본 연구에서는 정상초음파의 간섭에 의해 야기되는 프로판/공기 예혼합화염의 사각관내 전파거동 및 구조안정화를 규명하기 위한 실험결과를 제시한다. 전파화염의 이미지는 고속카메라를 이용하여 획득하였으며, 이미지 후처리를 통해 정상초음파 유무에 따른 화염선단의 구조변이와 전파속도를 상세히 관찰하였다. 전파속도는 정상초음파가 교반하는 경우 증가하였으며, 이론당량비에서 벗어남에 따라 초음파의 영향은 보다 크게 발현하였다. 정상초음파에 의한 화학반응과 혼합의 촉진은 화염선단의 형상에 대한 부력의 영향을 압도하여 화염의 구조적 안정화에 기여한다.

정상초음파장이 개재하는 메탄/공기 예혼합화염의 전파특성에 대한 당량비의 영향을 실험적 연구결과로 제시한다. 화염구조 가시화는 슐리렌 기법을 이용하였으며, 이미지 후처리를 통해 화염 전파 거동을 면밀히 관찰하였다. 정상초음파에 의한 화염 구조 변화가 연소반응을 촉진시켜 화염 전파속도를 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 당량비가 증가할수록 정상초음파에 의한 화염전파속도의 증분은 감소하게 되고, 속도변화가 미미한 당량비 구간이 존재한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, an investigation of shear wave ultrasonic technique was carried out to detect stacking orientation error for CF/Epoxy quasi-isotropy composite laminates. The ultrasonic shear wave is particularly sensitive to ply orientation and layup sequence in tire CF/Epoxy composite laminates. In the manufacturing of composite laminates, it is important that layup errors be detected in samples. In this work, an effect was mack to develop shear wave techniques that can be applied to composite laminates. During testing, the mast significant problem is that the couplant conditions do not remain the same because of its changing viscosity. The design and use of a shear ware transducer would greatly alleviate the couplant problem. A pyramid of aluminum, with isosceles triangle (two 45o angles) sides, was made to generate shear waves, using two longitudinal transducers based on an ultrasonic-polarized mechanism. A signal splitter was connected to the pulser jack on a pulser/receiver and to the longitudinal transducers. The longitudinal transducers were mounted with mineral oil, and the shear transducer was mounted with burnt honey on the bottom as a receiver. The shear wave was generated at a maximum and a minimum based on the ultrasonic-polarized mechanism. Results show it is feasible to measure layup error using shear wave transducers on a stacking of prepregs in composites.

Cast iron pipe has been used as a water distribution technology in North America since the early nineteenth century. The first cast iron pipes were made of grey cast iron which was succeeded by ductile iron as a pipe material in the 1940s. These different iron alloys have significantly different microstructures which give rise to distinct mechanical properties. Insight into the non-destructive structural condition assessment of aging pipes can be advantageous in developing mitigation strategies for pipe failures. This paper examines the relationship between the small-strain and large-strain properties of exhumed cast iron water pipes. Nondestructive and destructive testing programs were performed on eight pipes varying in age from 40 to 130 years. The experimental program included microstructure evaluation and ultrasonic, tensile, and flexural testing. New applications of frequency domain analysis techniques including Fourier and wavelet transforms of ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements are presented. A low correlation between wave propagation and large-strain measurements was observed. However, the wave velocities were consistently different between ductile and grey cast iron pipes (14% to 18% difference); the ductile iron pipes showed the smaller variation in wave velocities. Thus, the variation of elastic properties for ductile iron was not enough to define a linear correlation because all the measurements were practically concentrated in single cluster of points. The cross-sectional areas of the specimens tested varied as a result of minor manufacturing defects and levels of corrosion. These variations affect the large strain testing results; but, surface defects have limited effect on wave velocities and may also contribute to the low correlations observed. Lamb waves are typically not considered in the evaluation of ultrasonic pulse velocity. However, Lamb waves were found to contribute significantly to the frequency content of the ultrasonic signals possibly resulting in the poor correlations observed. Therefore, correlations between wave velocities and large strain properties obtained using specimens manufactured in the laboratory must be used with caution in the condition assessment of aged water pipes especially for grey cast iron pipes.

