는 CFRP 적층재를 구조재료로 사용할 경우 우수한 인장강도를 갖 지만, 충격하중에 취약한 특성을 갖기 때문에 구조안정성에 관한 큰 문제의 하나로 충 격손상을 받은 적층판의 잔류 압축강도가 현저히 저하되는 것이 문제점으로 지적되어 왔다.특히, 충격손상에 의한 압축강도의 저하는 인장강도보다 압축강도에 중점을 두는 항공기의 강도설계에서 중요한 문제가 되므로, 저속충격에 의한 복합재료 구조체 의 충격파괴의 문제를 잘 이해하는 것이 요구된다. 지금까지의 연구에 의하면 CFRP 복합적층재의 손상은 주로 층간박리현상과 손상역의 크기변화를 실험적으로 고찰하였 다.

Microstructure of the bell made with Cu-Sn alloys was examined by optical and scanning electron microscope and that analyzed quantitatively with image analyzer. Also acoustic characteristics of the bells were measured in detail by using FFT type power spectrum analyzer. ${\alpha}-single$ phases of large grains only were observed in Cu-5%Sn alloy. However mixed structure of primary ${\alpha}-phase$ and eutectoid of ${\alpha}+{\delta}%_o$ was existed in the Cu-Sn alloys with more than 9%Sn. Also the area fraction of eutectoid phases gradually increased with an increased Sn content. From the result of acoustic test, it was found that frequency and tonal intensity decreased with the increased Sn content from 5%Sn to 11%Sn, and those were rather increased with further increase of that. The lowest frequency and tonal intensity were showed in Cu-11%Sn, and porosity decreased considerably frequency and tonal intensity of the bells.

Recently carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been used structural materials in corrosive environment such as for water, chemical tank and pipes. However, mechanical properties of such materials may be change when CFRP and exposed to corrosive environment for long periods of time. The degradation behavior of carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite material in distilled water is investigated using acoustic emission (AE) technique, Fracture toughness tests are performed on the compact tension specimens that are pilled by two types of $[O_2/9O_2]_{3s}$ and $[O/9O]_6s$. During the testes, AE test was carried out to monitor the damage of CFRP by moisture absorption. The data was treated by 2-parameter Weibull distribution and the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscope.

An arc-shaped line array slit has been used for the laser generation of focused Lamb waves. The spatially expanded Nd:YAG pulse laser was illuminated through the arc-shaped line array slit on the surface of a sample plate to generate the Lamb waves of the same pattern as the slit. Then the generated Lamb waves were focused at the focal point of which distance from the slit position is dependent on the curvature of slit arc. The proposed method showed better spatial resolution than the conventional linear array slit in the detection of laser machined linear defect and drill machined circular defect on aluminum plates of 2mm thickness. Using the focused waves, we could detect the linear defect and the circular defect with the improvement of spatial resolution. The method can also be combined with the scanning mechanism to get an image just like by the scanning acoustic microscope(SAM).

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has received widespread attention in the field of civil engineering because of its superior durability and corrosion resistance. This article presents the damage mechanisms of a novelty composite called carbon nanofiber modified flax fiber polymer (CNF-modified FFRP). The ability of acoustic emission (AE) to detect damage evolution for different configurations of specimens under uniaxial tension was examined, and some useful AE characteristic parameters were obtained. Test results shows that the mechanical properties of modified composites are associated with the CNF content and the evenness of CNF dispersed in the epoxy matrix. Various damage mechanisms was established by means of scanning electron microscope images. The fuzzy c-means clustering were proposed to classify AE events into groups representing different generation mechanisms. The classifiers are constructed using the traditional AE features -- six parameters from each burst. Amplitude and peak-frequency were selected as the best cluster-definition features from these AE parameters. After comprehensive comparison, a correlation between these AE events classes and the damage mechanisms observed was proposed.
