이 연구는 터빈베어링의 신뢰성을 평가하기 위하여 초음파 C-Scan 방법을 적용한 기술이다. 수침법에 관한 연구는 실험실과 현장검사 적용에 광범위하게 사용되는 기술이다. 여기에서는 C-Scan 방법을 이용하여 베어링의 모재와 Babbitt 금속간 경계부의 상태를 평가하였다. 수침법 C-Scan 방법에 의한 초음파 영상은 베어링 경계부의 상태를 확인하는데 효과적인 방법으로 사용될 수 있었다. 초음파 영상의 분해능을 높이기 위하여 집속형 탐촉자를 사용하고, Babbitt 금속과 베어링 모재간의 접합경계면에서 발생하는 초음파 음압 반사율을 측정하여 결함의 검출과 면적을 추정할 수 있었다. 초음파 수침법은 베어링 접합부의 박리위치와 박리면적의 경계면을 결정하여 크기를 계산하는데 아주 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 기술이며, 이 연구에서 개발된 기술은 화력발전소에서 사용되고 있는 터빈베어링의 건전성을 확보하는데 적용되었다.

록볼트는 지하구조물의 주지보재로 적용되고 있다. 록볼트 건전도 평가를 위한 비파괴 방법으로 유도초음파의 투과법을 이용한 기법이 우수한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 하지만 투과법은 철근의 양 끝단에 센서를 부착하기 때문에 암반에 이미 설치되어 있는 록볼트의 건전도 평가는 불가능하다. 본 연구의 목적은 록볼트 철근 두부에 가진센서와 수진센서를 나란히 설치하여 선단에서 반사되어 오는 파를 측정하는 반사법을 자유구속조건 및 지중관입조건에 적용하며, 이를 투과법과 비교하는데 있다. 유도초음파의 가진과 수진을 위해 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트와 AE 센서를 사용하였으며, 측정된 신호로부터 웨이브렛 변환을 통하여 에너지 속도를 산정하였다. 실험결과, 반사법의 결과가 투과법과 거의 일치하였으며, 결함비율이 증가함에 따라 에너지 속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 유도초음파의 반사법이 록볼트 건전도 평가에 있어 현장 적용 가능성 있는 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Thermal fatigue is one of the life-limiting damage mechanisms in the nuclear power plant conditions. The turbulent mixing of fluids of different temperatures induces rapid temperature changes to the pipe wall. The successive thermal transients cause varying cyclic thermal stresses. These cyclic thermal stresses cause fatigue crack nucleation and growth similar to the cyclic mechanical stresses. The aim of this study was to fulfil the need by developing an real crack manufacturing method, which would produce realistic cracks. The test material was austenitic STS 304, which is used as pipelines in the reactor coolant system of a nuclear power plants. In order to fabricate thermal fatigue crack similar to realistic crack, successive thermal transients were applied to the specimen. Thermal transient cycles were combined with heating (60sec) and cooling cycle (30sec). And, In order to identify ultrasonic characteristic, it was performed the ultrasonic reflection measuring method for the fabricated specimen. From the results of ultrasonic reflection measuring testing, it was conformed that A-scan results(average 83% of real crack depth) for the TFC reference specimen was more enhanced NDT reliability than results(average 38% of real crack depth) for the EDM notch reference specimen.

A sensor system has been developed that uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect the downhill slope on the side of a forest road and prevents a vehicle-type forest machine from rolling down a mountainside. A specular reflection of ultrasonic wave might cause severe issues in measuring distances to targets. By investigating the installation angle of the sensor to minimize the negative effects of specular reflection, the installation angle of lateral monitoring ultrasonic sensor could be determined based on the width of road shoulder. Obstacles such as small rocks or piece of log in a forest road may cause the forest machine to be overturned while the machine riding over due to excessive its posture change. It was determined that the laser sensor could be a part of a sensor system capable of specifying the location and size of small obstacles. Not only this sensor system including ultrasonic and laser sensors can issue a warning of dangerous sections to drivers in forest forwarders currently in use, but also it can be used as a driving safety sensor in autonomous forest machine or remote-control forest machine in the future.