목재의 결함을 탐지하는 비파괴 진단법 중에서 초음파를 이용한 비파괴 시험법은 그 경제성과 사용에서 큰 장점을 지니고 있어, 그 활용과 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 그러나 현재까지의 연구는 입목 또는 원목 등과 같이 비파괴 평가를 위한 측정이 비교적 적은 경우에 국한되어 있어, 목조 문화재 등을 비롯한 구조물의 부재와 같이 부재의 일부 면만을 측정할 수 있는 경우에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에는 이러한 초음파 시험기의 측정방법의 제한을 극복하는 방법을 모색하고자 그 첫 번째 단계로 결함을 갖는 목재 내에서 초음파 전달 경로를 구명하고자 하였다. 다양한 전달 경로 모델을 가정하고 실제 실험과 비교를 통해 초음파 전달의 가장 적합한 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 실험 시편에 인위적인 결함을 만들어 실험한 결과 초음파가 직접 전달될 수 없는 부분의 경우 그 결함을 피해서 전달되고 전달 경로는 탐촉자의 반대 측면에서 일차반사를 통해 전달되는 것으로 판단되었다.

A fundamental study was conducted to obtain the basic data involved in nondestructive quality evaluation of the fruit and vegetables. An experimental equipment for ultrasonic propagation characteristics of the fruit and vegetables such as radish , carrot , potato, and apple was set up and also power spectrum analysis system of an ultrasonic wave through the fruit and vegetables was set up. The velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic wave through the tissue specimens from the fruit and vegetables were measured and analyzed. The elastic modulus and density by the mechanical method currently used were compared with those using by ultrasonic method. The ultrasonic tranit time was almost linearly increased with the length of the specimens and attenuation of ultrasonic was mainly affected by the internal flbrous structure of the products. The regression equation was derived from the highly correlated experimental variables.

초음파 시험기를 이용하여 목재의 파단형상이 초음파의 속도에 미치는 영향과 송수신단자의 위치 변화를 통한 효율적인 결점부위 탐색방법을 검토하였다. 파단의 방향에 따른 초음파 속도는 송수신 단자와 평행방향의 파단에서는 영향을 미치지 않고 수직방향 파단에서만 영향을 주었다. 이는 초음파의 진행 경로에 결점부위가 위치하지 않을시 결점을 파악하지 못하는 단점을 보였다. 또한, 초음파의 진행방향과 수직으로 파단이 되었더라도 초음파가 진행되는 직선상에 파단부위가 존재하는 경우에만 파단여부를 확인할 수 있었다. 결점부위 판별 방법은 송수신 단자를 시편 양끝부분에 서로 엇갈리게(한쪽은 상단부에 반대편은 하단부에 위치) 위치시켰을 때 파단 존재여부가 확인되었다. 일정구간의 파단을 확인한 후 두 송수신 단자를 폭 방향으로 마주보게 위치시켜 구간별로 이동시키며 탐색하면 결점부위가 정밀하게 판별되었다.

The ultrasonic guided wave-based technique has become one of the most promising methods in non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring, because of its advantages of large area inspection, evaluating inaccessible areas on the structure and high sensitivity to small damage. To further advance the development of damage detection technologies using ultrasonic guided waves for the inspection of welded components in structures, the transmission characteristics of the ultrasonic guided waves propagating through welded joints with various types of defects or damage in steel plates are studied and presented in this paper. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model considering the different material properties of the mild steel, high strength steel and austenitic stainless steel plates and their corresponding welded joints as well as the interaction condition of the steel plate and welded joint, is developed. The FE model is validated against analytical solutions and experimental results reported in the literature and is demonstrated to be capable of providing a reliable prediction on the features of ultrasonic guided wave propagating through steel plates with welded joints and interacting with defects. Mode conversion and scattering analysis of guided waves transmitted through the different types of weld defects in steel plates are performed by using the validated FE model. Parametric studies are undertaken to elucidate the effects of several basic parameters for various types of weld defects on the transmission performance of guided waves. The findings of this research can provide a better understanding of the transmission behaviour of ultrasonic guided waves propagating through welded joints with defects. The method could be used for improving the performance of guided wave damage detection methods.

Ultrasonic wave technology was employed to improve filtration performance and ethanol production in a bioreactor equipped with an internal ceramic-membrane filter module. The filtration performance was found to depend on the power and the pattern of ultrasonic wave irradiation. Under the optimized conditions (irradiation time: 25 see, period: 5 min, and ultrasonic power: 60 W), the flux was improved with the periodic-pause method by 200-700％ compared with the control (with no irradiation), while the improvement was only 30 to 90％ without the periodic-pause method. The final ethanol concentration also increased slightly. However, in a more severe condition (irradiation time: 2.5 min, period: 5 min, and ultrasonic power: 110 W), the irradiation of ultrasonic waves was observed to disturb cell integrity and viability, and thus to decrease ethanol production.
