In this study, the properties of shear wave velocity of coarse gravel in filldams are analyzed. Shear wave velocity is derived using the surface wave analysis method, which can be used nondestructively on the surface of filldams. These values are acquired through the tests for the rock zone of six filldams by SASW and HWAW methods. These analytical results are compared with results obtained through the frequently-used empirical method of Sawada and Takahashi.

This paper investigates the corrosion property of sprinkler pipe and provides the prevention solution. This study examines the property of stainless pipe widely used as sprinkler pipe and performs theoretical studies on the corrosion procedure. It was found that corrosion of the pipes mainly results from deterioration of pipe and wrong installation. The test result is expected to be useful in designing of the pipe system and minimizing of the corrosion.

미계측 유역에서의 수문 예측은 유역의 다차원 시공간에서 일어나고 있는 수문학적 기능에 대한 깊은 이해와 성찰을 요구한다. 유역면적의 2/3가 미계측 지역인 임진강 유역은 북한지역과 중첩하고 있어 관측자료가 불충분 하고 소량의 관측자료가 존재하더라도 기후변화로 인해 환경이 변화하기 때문에 미계측 지역 연구에 적당하다. 이에 따라 수문학적 반응을 예측할 수 있도록 비접촉 비파괴적인 도구를 이용하여 수집된 자료를 통해 미계측 유역에 대한 정확한 신뢰성 구축을 마련할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 신뢰성 구축을 위한 방법으로는 현장답사 및 항공사진에 비하여 넓은 지역을 한번에 관측할 수 있는 Landsat TM 영상을 이용하여 북한의 지형과 토지피복특성 등을 구축하고, 준분포형 모형인 SLURP를 이용하여 소유역으로 구분 된 ASA의 하도 추적을 통해 전체유역의 출구지점 유출량을 산정하였다. 또한 예측 불확실성을 감소시키기 위해 wamis에서 제공하는 GIS Data와 위성영상의 Data를 비교하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 미계측 지역의 불확실성을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 비교 분석이 가능하였다.

Image processing methods for an extraction of a nuclear fuel rod image and visualization methods of the RGB color data were studied with a sectional image of spent fuel assembly. The fuel rod images could be extracted by using a histogram analysis, an edge detection and RGB rotor data. In these results, a size of the spent fuel assembly could be measured by using a histogram analysis method and a shape of the spent fuel rod could be observed by using an edge detection method. Finally, a various analyses were established for status of the spent fuel assembly by realized various 3D images for the color data in an image of a spent fuel assembly.

Due to the development of nondestructive testing techniques, methods of inspecting cracks in mechanical parts have drawn attentions. Among various non-destructive testing methods the acoustic resonance method which analyzes the natural frequencies has been developed into a technique suitable for the prompt judgements of the existence of the defects in the mechanical parts. In this study, we investigated the crack inspection technique to examine the cracks in the yoke tubes by using the acoustic resonance method and realized the system to quickly detect the cracks. A 24bit ADC circuit and an MCU were installed for the smooth data collection, and a TCP / IP communication interface was configured for the data communication with PC. We used a microphone as a sensor measuring the vibrations. We constructed an analysis software to obtain the frequency spectra of the vibrations, to find the existence of the cracks, and to feedback to the user. Tests were conducted using the yoke tubes manufactured in the real industrial field. The tests were successfully conducted to distinguish the good products from the defective (cracked) products and confirmed that they can be employed in the actual industrial field.

This study is damage evaluation for CNG fuel tank during the burst test through the analysis of acoustic emission signals. Kaiser effect until the pressure 420 bar appears, but More than 420 bar by the creep effect appears significantly damaged vessels, and 480 bar pressure, the Kaiser effect of the rising phase was missing. Resonant transducer at 540 bar than 480 bar decreased activity such as energy and count Continually, but increased wideband transducer. In addition, through the rise time or frequency analysis of composite pressure vessels in order to observe the damage mechanisms wideband transducer is more effective than resonant transducer.

The fatigue crack growth behavior of a cracked and patch-repaired Ah2024-T3 panel has been monitored by acoustic emission(AE). The overall crack growth rate was reduced The crack propagation into the adjacent hole was also retarded by introducing the patch repair. AE signals due to crack growth after the patch repair and those due to debonding of the plate-patch interface were discriminated by usiag the principal component analysis. The former showed high center frequency and low amplitude, whereas the latter showed long rise tine, low frequency and high amplitude. This type of AE signal recognition method could be effective for the prediction of fatigue crack growth behavior in the patch-repaired structures with the aid of AE source location.

Here is an introduction of the conservation and making process of Seodae(Rank Belt with A Rhinoceros' Horn) of the Chuncheon National Museum. The seodae has a structure composed of wrapping fabric around a leather frame and decorated with ttidon(an ornament) made of a rhinoceros' horn and a metal frame. The adhesion between leather was weak and separation was taking place, parts of the horn were missing and the fabric was discoloring. Also the metal frame and the metal wire attaching ttidon were severly corroded. Nondestructive analysis was carried out by using a portable x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to analyze the components of the metal parts. Conservation was carried out by dismantling parts and carrying out conservation process of each one according to material, then the parts were put back together.

Eddy current (EC) testing methods are widely used in a variety of applications including the inspection of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants, aircraft parts and airframes. A key factor that affects the EC signal is lift-off which means the physical distance between a sensor and a specimen in the testing. In practice, it is difficult to keep track of the actual value of the lift -off during a specific experiment, simulation or testing in the field, which is essential for accurate interpretation of the signal to be used in the following steps. Hence it is necessary to have a scheme to render the EC signal invariant to the effects of lift-off in spite of the changes in the real world. This paper describes a new method for compensating EC signals for variations in lift-off by acquiring an invariance feature using a homomorphic operator and neural network techniques. The signals from various lift-offs are transformed to obtain a zero lift-off equivalent signal that can be subsequently used for defect characterization in the next step.

This paper presents a new technique for monitoring the concrete curing process using embedded piezoelectric transducers via admittance measurements. When a piezoelectric transducer is embedded in a structure, the electrical impedance (admittance) of the transducer is coupled with the mechanical impedance of the host structure, which allows monitoring of the structural condition. In this study, the admittance signatures are used for monitoring the concrete curing process. This new method is based on an admittance-based sensor diagnostic process, in which the capacitance values of the piezoelectric transducers are dependent on the strength of the host structure. We numerically and experimentally investigated the variations in capacitive value during the curing process. The results demonstrate that there is a clear relationship between the concrete curing status and the slope, this indicates that the proposed method could be efficiently used for monitoring the curing status of a concrete structure.
