Ultrasonic Spectroscopy technique, covering a wide frequency range, is one of the powerful Nondestructive Evaluation method for detection of microdefects and thickness measurement of thin film below the linit of ultrasonic distance resolution in various types of masterials and composites, provides a useful information that connot be obtained by a conventional measuring system using a single frequency. Results of computer simulation of multiple reflection wave were applied for particular cases : measurements of thickness and Ultrasonic wave velocities propagating normal to the surface in Acryle thin films can be evaluted by using the interference phenomenon, even dimensions of interest are smaller than the ultrasonic wavelength. The repeatability of the thickness measurement in 0.28 mm thin film was 10$\^$-3/.

In the present work, ultrasonic testing method has been developed to evaluate adhesive layers in rocket motor case assembly for the reliability of the rocket. The main objective of the present work was to find debonding between steel and rubber layers. The relationship between adhesion ratio and reflected ultrasonic amplitude was calculated by considering reflection coefficient at the interface between steel and rubber layers. It was found that the higher amplitude of ultrasound is reflected for the debonding area, and shown good agreements with experimental results. The ultrasonic C-scan images offers good implements for the determination of debonding area. The nondestructive testing results were compared with the micrography of destruective testing. As results, ultrasonic testing could be utilized for the evaluation of adhesive layer in the rocket motor case assembly.

An ultrasonic self-calibrating technique for the characterization of a ceramic which was fabricated by change pressing time during the HIP process has been applied by using the ratio of the reflection and transmission coefficients of normal incidence longitudinal waves. The ratio is self-compensated, in that it is independent of the characteristics for transmission and reception of ultrasound by the transducer and the condition of the couplant. The insensitive direction in parameter space is defined as the direction in which the variation of the ratio to changes of two parameters vanishes. For inverse problem the distribution of minima in an error surface is investigated.

As an attempt to further improve the reliability and effectiveness of ultrasonic testing (UT), a two-dimensional numerical simulator of UT was developed. The simulator models the wave medium (or test object) using the mass-spring lattice model (MSLM) that consists of mass-points and springs. Some previous simulation results, obtained by using MSLM, are briefly reviewed in this paper, for propagation, reflection, and scattering of ultrasonic waves. Next, the models of transmitting and receiving piezoelectric transducers are introduced with some numerical results, which is a main focus of this paper. The UT simulator, established by combining the transducer models with the MSLM, was used to simulate many UT setups. In this paper, two simple setups are considered as examples, and their simulated A-scan signals are discussed. The potential of the MSLM, transducer models, and the UT simulator developed in this study to be used in the actual UT is confirmed.

Intelligent robots are widely needed in various areas of industry from extremely dangerous environments to service tasks. For autonomous mobile robots, it is significant to move itself safely to a destination point, recognizing its surroundings. Advances in sensor technology and its applications are achieved in order to develop an intelligent robot. In this paper, a mobile robot with a path-finding algorithm is presented. The path-finding algorithm is the one that does not only find a path to designated destination and also recognizes obstacles on the way, calculating its distance. 10 ultrasonic sensor are mounted on the front and rear of the mobile robot to figure out its position. Specular reflection and wide viewing angle, which are inherent characteristics of ultrasonic waves, cause errors in measuring distance.

This paper addresses the issue fo target classification and localization with a SONAR for mobiler robot indoor navigation. In particular, multiple refetions of SONAR sound are used actively and interntionally. As for the SONAR sensor, the multiple reflection has been generally considered as one of the noisy phenomena, which is inevitable in the indoor environments. However, these multiple reflections can be a clue for classifying and localizing targets in the indoor environment if those can be controlled and used well. This paper develops a new SONAR sensor module with a reflection plane which can actively create the multiple refection. This paper also intends to suggest a new target classification emthod which uses the multiple refectiions. We approximate the world as being two dimensional and assume that the targets consisting of the indoor environment are pland, corner, and edge. Multiple reflection paths of an acoustic bean by a SONAR are analyzed, by simulations and the patterns of the TOPs (Time Of Flight) and angles of multiple reflections from each target are also analyzed. In addition, a new algorithm for target classification and localization is proposed.

본 연구는 이종 접착 재질의 접착계면에서 미접착 결함을 검출하기 위한 새로운 시험 기법을 개발하기 위함이다. 접착계면과 미접착계면에서의 초음파 전달 현상을 이론적으로 해석하여 초음파 신호를 모델링하였고, 이론적 분석에 기초하여 미접착계면에서의 위상 반전 현상을 애용한 검사 방법을 FRP/고무 시편에 적용하였다. 정량적으로 결함의 최소 검출 능력을 평가하기 위하여 알루미늄/고무 시편에 평저공을 가공하여 제작하였고 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 펄스에코반사법과 새로운 시험 기법인 위상반전법을 상호 비교하였으며 이론적으로 예측한 초음파 신호와 실험에서 얻은 초음파 신호를 근거로 위상반전법으로 미접착 결함을 검출할 수 있다고 판단하였다.

Ultrasonic microscope has been used to detect the defects on surface or inner solid. Conventionally, it has used at a single operating frequency. The resolution and quality of the measured images are determined by a characteristic of the transducer of the ultrasonic microscope. The conventional ultrasonic microscope has been used envelope detector to detect the amplitude of reflected signal, but the changes in amplitude is not sensitive enough for specimen with microstructure that in phase. In this paper, we have studied multi-frequency depth resolution enhancement with ultrasonic reflection microscope for the reflectors of a stainless steel reference specimen and a reference calibration block to be used as the material in nuclear power plants for ISI, PSI. Increased depth resolution can be obtained by taking two, three-dimensional images at more that one frequency and numerically combining the results. As results of the experiment, we could get enhanced images with the rate of contrast in proportion and high quality signal distribution for the image to the changing rate of depth for the reflectors of the two kinds of specimens.

초음파탐상법을 이용하여 마이크로미터의 크기 작은 결함을 검출하기 위해서는 높은 공진주파수와 큰 분해능의 초음파 변환기가 필요하다. 초음파 변환기의 공진주파수와 분해능은 변환기에 사용된 압전소자의 두께, 후면재 및 탐상 시스템 간의 전기 임피던스 정합과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 이 중 전기 임피던스 매칭은 초음파 변환기와 초음파탐상 시스템 사이의 서로 다른 입 출력단을 연결하는 과정에서, 두 연결단의 전기적 임피던스 차이에 의한 에너지 반사와 손실을 줄이는 중요한 역할을 한다. 임피던스 정합에서 흔히 많이 사용하는 방법은 LC-정합회로이다. 이러한 LC-정합을 통해 탐상 시스템과 초음파 변환기의 전기 임피던스를 $50{\Omega}$으로 맞추어 두 연결단 사이의 임피던스 차이를 보정해 줌으로서 초음파 변환기에서 발생되는 전기신호의 손실을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 15 MHz의 공진주파수를 가지는 광대역 수침형 초음파 탐촉자를 제작하고 광대역 특성을 갖는 초음파 변환기를 위한 LC 임피던스 정합법을 적용하였다.
