In ancient wooden structures, the mechanical properties of the structural members have been reduced by time-dependent degradations such as fatigue or creep. Also, the external and internal deterioration was caused by environmental condition, fungi, bacteria, or insect, and then reduced the quality of structural members. However, the previous methods for evaluating the deterioration have been mainly depended on the visual inspection. In this study, therefore, ultrasonic stress wave test, accelerometer stress wave test were used to evaluate the deterioration of structural wood members in ancient wooden structures. Based on the results, the quantitative criteria of stress wave transmitted velocity were proposed to evaluate the deterioration of structural member. The proposed criteria were related to the degree of deterioration. In accelerometer stress wave, the criteria of deterioration of wave reciprocal velocity was below 1800 ㎲/m at incipient deterioration (below 12% ratio of deterioration), between 1800 and 2200 ㎲/m at moderate deterioration (12~17%) and above 2200 ㎲/m at severe deterioration (above 17%). The ultrasonic stress wave, the criteria of deterioration were 800 and 950 ㎲/m at below 8% and above 15% of the degree of deterioration respectively.

본 연구는 초음파의 주파수별 노출 시간이 녹조현상을 일으키는 Microcystis sp.의 군체에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 각 조사 지점 내의 녹조 생물은 남조강(Cyanophyceae)인 Microcystis sp.가 전체 조류의 약 99.5%를 차지하였다. 초음파의 노출에 따른 녹조류의 chlorophyll-a 농도를 분석해보면 노출시간이 길어짐에 따라 점차적으로 감소하였으며, 특히 70 kHz의 주파수 영역에서 녹조 생물이 세포분열을 통한 생물량의 증가를 억제하는 데 효과적인 것으로 조사되었다. 초음파에 노출되기 전 Microcystis sp.는 단세포가 점액성 물질에 조밀하게 쌓여 있는 군체의 형태로 관찰되었으나 70 kHz 초음파에 노출된 후 Microcystis sp.의 군체의 결속이 약화되고 세포가 군체에서 떨어져 나가는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 초음파는 동 식물성 플랑크톤의 형태적 변화와 운동성에 영향을 미치지 않아 다른 수중 미생물에는 부정적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 초음파는 Microcystis sp.의 군체와 형태적 변화를 유발하고 세포를 파괴시켜 녹조현상을 일으키는 조류의 생물량을 감소시키는 데 효과적으로 작용할 것으로 사료된다.

기존의 펄스에코법은 스틸 연소관 내부에서 고무면으로 초음파를 입사시키므로 검사 도중에 고무면이 오염될 수 있으며, 이로 인해 치명적인 미접착 결함을 유발시킬 수 있다. 상기 방법을 보완할 수 있는 시험 기법을 개발하기 위해 스틸/고무 접착 시험편을 제작하여 스틸면으로 초음파를 입사시켰다. 스틸/고무 접착 시험편으로부터 측정한 고무 공진 주파수는 이론적으로 예측한 공진 주파수와 일치하였다. 본 논문은 고무 공진 주파수를 이용하여 고무 두께를 측정할 수 있는 초음파 공진법에 대해 기술하였다.

The research was tried to investigate the hydrogen generation from water by the pulsed power plasma process. Hydrogen was generated by way of the electrical pulse power discharge process with the ultrasonic wave. The yield on the hydrogen generation was also studied with and without operating the ultrasonic generator, in which the applied high voltage was varied from 10 kV to 15 kV. Nitrogen and argon gases were used as working gases. As the results, the generation yield using the pure nitrogen gas is better than argon and mixed gases such as argon and nitrogen. Hydrogen concentration are significantly increased when the ultrasonic generator was operated with the electrical discharge simultaneously. It is increased with increasing the applied ultrasonic level as well.

A two-step process for increasing the leaching efficiency of yttrium and neodymium from coal fly ash were investigated at solid loadings of 5.0 g ash ~1,000 g ash/l of 1.0 N~10.0 N H₂SO₄, temperature ranging from 30℃ to 90℃, ultrasonic leaching time of 1~10 hours, and ultrasonic power of 25~200 W. The yttrium and neodymium from coal fly ash were effectively leached into ion phases by step change of the first conventional dissolution at room temperature and then the second heating process with the aid of ultrasonic wave, and maximum leaching efficiency of yttrium and neodymium obtained were 66 % and 63 %, respectively. The activation energies for the leaching reaction of yttrium and neodymium at second heating process dependent on leaching time and temperature were derived to be 41.540 kJmol^-1 and 507.92 kJmol^-1, respectively. The optimum conditions for the maximum leaching of yttrium and neodymium were found to be the solid loading of 250 g ash/l of H₂SO₄, solvent concentration of 2.0 N H₂SO₄, and second step process of temperatures of 30℃ for 3 hours and then 90℃ for 4 hours with ultrasonic intensity of 100 W.

차량 주행 중에 타이어에서 발생하는 초음파를 이용하여 손상 물질에 의한 타이어의 손상을 검출하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 손상이 있는 타이어는 회전 주기성이 있는 초음파 신호가 발생하므로 주기성을 검출하기 위해 포락선 검출 전처리 과정을 거친 후 자기상관함수를 사용하였다. 실험에서는 손상된 타이어의 1회전 시간과 자기상관함수를 이용해 구한 주기가 같은 것으로 나타났다. 이로 인해 타이어의 손상 유무를 분별할 수 있는 결과를 도출하였다.

Thermoplastic nanocomposites based on the copolymers of polypropylene (PP)-polystyrene (PS) and organically modified montmorillonite (org-MMT) were produced by using power ultrasonic wave in an intensive mixer. Owing to the unique action of the ultrasonic wave, free radicals of styrene monomers and macroradicals of PP were generated, by which copolymers of PP and PS were formed. Another important aspect of using ultrasonic wave during the mixing process was to enhance nano-scale dispersion of org-MMT by destructing the agglomerates of org-MMT in the polymer matrix. Optimum conditions for the in-situ copolymerization and melt intercalation were studied with various concentrations of styrene monomer, sonication time and different kinds of clay. It was found that a novel attempt carried out in this study yielded further improvement in the mechanical performance of the nanocomposites compared to those produced by the conventional melt mixing process.

Recently, much attention has been given to plasma production under liquid and its applications [1]. However, most of plasma production techniques reported so far utilize high voltage dc, ac, rf or microwave power [2], where damage to discharge electrodes and small discharge volume are remained issues. As an alternative of plasma production method under liquid, we have proposed pulsed microwave excited plasma using slot antenna, where damage to the slot electrode can be minimized and plasma volume can be increased. We have also reported improvement of treatment efficiency with use of reduced-pressure condition during the discharge [3]. To realize low pressure conditions in liquid, various alternative technique can be considered. One possible technique is simultaneous injection of microwave power and ultrasonic wave. Ultrasonic wave induces pressure fluctuation with the wave propagation and is so far used for cavitation production in the water. We propose utilization of reduced pressure induced by ultrasonic cavitation for improvement of the plasma production. Correlation between the plasma production and the ultrasonic power will be discussed.

In this paper, the transducer instead of mechanical dynamic structure was used to generate ultrasonic wave and the horn-shape amplifier was utilized to solve the energy decaying problem of ultrasonic wave with propagating it through the media. The analyses of ultrasonic wave and a fluid for the selected structure of a cleaning head were carried out Based on simulator results, the distance between a horn and the substrate of 4 mm and the horn diameter of 10 mm were determined to maximize the energy of ultrasonic waves. The cool ins structure was also considered to reduce the heat from the transducer and the horn.
