음향방출기법은 구조물에 존재하는 손상 및 손상 메커니즘을 규명하는 가장 유효한 비파괴검사 수단으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 손상위치표정 기법은 탄성파 전파 속도에 크게 의존하는 기법의 한계에 의하여 복합재료 또는 이종의 재료로 구성된 구조물에서의 손상을 탐지하기 어려운 한계점을 가지고 있다. 최근 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있는 압축천연가스(CNG) 저장용기는 무게와 강성의 효율을 위하여 복합재료를 사용하여 외부를 보강하는 새로운 형태의 구조를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 다층 복합소재의 사용으로 기존의 손상탐지기법으로는 저장용기의 외부에서 가해지는 충격 혹은 결함에 의한 저장탱크에 발생한 손상의 측정이 매우 어렵게 되었다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통하여 개발된 에너지 기반 contour D/B map 기법을 이용하여 4 가지 형식의 CNG 저장탱크에 발생한 외부 충격 신호의 손상 위치를 측정하였다. 각각의 형식의 저장탱크에서 측정된 손상 위치 결과를 비교 분석하여 새로운 기법의 측정 성능을 알아보았다.

기존 연구에서 에너지 소비의 효율성을 향상하기 위해 제시된 무선 센서 네트워크의 라우팅 기법은 다양하게 존재하지만 라우팅을 위해서는 자신의 위치 정보와 1 홉(hop) 거리에 인접한 주변 노드들의 위치 정보를 유지해야 한다. 그리고 BS 노드로 데이터를 전송하기 위하여 여러 노드를 경유하여 목적지까지 전송하는 다중 홉(Multi-hop) 전송 방식을 사용한다. 이러한 기법은 네트워크의 전체적인 에너지 소모와 센서 노드의 전력 소모를 발생시켜 효율적인 에너지 관리에 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 전파 범위와 RSSI를 이용하여 소스 노드와 거리 $d{\pm}{\alpha}$를 만족하는 BS 노드의 위치 기반 1-홉 라우팅 기법을 제안한다.

This study was conducted to evaluate structural integrity and crack source location of plain concrete beams using acoustic emission. Three point bending tests were carried out plain concrete specimen under cyclic loadings. The variable is W/C of concrete. From the tests it was shown that a breakdown of the kaiser effect and high AE activities during unloading could be effective indices to estimate the level of deterioration in plain concrete structures. The time and location and propagation of crack could be easily determined by monitoring AE, which concludes that AE technique can be a very useful tool to evaluate structural integrity of concrete plain beams.

In a nuclear power plant, loose part monitoring and its diagnostic technique is one of the major issues for ensuring the structural integrity of the reactor system. Typically, accelerometers are mounted on the surface of a reactor vessel to localize impact location caused by the impact of metallic substances on the reactor system. However, in some cases, the number of the accelerometers is not enough to estimate the impact location precisely. In such a case, one of alternative plan is to utilize another type sensors that can measure the vibration of the reactor structure even though the measuring frequency ranges are different from each others. The AE sensors installed on the reactor structure can be utilized as additional sensors for loose part monitoring. In this paper, we proposed a new method to estimate impact location by using both accelerometer signal and AE signal, simultaneously. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by an experiment. The experimental results demonstrate that we can enhance the reliability and precision of the loose part monitoring.

The Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) algorithm is being used widely for identifying the location of a source emanating either electrical or acoustic signal. It's application areas will not be limited to identifying the source at a fixed location, for example the origin of an earthquake, but will also include the trajectory monitoring for a moving source equipped with a GPS sensor. Most of the TDOA algorithm uses time correlation technique to find the time delay between received signals, and therefore difficult to be used for identifying the location of multiple sources. In this paper a TDOA algorithm based on cross-spectrum is developed to find the trajectory of two sound sources with different frequencies. Although its application is limited to for the sources on a disk plane, but it can be applied for identifying the locations of more than two sources simultaneously.

From the results of AE(Acoustic Emission) source location occurred by the spot exciting as suggested in this research, it has been confirmed that AE technique is quite fruitful in figuring out the location of the occurrence, form, size and direction of the defects. As the results of examining the distribution of event for the angle of crack $\alpha$ to Xs and Ys, as the increases from $0^{\circ}$ ~ $90^{\circ}$, gradually changes its width from the axis Xs to the axis Ys. So event appears approximately similar in its size at the angle of crack $\alpha$=$45^{\circ}$, yet opposite when $\alpha$ is lager. It is believed that this is a phenomenon where its crack legnth $\alpha$, assumed as a planar defect, is to be prcjected toward the direction with a larger size. Thus, it is expected that the application of the experimental method suggested in this study would make it possible to identify the location of the defect in the material in the nondestructive way.

Various monitoring techniques are now available for structural health monitoring and Acoustic Emission (AE) is one of them. One of the major advantages of the AE technique is its capability to locate active cracks in structural members. AE crack locating approaches are affected by the signal attenuation and dispersion of elastic waves due to inhomogeneity and geometry of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In this paper, a novel technique is described based on signal processing and sensor arrangement to process multisensory AE data generated by the onset and propagation of cracks and is validated with experimental results from an in-situ load test. Considering the sources of uncertainty in the AE crack location process, a methodology is proposed to capture and locate events generated by cracks. In particular, the relationship between AE events and load is analyzed, and the feasibility of using the AE technique to evaluate the cracking behavior of two RC slab strips during loading to failure is studied.

In this study, the leak detection technique of pressure vessel by using acoustic emission(AE) signal is suggested experimentally. The leak of pressure vessel is located at the welding line due to welding defects. we measured the AE signal using Rl5I sensor, and examined the AE parameters in leak condition. It is investigated that the mean value of AE signal is dependent on leak source location. So the absolute mean value of AE signal is adopted as dominant AE parameter. We proposed leak detection algorithm using AE signal mean value for monitoring the leak source location.

It was well recognized that the damages associated mainly with the aging of civil infrastructures were one of very serious problems for assurance of safety and reliability. Recently carbon fiber sheet(CFS) has been widely used for reinforcement and rehabilitation of damaged concrete beam. However, the fundamental mechanism of load transfer and its load-resistant for carbon fiber sheet reinforced concrete are not fully understood. In this study, three point bending test has been carried out to understand the damage progress and the micro-failure mechanism of CFS reinforced mortars. For this purpose, four different types of specimens are used, that is, mortar, steel bar reinforced mortar, CFS reinforced mortar, and steel bar and CFS reinforced morter. Acoustic Emission(AE) technique was used to evaluate the characteristics of damage progress and the failure mechanism of specimens. in addition, two-dimensional AE source location was also performed to monitor crack initiation and propagation processes for these specimens.
