본 연구는 화강암 폐재의 재활용을 목적으로 한 기초적인 연구로서, 분말형태의 화강암폐재를 Ca(OH2)와 혼합하여 수열 hot press 법에 의해 고화시켰다. 아울러 고화체의 기계적 성질을 평가하였으며, 미시적 조직구조의 변화 및 파괴거동을 파악하기 위해 음향방출실험을 실시하였다. 고화체의 기계적 성질은 수열온도의 의존성이 있었으며, 28$0^{\circ}C$에서 최대강도를 보였다. 또한 고화체의 파면은 수열온도에 따라 현저히 다른 양상을 보였으며, 수열실험동안 다양한 화합물이 생성되었다. 그 중에서 cyclowollastonite, tobermorite 및 rankinite 등은 강도를 향상시키는 주된 화합물이었고, crossite 및 xonotlite 등은 강도의 저하를 초래하였다. 한편, 기공이 많이 존재할수록 AE counts는 더많이 발생하였으며, 최대하중에서 AE counts는 최대치를 보였고, 강도가 증가함에 따라 AE신호는 보다 많이 방출되었다.

Interfacial and microfailure properties of the modified steel, carbon and glass fibers/cement composites were investigated using electro-pullout test under tensile and compressive tests with acoustic emission (AE). The hand-sanded steel composite exhibited higher interfacial shear strength (IFSS) than the untreated and even neoalkoxy zirconate (Zr) treated steel fiber composites. This might be due to the enhanced mechanical interlocking, compared to possible hydrogen or covalent bonds. During curing process, the contact resistivity decreased rapidly at the initial stage and then showed a level-off. Comparing to the untreated case, the contact resistivity of either Zr-treated or hand-sanded steel fiber composites increased to the infinity at latter stage. The number of AE signals of hand-sanded steel fiber composite was much more than those of the untreated and Zr-treated cases due to many interlayer failure signals. AE waveforms for pullout and frictional signals of the hand-sanded composite are larger than those of the untreated case. For dual matrix composite (DMC), AE energy and waveform under compressive loading were much higher and larger than those under tensile loading, due to brittle but well-enduring ceramic nature against compressive stress. Vertical multicrack exhibits fur glass fiber composite under tensile test, whereas buckling failure appeared under compressive loading. Electro-micromechanical technique with AE can be used as an efficient nondestructive (NDT) method to evaluate the interfacial and microfailure mechanisms for conductive fibers/brittle and nontransparent cement composites.

An acoustic emission technique was applied to the structural strength test for the structural integrity evaluation of the nozzle assembly. These AE results were compared with data from the strain gages and displacement transducer. NDT using X-ray technique was performed to improve the test reliability before and after each test. In this structural integrity evaluation of the nozzle assembly, the internal crack initiation in the structure could not be precisely revealed by the strain and displacement results but the location and load level of the initiated crack could be precisely evaluated by using AE technique. From this test, it was proven that some new cracks can be generated in composite liner of nozzle assembly under the unexpected load due to interference between obturator and nozzle and these can be a cause of the unexpected abnormal failure.

The study was performed to study the effects of strain rate on acoustics emission( AE) during bulging test in corrosive environmentsynthetic sea water. The strain rates used were in the range $4 \times 10^{-6}S^{-1}$ to $1 \times 10^{-4} \times S^{-1}$ and the parameters used to evaluate AE signal characteristics were AE hit and amplitude. It can be observed that the cumulative AE hit and average amplitude during fracture process increase highly at decreasing strain rates while the equivalent fracture strain and the crack length of circumferencial direction become decrease. The peak point of AE signal characteristic parameters approach to the first half of test. When the average amplitude per unit equivalent fracture strain was above 20dB, it was definitly observed stress corrosion cracking phenomena. Additional, we knew that the AE test had the possibility to evaluate SCC susceptibility with various strain rates.

