To investigate spray and combustion of emulsified fuel of W/O type, we mixed water with light oil by using ultrasonic energy adding system. We measured the SMD of sprayed droplet to find atomization characteristics of emulsified fuel with using the Malvern 2600D system. Major parameters are the weight ratio of water($0{\sim}30%$ by 10%) in emulsified fuel injection pressure(lobar), and the measurement distance($10{\sim}100mm$ by 10mm). Combustion visualizing system is made up commonly used boiler system and digital camera 1/500s to investigate combustion phenomena. As a result, the more water contents increased, the more SMD increased. The water particle of emulsified fuel made short flame in continuos spray combustion phenomena because of micro explosion.

위치인식시스템은 이동로봇이 실내에서 주행하는데 가장 중요한 기술의 하나인데 본 논문에서 연구된 시스템은 GPS 시스템과 유사하게 3 개이상의 위성 비이컨에서 초음파와 무선통신파를 발사하고 로봇에 부착된 리시버는 초음파와 무선통신파의 수신되는 시간차를 계산하여 각 비컨까지의 거리를 구하고 또한 이로부터 로봇의 위치를 계산한다. 일반적으로 거리정보는 초음파의 한 파장 이내의 오차를 가지게 되는데 본 논문에서는 이에 따른 위치오차를 테일러 확장과 SVD(Singular Value Decomposition)를 이용하여 구하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 거리오차에 따른 위치오차의 정확도를 잴 수 있는 값으로 민감도를 제시하였다.

This study introduces about development of multi-DOF ultrasonic motor that are composed of a bar-shaped stator and a spherical rotor. The ultrasonic motor is a motor which is operated by vibrations over frequency of 20kHz. The multi-DOF ultrasonic motor will be developed by expanding the basic theory of existing 1-DOF ultrasonic motor. It can generate 3-DOF rotation of the rotor around perpendicular axes using 3 vibration modes of stator. By using finite element methods, the optimal dimension of stator is decided and made the components of stator. When we apply the multi-DOF ultrasonic motor composed of rotor and stator to the driving test system, it will be checked whether the motor can be driven at the direction of 3-DOF or not. And it is proposed how the simulation of square bar shaped multi-DOF ultrasonic motor is accomplished.

The periodic inspection of piping and pressure vessels welds in nuclear power plant has to provide reliable result related to weld flaws, such as location, maximum amplitude response, ultrasonic length, height and finally the nature or flaw pattern. The founded flaw in ultrasonic inspection is accepted or rejected based on these data. Specially, the amplitude of flaw response is used as basic parameter for flaw sizing and it may cause some deviation in length sizing result. Currently the ultrasonic inspections in nuclear power plant components are performed by specific inspection procedure which describing inspection technique include inspection system, calibration methodology and flaw characterizing. To perform ultrasonic inspection during in-service inspection, reference gain should be established before starting ultrasonic inspection by the requirement of ASME code. This reference gain used as basic criteria to evaluate flaw sizing. Sometimes, a little difference in establishing reference gain between calibration and field condition can lead to deviation in flaw sizing. Due to this difference, the inspection result may cause flaw sizing error. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the ultrasonic amplitude difference between air filled and water filled pipe in nuclear power plant. Additionally, the accuracy of flaw sizing is estimated by comparing both conditions.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of local ultrasonic forcing on a turbulent boundary layer. Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) was used to probe the characteristics of the flow. A ultrasonic forcing system was made by adhering six ultrasonic transducers to the local flat plate. Cavitation which generates uncountable minute air-bubbles having fast wall normal velocity occurs when ultrasonic was projected into water. The SPIV results showed that the wall normal mean velocity is increased in a boundary layer dramatically and the streamwise mean velocity is reduced. The skin friction coefficient (C$_{f}$) decreases 60$\%$and gradually recovers at the downstream. The ultrasonic forcing reduces wall-region streamwise turbulent intensity, however, streamwise turbulent intensity is increased away from the wall. Wall-normal turbulent intensity is almost the same near the wall but it increases away from the wall. In the vicinity of the wall, Reynold shear stress, sweep strength and production of turbulent kinetic energy were decreased. This suggests that the streamwise vortical structures are lifted by ultrasonic forcing and then skin friction is reduced.

In ultrasonic medical imaging, spatial compounding of images is a technique where ultrasonic beam is steered to examine patient tissues in multiple angles. In the conventional ultrasonic diagnostic imaging, the steering of the ultrasonic beam is achieved electronically using the phased array transducer elements. In this paper, a spatial compounding approach is presented where the ultrasonic probe element is rotated mechanically and the beam steering is achieved mechanically. In the spatial compounding, target position is computed using the value of the rotation axis and the transducer array angular position. However, in the process of the rotation mechanism construction and the control system there arises the inevitable uncertainties in these values. These geometric parameter errors result in the target position error, and the consequence is a blurry compounded image. In order to reduce these target position errors, we present a spatial compounding scheme where error correcting transformation matrices are computed and applied to the raw images before spatial compounding to reduce the blurriness in the compounded image. The proposed scheme is illustrated using phantom and live scan images of human knee, and it is shown that the blurriness is effectively reduced.

The importance of soundness and safety evaluation in weld zone using by the ultrasonic wave has been recently increased rapidly because of the collapses of huge structures and safety accidents. Especially, the ultrasonic method that has been often used for a major non-destructive testing(NDT) technique in many engineering fields plays an important role as a volume test method. Hence, the defecting any defects of weld Bone in austenitic stainless steel type 304 using by ultrasonic wave and neural network is explored in this paper. In order to detect defects, a distance amplitude curve on standard scan sensitivity and preliminary scan sensitivity represented of the relation between ultrasonic probe, instrument, and materials was drawn based on a quantitative standard. Also, a total of 93％ of defect types by testing 30 defect patterns after organizing neural network system, which is learned with an accuracy of 99％, based on ultrasonic evaluation is distinguished in order to classify defects such as holes or notches in experimental results. Thus, the proposed ultrasonic wave and neural network is useful for defect detection and Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation(UNDE) of weld zone in austenitic stainless steel 304.

In the ultrasonic welding machine, when the load fluctuates, the L and C of the piezo element in the oscillation part change. As a result, the resonant frequency is changed, so it is necessary to match the operating frequency of the ultrasonic welding machine to the new resonant frequency. That is, in order to maximize the output of the oscillation unit of the ultrasonic welding machine, it is inevitable to follow the resonance frequency. Accordingly, many methods for following the resonant frequency are being actively studied. In addition, in order to check the effect of external inductance on the operation of the ultrasonic welding machine, The equivalent circuit of the piezo element was analyzed by including the external inductance for resonance in the equivalent circuit of the piezo element, and the method of selecting an appropriate inductance was described. In this paper, we propose a new system that allows the switching frequency of the inverter to tracking the resonance frequency even if the resonance frequency is changed due to the load of the ultrasonic welding machine.