본 연구에서는 초음파 탐상시험의 펄스 반사법으로 각각 용접결함에 따른 초음파 펄스파형모형을 연구하였다. 균열은 예리하고 선명한 신호들을 발생한다. 탐촉자를 결함주위로 이동하면 에코높이는 변한다. 긴 균열에서는 탐촉자가 결함 주위를 원형으로 목돌림주사법을 사용하여 탐상하면 에코높이는 급격히 감소한다. 그 에코 봉우리는 바늘과 같이 얇고 날카롭다. 기공은 단일 결함으로부터 발생하는 에코는 예리하고 선명하다 하지만 집단의 기공들은 다수의 반사들이 중첩되고 트레이스가 들쭉날쭉한 에코가 발생한다. 슬래그 개재물은 크랙과 슬래그 결함위치에서 각각 목돌림 주사법을 사용하여 탐상하면 그 에코형상은 어느 정도 차이를 볼 수 있었다. crack은 그 에코높이가 급격히 변하는 반면에 슬래그 개재물은 증가${\rightarrow}$감소${\rightarrow}$증가${\rightarrow}$감소된다. 또한 다수 밀집된 기공의 위치에서 결함은 대표적 에코형상과 같은 잡다한 에코형상은 슬래그에서는 볼 수 없었다. 용입불량은 결함의 에코형상은 크랙과 같이 날카롭고 예리하게 나타났고, crack과 비슷한 에코형상은 갖고 있었다.

Ultrasonic spectroscopy is likely to become a very powerful NDE method for detection of microfects and thickness measurement of thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution in the opaque materials, provides a useful information that cannot be obtained by a conventional ultrasonic measuring system. In this paper, we considered a thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution sandwitched between two substances as acoustical analysis model, demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic spectroscopic analysis technique using information of ultrasonic frequency for measurements of thin film thickness, regardless of interference phenomenon and phase reversion of ultrasonic waveform. By using frequency intervals(${\triangle}f$) of periodic minima from the ratio of reference power spectrum of reflective waveform obtained a sample to power spectrum of multiple reflective waves obtained interference phenomenon caused by ultrasonic waves reflected at the upper and lower surfaces of a thin layer, can measured even dimensions of interest are smaller than the ultrasonic wave length with simplicity and accuracy.

One set of rotor coils is required per each large generator rotor assembly, Rotors consist of two directly opposing poles. Each pole requires from 5 to 9 coils. Each coil is made up of two halves identified on the connection end. These coil halves will be joined together by butt brazing process during subsequent rotor assembly. Each half coil is made up of typically 4 to 9 layers of copper conductors. Because of Generator rotor is rotated very high speed with 3,600RPM, the quality soundness of brazed joints is very important at each coil. But, it is very difficult to be optimized non-destructive evaluation, because c-coil has the long shape and evaluation is to be done assembled condition. In this paper introduce newly developed inspection process and acceptance standards for the ultrasonic inspection of " C" coil butt braze. This inspection system is a semi-automatic ultrasonic flaw detector with data acquisition and retention capable of assessing the relative lack of bond of brazed butt joints

This study describes ultrasonic reflection at a water/fiber reinforced polymer composite/water interface. Theoretical predictions of reflected beam amplitudes are also presented. Four different polymer composite laminates are investigated : T300/5208 graphite/epoxy $[0]_{31T},\;[45/90/-45/0]_{3S},\;[45/-45]_{2S}$, and S-2 glass/epoxy $[0/90]_{4S}$. The analytical leaky plate wave dispersion curves for the unidirectional laminate and other three laminates can be obtained by searching for the minimum magnitude of the reflection coefficient.

This paper describes a sonic polygonal multiple reflection range sensor (SPMRS), which uses multiple reflection properties usually ignored in ultrasonic sensors as disturbances or noises. Targets such as a plane, corner, edge, or cylinder in indoor environments can easily be detected by the multiple reflection patterns obtained with a SPMRS system. Target classification and feature data extraction, such as distance and azimuth to the target, are computed simultaneously by considering the geometrical relationships between the detected targets, and finally the environment model is generated by refining the detected targets. In addition, the narrow field of view of a sonar range sensor is increased and the scanning time is reduced by active motion of the SPMRS stepping servomechanism.
