Abstract

Acoustic emission (AE) is one of the most powerful techniques for detecting damages and identify damage location during operations. However, in case of the source location technique, there is some limitation in conventional AE technology, because it strongly depends on wave speed in the corresponding structures having heterogeneous composite materials. A compressed natural gas(CNG) pressure vessel is usually made of carbon fiber composite outside of vessel for the purpose of strengthening. In this type of composite material, locating impact damage sources exactly using conventional time arrival method is difficult. To overcome this limitation, this study applied the previously developed Contour D/B map technique to four types of CNG storage tanks to identify the source location of damages caused by external shock. The results of the identification of the source location for different types were compared.

음향방출기법은 구조물에 존재하는 손상 및 손상 메커니즘을 규명하는 가장 유효한 비파괴검사 수단으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 손상위치표정 기법은 탄성파 전파 속도에 크게 의존하는 기법의 한계에 의하여 복합재료 또는 이종의 재료로 구성된 구조물에서의 손상을 탐지하기 어려운 한계점을 가지고 있다. 최근 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있는 압축천연가스(CNG) 저장용기는 무게와 강성의 효율을 위하여 복합재료를 사용하여 외부를 보강하는 새로운 형태의 구조를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 다층 복합소재의 사용으로 기존의 손상탐지기법으로는 저장용기의 외부에서 가해지는 충격 혹은 결함에 의한 저장탱크에 발생한 손상의 측정이 매우 어렵게 되었다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통하여 개발된 에너지 기반 contour D/B map 기법을 이용하여 4 가지 형식의 CNG 저장탱크에 발생한 외부 충격 신호의 손상 위치를 측정하였다. 각각의 형식의 저장탱크에서 측정된 손상 위치 결과를 비교 분석하여 새로운 기법의 측정 성능을 알아보았다.
