초음파검사는 초음파 펄스가 한 방향으로 진행한다고 하는 지향성을 이용하고 있다. 초음파의 지향성은 전파 방향과 음압 분포의 관계를 나타내고 있으며 탐촉자의 배치, 탐상 감도 및 주사 간격, 결함의 위치 및 특성의 결정에 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 논문은 초음파가시화법을 이용하여 pyrex glass로 만든 가상 맞대기 용접부내의 용접 금속부에 위치한 인공 결함으로부터 산란한 반사 횡파의 지향성을 측정하였다. 2 MHz와 4 MHz의 사각탐촉자가 인공 결함에서의 반사파의 지향성 조사에 사용되었다. 인공 결함으로부터 반사된 횡파의 지향성은 사각탐촉자의 위치 및 가상 용접부의 형상에 따라 달랐으며 2 MHz와 4 MHz의 사각 탐촉자에 따라 반사파의 지향성은 큰 차이를 나타내고 있었다. 또한 가상 용접부의 높이가 커짐에 따라 반사각과 입사각은 비슷하게 되었다.

This paper proposes a novel approach to building an occupancy grid map using sonar data. It is very important for a mobile robot to recognize and construct its surrounding environments for navigation. However, the grid map constructed by ultrasonic sensors cannot represent a realistic shape of given environments due to incorrect sonar measurements caused by specular reflection. To overcome this problem, we propose an advanced sonar sensor model which consists of distance and shape factors used to determine the reliability of sensor data. Through this sensor model, a robot can build a high-quality grid map. The proposed method was verified by various experiments and showed that the robot could build an accurate map with sonar data in various indoor environments.

록볼트는 숏크리트와 함께 지하구조물의 주지보재로써 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 따라서 록볼트에 발생된 공동결함은 지하구조물의 안정성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 최근 록볼트 건전도 평가를 위한 비파괴 검사 방법들 중 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트와 음향방출센서를 사용하는 유도초음파의 투과법과 반사법이 우수한 결과를 보여 주었다. 하지만 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트에서 발생되는 파는 현장에 적용하기에 부족한 에너지의 크기를 가진다. 또한 투과법의 경우 현장에서 록볼트 시공시 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트를 철근 끝단에 설치하여 시공하여야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 충분한 에너지를 발생시킬 수 있는 유도초음파의 반사법을 개발하고 이를 현장에 시공된 록볼트의 건전도를 경가에 적용하는 것이다. 본 연구는 실내실험과 현장실험으로 수행되었다. 충분한 에너지를 갖는 유도초음파를 록볼트 두부에 자국정을 대고 해머로 타격하여 발생시켰으며, 이를 음향방출센서로 수신하였다. 측정된 신호의 분석을 위해 웨이브렛 변환을 이용하였다. 웨이브렛 변환의 최고점으로부터 에너지 속도를 산정하여 록볼트의 건전도를 평가하였다. 유도초음파의 에너지 속도는 실내에 설치된 록볼트 실험체와 현장에 시공된 록볼트의 결함비율이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 해머 타격방법이 현장에서 록볼트 건전도 평가에 유용한 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여 준다.

In this paper, ultrasonic tomography by the Mode-Converted Rayleigh wave (MCRW) in the back-scattered direction is presented. When a beam with a short pulse and narrow beam width enters a reflector with smooth surface, in general, two major arrivals can be observed in the output waveform: the specular reflection and the radiation of the MCRW from the reflector surface. The time-delay between the two waves is relatively large and thus can be measured easily. This large time-delay is due to the fact that the MCRW is slower than incident wave. In our method, this large time- delay is used for ultrasonic image reconstruction. To effectively detect the MCRW, the arrayed-receiving transducers are circularly arranged around the transmitter. In addition, a deconvolution method is employed to remove specular echo signals for reconstructing the MCRW image.

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.

