배관, 축 등과 같은 원통형 구조물은 산업설비에 널리 이용되고 그 중요성으로 인해 지속적인 건전성 평가를 요구하는 대상이 되는 경우가 많다. 최근, 이러한 원통형 구조물의 비파괴평가를 위해 자기변형 패치 트랜스듀서를 이용한 비틀림 유도초음파 검사가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 자기변형 패치 트랜스듀서가 민감도 증가를 위해 자기변형 성능이 큰 강자성 패치를 구조물에 부착하여 사용하기 때문에, 시간과 비용의 소모를 비롯한, 많은 불편함을 초래한다는 한계를 지니고 있다. 이러한 기존 트랜스듀서의 단점을 극복하기 위해서 원통형 구조물에 적용이 가능한 비틀림파 변환용 모듈형 자기변형 트랜스듀서를 개발하였다. 제안한 트랜스듀서는 모든 구성요소가 모듈 내부에 집적되어 강자성 패치를 구조물에 따로 부착하는 대신, 전단 커플런트를 이용한 액상접촉이나 매개물을 사용하지 않는 건식접촉 방법으로 사용이 가능하므로, 비틀림 유도초음파 시험을 용이하고 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 수단을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는, 상세한 구조와 구동원리를 기술하고 탄소강 시편을 대상으로 실험적 검증을 수행함으로써, 제안한 트랜스듀서의 성능 및 응용가능성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a proof-of-concept study on the evaluation of torsional vibration isolation performance through in-situ output torque measurement by using a non-contacting magneto-elastic torque transducer installed in the vehicle driveline system. The de-trending processing is first conducted to extract the torsional vibration from the measured driveline output torque. In order to estimate the transmissibility, primary performance indicator of a vibration isolator, the magnitude of transmitted torsional vibration with different frequencies is compared. From the conservative estimation results, the torsional damper built in a lock-up clutch of a torque converter is identified to be a vibration isolator. The evaluation results show that the fluid damping by torque converter outperforms the vibration isolation function of a torsional damper, and the isolation performance needs to be enhanced.

봉에서 전파하는 비틀림파를 발생시키는 압전 비틀림 파동 변환기를 제작하였다. 비틀림 파동을 발생시키는 원리는 원주방향으로 분극된 압전 원판에 인가된 두께 방향 전압에 의해 나타나는 원주방향 전단운동이다. 압전 비틀림 원판을 제작한 후, 공진 주파수를 낮추기 위하여 랑주방(Langevin)형 비틀림 변환기를 제작하였다. 제작된 변환기들의 공진 주파수를 측정한 결과, 해석에 의해 예상된 특성과 잘 일치하였다.

The vibrational characteristics of Langevin-type piezoelectric torsional transducers, which consist of a couple of piezoelectric discs and a couple of elastic blocks, have been studied theoretically and experimentally in this paper. The differential equations of piezoelectric torsional motion have been derived in terms of the circumferential displacement and the electric potential. Solutions of the boundary-value problem have yielded the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the transducers. The theoretical solutions have been verified by comparing the numerical results with experimental ones.

This paper deals with the effect of an adjacent viscous fluid on the torsional vibration of a circular rod excited by a transducer at one end. The interaction between the torsional vibration of the rod and the fluid has been studied theoretically and expressed in terms of the mechanical impedance. The theoretically-obtained trend that the mechanical impedance is proportional to the square root of the viscosity times density of the fluid has been confirmed by the impedance measurement. The paper demonstrates that a torsionally-vibrating rod can be used as a sensor measuring the viscosity of a fluid.

Three-dimensional ultrasonic probes being applied to the medical imaging can be grouped into three depending on the scanning methods, which are a mechanical type system, a free-hand system, and 2D phased arrays system. A mechanical type scanner uses a mechanically driven transducer to acquire series of 2D plane images. By integrating these images, a 3-D medical image can be constructed. A motor driving mechanism is a conventional choice for mechanically driving a transducer assembly which picks the raw ultrasonic images up. In this paper we attempt to design a 3D ultrasonic probe which has a operating mechanism of s tilting 3-D scanning. The motion of a transducer assembly of the ultrasonic probe is analytically modelled. We propose a selection procedure for the diameter of a wire rope driving the transducer assembly and the size of torsional spring which gives an initial tension to wire ropes.

This study newly presents a synthetic phase tuning technique to suppress the unwanted torsional mode while enhancing the desired torsional mode in a pipe. Specifically, we aim at the enhancement of the first torsional mode and the suppression of the undesired, second torsional mode. Earlier efforts were to enhance the desired wave mode only in the hope that the enhancement results in the suppression of the unwanted wave mode. Unlike these efforts, the suggested technique makes the complete cancellation of the unwanted wave mode but it is shown to enhance the desired first mode for torsional wave problems. In the present study, the synthetic phase tuning is developed for the cancellation of the unwanted wave mode, meaning that the number of necessary experimental equipments is reduced. Simulation and experiment were carried out to check the effectiveness of the proposed method. As an application of the suggested technique, we investigated the reflection and mode conversion characteristics of the first torsional mode according to the step thickness variation in a stepped pipe.
