This essay is a general review of the application of ultrasonic NDE techniques to the performance assessment and characterization of composite materials. A brief review of ultrasonic input-output characterization of a composite plate by shear waves is presented. A theoretical development of ultrasonic wave propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media excited, respectively, by a circular transducer and an oscillatory point source is summarized. Some experimental results are described in which ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements give insight into material degradation of fatigued composite laminates. Ultrasonic determination of the elastic constants of a composite plate and an experimental attempt at ultrasonic testing of an isotropic plate containing a crack are also included. A recent effort for the characterization of viscoelastic materials using the ultrasonic NDE technique is outlined. Finally, the reliability of ultrasonic NDE is briefly touched upon.

It will be shown how models can simulate all the elements of an ultrasonic NDE measurement system, including the pulser/receiver, cabling, transducer(s), and the acoustic/elastic waves fields. When combined, these models form what is called the electroacoustic measurement model. It will be demonstrated how this electroacoustic measurement model can be used to conduct parametric transducer and system studies and how the model can form the basis for experimentally characterizing all the elements of the ultrasonic measurement system, using purely electrical measurements.

Ultrasonic inspection methods are widely used for detecting flaws in materials. One of the more popular methods involves the extraction of an appropriate set of features followed by the use of a neural network for the classification of the signals in the feature space. This paper describes an approach which uses LMS method to determine the coordinates of the ultrasonic probe followed by the use of SAFT to estimate the location of the ultrasonic reflector The method is employed for classifying NDE signals from the steam generator tubes in a nuclear power plant. The classification results using this scheme for the ultrasonic signals from cracks and deposits within steam generator tubes are presented.

It is well-known that the defects (existing in structures) and the material degradation(caused by the fatigue load) generally initiate the failure of structures. The NDE such as ultrasonic technique which can be used to detect the size and the orientation of defects has been utilized to estimate the life and stability of structures. However, only few experimental reports made by using the ultrasonic technique have been published for the case of fatigue estimation of materials and structures. The purpose of this study is, thus, to derive the relationship between ultrasonic attenuation and fatigue behavior of Polycarbonate and PMMA through ultrasonic characterization. It is also attempted to offer NDE experimental procedure which may be useful to predict fatigue life.

Some techniques developed recently for sizing smalt fatigue cracks are described. One is an ultrasonic technique which deals with a small closed crack, where both the stress closing the crack and the crack size are determined by analyzing inverse problem. Here, difficulties encountered in NDE of closed cracks by usual ultrasonic techniques are summarized in advance. Secondly, the closely coupled probes potential drop (CCPPD) technique, which is based on d-c potential drop measurement, is explained fur sizing small cracks. The CCPPD technique is not affected by crack closure. Finally, a discussion is given on NDE of materials degradation in conjunction with sensitive NDE of small cracks.

목재의 결함을 탐지하는 비파괴 진단법 중에서 초음파를 이용한 비파괴 시험법은 그 경제성과 사용에서 큰 장점을 지니고 있어, 그 활용과 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 그러나 현재까지의 연구는 입목 또는 원목 등과 같이 비파괴 평가를 위한 측정이 비교적 적은 경우에 국한되어 있어, 목조 문화재 등을 비롯한 구조물의 부재와 같이 부재의 일부 면만을 측정할 수 있는 경우에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에는 이러한 초음파 시험기의 측정방법의 제한을 극복하는 방법을 모색하고자 그 첫 번째 단계로 결함을 갖는 목재 내에서 초음파 전달 경로를 구명하고자 하였다. 다양한 전달 경로 모델을 가정하고 실제 실험과 비교를 통해 초음파 전달의 가장 적합한 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 실험 시편에 인위적인 결함을 만들어 실험한 결과 초음파가 직접 전달될 수 없는 부분의 경우 그 결함을 피해서 전달되고 전달 경로는 탐촉자의 반대 측면에서 일차반사를 통해 전달되는 것으로 판단되었다.

Two different types of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques were employed to investigate the tensile behavior of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Two NDE methods, ultrasonic testing (UT) and infrared (IR) thermography, were used to assess defects and/or damage evolution before and during mechanical testing. Prior to tensile testing, a UTC-scan and a xenon flash method were performed to obtain initial defect information in light of UT C-scans and thermal diffusivity maps, respectively. An IR camera was used for in-situ monitoring of progressive damages. The IR camera measured temperature changes during tensile testing. This paper has presented the feasibility of using NDE techniques to interpret structural performance of CMCs.

터빈 로타 디스크는 디스크, keyway, bore surface, hub, rim 등으로 구성되고 이들 부분이 전형적인 균열 발생 부위이다. 이러한 부위는 기하학적 형상이 복잡해 적절한 탐촉자의 선정, wedge 설계 및 가공, 검사체의 형상과 크기에 따른 정상신호와 결함신호의 분류 및 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 디스크 keyway 및 bore surface에 인공결함을 갖는 디스크 대비 시험편을 제작하여 구조, 형상별 초음파 신호를 수집하여 분석하였고 디스크 곡률에 따른 wedge를 설계, 제작하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 형상별 신호를 정의할 수 있었고 디스크부에 발생되는 결함을 검출하고 평가할 수 있는 초음파검사 기술을 확립하였다. 또한 현장 적용에 있어서 성공적인 결과를 입증하였다.

Recently, it is gradually raised necessity that interface is measured accurately and managed in industrial circle and medical world. An Ultrasonic wave transmitted from a focused beam tranducer is being expected as a powerful tool for NDE of the delamination. The Ultrasonic NDE of the delamination is based on the form of the wave reflected from the interface. In this study results, automatically repeated discrimination analysis method can be devided in the category of all kinds of defects on semiconductor package, and also can be possible to have a sampling of partial delamination.