초음파 CT는 tissue characterization을 위해 현재 유용한 기법으로 기시되고 있다. 그러나 이에 의해 재구성된 음속분포 및 감쇠·정교 분제는 초음파 빔의 반사, 굴절, 위상 상쇄 효과 등의 화상 열하요각으로 인해 그 단력상의 정량성 평가에 문제점이 존재한다. 이에, 본 논문은 먼저 초음파 CT 화상의 정량적 평가를 위해 개발한 한천(Agar) gel 팬텀을 이용하여 감표 정수 분포 화상 열하 요인을 검토했다. 그 결과, 팬텀 중앙부에서의 재구성 감쇠정교는, 주위매휴(식단수)영 음속차가 25m1s일 때, 실제치보다 약 0.6dB/cm 정도 작게 나타났다. 다음, 이의 보정법으로 수신용 마이크로프로브 어레이법에 대한 계산기 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 그 유효성을 검토하고, 양호한 결과가 얻어짐을 밟혔다. Although ultrasonic CT is one of the useful techniques for tissue characterization, the reconstructed images, such as the velocity distribution and attenuation constant distribution, are degraded by reflection and refraction of ultrasonic beam. This paper studied the degradation effects on attenuation images using agar gel phantoms which were developed to evaluate ultrasonic CT. We found that the reconstructed attenuation constants at the center of the phantoms were less than the actual values by 0.6 dB/cm when phantom velocity differs by 25 m/s from surrounding saline. We also studied a correction method for refraction and phase cancellation effects, where the correction was made using the maximum value in the received subdata, as obtained by sub-arraying microprobes located at each sampling point. Using this method, we could obtain an improvement in the reconstructed image by the correction on the attenuation effect.

An ultrasonic based magnetostrictive position sensor (MPS) provides an indication of real target position. It determines the real target position by multiplying the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave and the time-of-flight between the receiving signals; one is the initial signal by an excitation current and the other is the reflection signal by the ultrasonic wave. The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave depends on the temperature of the waveguide. Hence, the change of the propagation speed in various environments is a critical factor in terms of the positioning accuracy in the MPS. This means that the influence of the changes in the waveguide temperature needs to be compensated. In this paper, we presents a novel way to improve the positioning accuracy of MPSs using temperature compensation for waveguide. The proposed method used the inherent measurement blind area for the structure of the MPS, which can simultaneously measure the position of the moving target and the temperature of the waveguide without any additional devices. The average positional error was approximately -23.9 mm and -1.9 mm before and after compensation, respectively. It was confirmed that the positioning accuracy was improved by approximately 93%.

The techniques to make assessment of the structural integrity of underground structures include Infrared thermagraphy, GPR using the reflection of the electromagnetic wave, ultrasonic test, seismic methods using the propagation of elastic wave, and etc These methods have pros and cons in the assessment of the structural integrity in the complex environment of the underground structure, so that a single method alone is not enough to evaluate parameters required for the assessment. In this study, a new seismic method was proposed to improve the existing methods and to provide an additional information like stiffness of concrete. The proposed method combines the advantages of the modified impact-echo test and the SASW method. To verify the validity of the proposed method, a large scale model of a tunnel concrete liner was built and the proposed method was applied to the center of the model and also to the corner of the model which has several distinct reflection boundaries.

Numerical modeling of a nondestructive testing system plays an important role in many aspects of quantitative nondestructive evaluation (QNDE). The ultimate goal of a model is to predict test results for a specific flaw in a material. Thus, in ultrasonic testing, a system model should include the transducer, its radiation pattern, the beam reflection and propagation, and scattering from defects. In this paper attention is focused on the scattering model and the scattered fields by defects are observed by an elastodynamic boundary element method. Flaw types addressed are void-like and crack-like flaws. When transverse ultrasonic waves are obliquely incident on the flaw, the angular distribution of far-field scattered displacements are calculated and presented in the form of A-scan mode. The component signals obtained from each scattering problem are identified and their differences are addressed. The numerical results are also compared with those obtained by high frequency approximate solutions.
