In this paper, a review of the current status, on the use of long range cylindrically guided wave modes, and their interaction with cracks and corrosion damage in pipe-like structures will be discussed. Applications of cylindrically guided ultrasonic wave modes have been developed for inspection of corrosion damage in pipelines at chemical plants, flow-accelerated corrosion damage (wall thinning) in feedwater piping, and circumferential stress corrosion cracks in PWR steam generator tubes. It has been demonstrated that this inspection technique can be employed on a variety of piping geometries (diameters from 1 in. to 3 ft, and wall thickness from 0.1 to 6 in.) and a propagation distance of 100 meters or more is sometimes feasible. This technique can also be used in the inspection of inaccessible or buried regions of pipes and tubes.

There have been continuous efforts for automation of joint tracking system. This automation process is mainly used to do in root pass of gas metal arc welding in the field of heavy industry and shipbuilding etc. For automation, it is important using of vision sensor. Welding robot with vision sensor is used for weld seam tracking on welding fabrication. Recently, it is used to on post-weld inspection for weld quality evaluation. For real time seam tracking, it is very important role in vision process technique. Vision process is included in filtering and thinning, segmentation processing, feature extraction and recognition. In this paper, it has shown performance comparison results of seam tracking for real time root pass on gas metal arc welding. It can be concluded better segment splitting method than iterative averaging technique in the performance results of seam tracking.

To process the dynamic images in real time, there could be many constraints on the hardware. Kalman Filter has been used to estimate motion information and use the information in predicting the appearance of targets in succeeding frames. This paper suggests algorithm about lane recognition using Kalman Filter which is one of operations research technique.

This paper proposes a new path planning method for obstacle avoidance of mobile robot. In order to achieve easy planning of the path, a simple representation of the empty space is achieved based on thinning algorithm. The proposed Planning technique facilitates the direct use of information obtained by camera. Comparing to the V-graph method, the task of determining the shortest path from the resulting skeleton of empty space is optimized in terms of number of computation steps. The usefulness of the proposed method is ascertained by simulation.

The polycrystalline mullite fiber was synthesized from various combination of starting materials including metal alkoxides and colloidal sol by the sol-gel process. The best spinnability was observed in the sol which showed shear thinning and hysteresis (i.e., thixotropic flow), indicating that the network structure was broken down as the shear rate increased. The mullite fiber was polycrystalline after firing and characterized by thermal analysis, XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, rheological measurements, and SEM.

어떤 물체 영역의 골격(skeleton)을 얻기 위해 세건화(thinning)하는 과정에서 잔가지(parasitic branch)가 발생하므로, 이러한 것을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 여러 가지 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 이중에서 잔가지가 한 픽셀 두께의 가지로 나타나는 속성에 착안하여, 윤곽선 추적에 의한 대칭 경로(symmetric path)를 검출함으로써 잔가지를 제거하는 방법이 매우 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는, 이 방법을 영상 분할이나 연결 요소 추출 등에 의해 구해진 물체 영역의 윤곽선 부분에 나타나는 잡영가지 (noise branch)를 제거하는데 활용할 수 있도록 개선한 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 한 픽셀 두께의 잡영가지 뿐만 아니라, 부분적으로 두 픽셀 이상이 뭉쳐져 둥그스름한 덩어리(잡영블랍, noise blob)를 형성하고 있는 잡영가지도 제거할 수 있는 개선된 방법을 제안한다. 대칭 경로를 찾기 위해 4-8방향 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 이용하며, 잡영블랍이 포함된 경우에는 준대칭(quasi-symmetric) 경로를 정의하여 추출한다. 제안한 방법의 시간 복잡도는 윤곽선 픽셀수의 선형 함수로 표현되며, 사용자가 잡영블랍과 잡영가지의 크기를 임의로 설정하도록 하여 융통성있고 다양하게 잡영가지를 제거할 수 있도록 하였다. 실제 형상과 인위적 형상에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This research examined the technical feasibility of composite that had two layers of fiberglass reinforcement to enhance the load carrying capacity of lumber. Specimens were prepared from standard lumber made of thinning crop trees such as Larix kaempferi, Pinus koraiensis, and P. rigida. Results indicated that bending properties, hardness, and wood screw withdrawal load of low density lumber from the P. koraiensis increased as the number of layers of fiberglass reinforcement increased. Composite produced by VARTM method showed the MOE increased in all specimens, while the MOR differed on the location, whether the 2-layers of FRP is put on tensile zone or compressive zone. The MOR of high density lumber from Larix kaempferi and P. rigida decreased when they placed into tensile zone, but low density lumber from P. koraiensis increased in same location. The bending toughness only increased high density lumber of Larix kaempferi as the number of layers of fiberglass reinforcement increased. The technique developed by this study may increase an opportunity to use small diameter log with low density for commercial purposes.

To detect faults and monitor thinning on a pipe, many people use ultra sonic sensors that are operated in high frequency range. Because there are many modes in high frequency range, it is difficult to find faults and monitor pipe thinning on a structure. If we deal with signals in a low frequency range which include only A0 wave and S0 wave, the information of monitoring and diagnosis can be easily obtained. In this paper, the technique for exciting low frequency range using ultra sonic sensors is proposed. The main idea of the proposed method comes from the beat phenomenon. The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. If the beat frequency is tuned by two ultra waves, we can excite A0 mode and S0 mode of structures. To verify the proposed method, we have performed a steel plate and pipe experiments. Experimental results show that two ultra sonic sensors can well excite low frequency range.

본 논문에서 개개인의 인증을 위한 그래프 이론을 사용한 손등 표면의 정맥 패턴의 인식을 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 개인 고유의 손 정맥 패턴의 데이터이미지를 사용하여 우리는 기대되는 응답의 측정을 위한 그래프 이론의 틀 내에서 매칭 알고리즘을 사용했다. 전처리과정을 통해 캡쳐된 이미지는 좀 더 날카롭고 명료하게 변환하였으며 세선화하였다. 세선화 후 이 이미지는 다시 정규화하여 노드와 에지셀을 갖춘 그래프를 만들었다. 이 정규화된 그래프는 인접 매트릭스를 만들 수 있었으며, 개개인의 정맥 패턴으로 부터 각각의 인접 매트릭스는 달랐다. 우리는 개인의 정맥 패턴은 실험을 통해 생체인식의 새로운 방법으로 접근할 수 있었다.

We present a direct simulation technique for two-dimensional mold-filling simulations of fluids filled with a large number of circular disk-like rigid particles. It is a direct simulation in that the hydrodynamic interaction between particles and fluid is fully considered. We employ a pseudo-concentration method for the evolution of the flow front and the DLM (distributed Lagrangian multipliers)-like fictitious domain method for the implicit treatment of the hydrodynamic interaction. Both methods allow the use of a fixed regular discretization during the entire computation. The discontinuous Galerkin method has been used to solve the concentration evolution equation and the rigid-ring description has been introduced for freely suspended particles. A buffer zone, the gate region of a finite area subject to the uniform velocity profile, has been introduced to put discrete particles into the computational domain avoiding any artificial discontinuity. From example problems of 450 particles, we investigated the particle motion and effects of particles on the flow for both Newtonian and shear-thinning fluid media. We report the prolonged particle movement toward the wall in case of a shear-thinning fluid, which has been interpreted with the shear rate distribution.
