Compton X-ray backscatter technique has been used to quantitatively assess the impact damage in quasi-isotropic laminated composites and to obtain a cross-sectional profile of impact-damaged laminated composites from the density variation of the cross section. An adaptive filter is applied to the Compton backscattering data for the reconstruction and noise reduction from many sources including quantum noise, especially when the SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) of the image is relatively low. A nonlinear reconstruction model is also proposed to overcome distortion of the Compton backscatter image due to attenuation effects, beam hardening, and irregular distributions of the fibers and the matrix in composites. Delaminations masked or distorted by the first few delaminations near the front surface are detected and characterized both in width and location, by application of an error minimization algorithm.

The detection of micro cracks in materials at the early stage of fracture is important in many structural safety assurance problems. The nonlinear ultrasonic technique (NUT) has been considered as a positive method for this, since it is more sensitive to micro crack than conventional linear ultrasonic methods. The basic principle is that the waveform is distorted by nonlinear stress-displacement relationship on the crack interface when the ultrasonic wave transmits through, and resultantly higher order harmonics are generated. This phenomenon is called the contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN). The purpose of this paper is to prove the applicability of CAN experimentally by detection of micro fatigue crack artificailly initiated in Aluminum specimen. For this, we prepared fatigue specimens of Al6061 material with V-notch to initiate the crack, and the amplitude of second order harmonic was measured by scanning along the crack direction. From the results, we could see that the harmonic amplitude had good correlation with COD and it can be used to detect the crack depth in more accurately than the common 6 dB drop echo method.

본 SP시험법은 사용되는 시편이 미소하다는 장점 때문에 재질의 평가나 더불어 비파괴검사의 일환으로서 이용할 수 있음을 서명해 왔다. 현존하고 있는 거대구조물들의 잔존수명평가가 요 구되는 있는 지금, 정량적인 경년변화측정방법으로서 SP시험법은 높은 가능성을 내포하고 있는 시험법으로 여겨지며, 이 방법을 현장에 정착시키기 위해선 산. 학. 연의 공동연구체제가 필요 하다고 할 수 있다.

As for quality evaluation of paper records, it is very important to measure acidity and moisture in paper. In the case important paper records, it should be measured directly in field. But ISO standard analytical method would be limited to measure directly in field for quality evaluation of paper records until now. Therefore it could be to use mobile small NIR spectrometer for being analyzed by direct and non-invasive method in field. The wavelength range of small spectrometer has from 900 to 1700 nm, and the surface of paper could be measured by diffused reflected optical fiber probe. Thus, the acidity and moisture could be analyzed on the paper record with from 1970 to 2003. As the result, it could be confirmed to have each more than 0.9 as the correlation of acidity and moisture. Thus, it will be possible to develope the evaluation system of paper record with mobile small NIR spectrometer and optical fiber by the result.

The evaluation of clamping condition has been regarded as the main issue in the safety-maintenance of the clamped high-tension bolts. For this, this paper proposes a method to estimate the axial stress by measuring the TOF (Time-Of-Flight) of ultrasonic wave, which is based on the acoustoelasticity or the dependency of sound speed on the stress. In this method, however, the variation of sound speed within the range of stress induced under the field condition is very small, and thus the accuracy of the TOF measurement is important. We adopted the phase detection method using tone-burst ultrasonic wave to measure the precise TOF. In order to verify the usefulness of the proposed method experiments are carried out and the results were compared with the stress measured by the strain gage. The results show good agreement with each other, and from these we can conclude that the proposed method is highly useful fnr the evaluation of clamping condition in the clamped high-tension bolts.

A robust, accurate, broad-band, alternating current sensor using fiber-optics is being developed as a part of optical over current protection relay system. The sensor uses the Faraday effect in optical fiber and polarimetric measurements tc sense electrical current. The current sensing coil consists of a length of twisted optical fiber and Faraday rotator mirror to suppress the linear birefringence effect. Due to its single-ended closed path structure, it can not only be easily installed to the target with great isolation from other fields in the vicinity, but the sensitivity can be increased by using multiple turns. This paper reports on the theoretical backgrounds of the sensor design and the preliminary experimental results.