An investigation on nondestructive evaluation of thermal stress-nduced damage in the composite laminates (3mm in thickness and $[+45_6/-45_6]_s$ lay-up angles) has been performed using the thermo-acoustic emission technique. Reduction of thermo-AE events due to repetitive thermal load cycles showed a Kaiser effect. An analysis of the thermo-AE behavior determined the stress free temperature of composite laminates. Fiber fracture and matrix cracks were observed using the optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and ultrasonic C-sean. Short-Time Fourier Transform of thermo-AE signals offered the time-frequency characteristics which might classily the thermo-AE as three different types to estimate the damage processes of the composites.

The grain size of aluminum alloy was refined to the submicrometer level by using equal-channel angular pressing(ECAP). The effect of grain size refinement was evaluated by the tensile test, micro-hardness test, microstructure observations, ultrasonic test and acoustic emission test. The strength and the Vickers hardness were increased significantly according to grain size refinement after equal-channel angular pressed. The ultrasonic velocity was faster after equal-channel angular pressed, and the high frequency range appeared. The results of the ultrasonic velocity and the frequency range are expected to be basic data that can prove the grain size refinement

대형 상용차용 내연기관에서 방출되는 소음의 음압 레벨은 경우에 따라 140dBA 이상으로 환경소음 배출규제에 부합되는 배출 소음을 위하여는 소음기의 적절한 설계가 필요하다 하겠다. 소음기는 방출 소음을 저감시키는 기본적인 작용 이외에 엔진의 효율을 저하시키는 배압(back-pressure) 상승의 효과를 동반할 뿐만 아니라 차체에의 장착을 위하여 크기와 무게의 제약을 받는다. 따라서 소음기는 설계자의 경험과 과거에 사용되어 온 소음기에 대한 이해, 소음기를 구성하는 단위 요소에 대한 음향학적 해석이론, 제작 과정에서의 경험과 튜닝 등에 바탕을 두고 설계되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대형 상용차에 장착되는 기존 소음기 구성요소의 투과 손실(Transmission Loss: TL)을 전달 행렬법으로 해석하여 음향학적 특성을 규명하고 개별 소음기 요소에 대한 기존의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 공명기와 다공 요소를 이용하여 기존 소음기를 재설계함으로써 배출 소음의 저감을 이루어 나간 과정을 소개하고 이를 적용 사례를 중심으로 살펴보고 있다. 소음기의 설계를 위하여 고려할 수 있는 음향학적 요소는 그 기능과 형태면에서 다양하나 본 연구에서는 대형 상용차용 소음기에 주로 사용 가능한 공명기와 다공관을 주된 설계요소로 생각하였다. 공명기는 공명 주파수 대역의 소음을 저감하는 역할을 하므로 일정한 엔진 회전수 하에서 엔진의 방출 소음중 폭발 성분에 의한 소음을 줄이는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있지만 가속 주행시에는 회전수(rpm)의 변화에 따라 폭발 주기가 변화하게 되므로 공명기의 설계에 주의를 기울여야 한다. 내연 기관용 소음기에 빈번하게 쓰이는 다공 요소의 해석 방법으로는 Sullivan[1], Kim and Yoon[2] 등의 분할 접근 방법(Segmentation approach)과 Jayaraman and Yam[3], Munjal[4], Peat[5] 등의 연성 제거 방법(Decoupling Approach)등이 제시되었고 평면파 영역에 한하여 해서되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 분할 접근 방법(Segmentation Approach)을 이용하여 다공 요소로 이루어진 소음기를 해석하는데 적용하였다.

Acoustic emission (AE) signals are detected during the polymerization shrinkage of composite resin restoration in artificial dental ring according to various interfacial treatment conditions. AE amplitudes and the number of AE hit events were compared through the non-parametric statistics of Mann-Whitney method and Kruskal-Wallis method. The AE amplitudes detected from the PMMA and human tooth ring specimens were not significantly different according to adhesive conditions. The stainless steel ring specimen, meanwhile, had a difference in AE amplitude (p<0.05). The quantity of hit events for the human molar dentin specimens of the good bonding state was much less than that for the steel ring specimen but more than that for the PMMA ring specimen. For the same substrate, the better the bonding state, the less the AE hit events (p<0.05). The degree of marginal disintegration measured by SEM was proportional to the amount of AE hit events detected.

This study is to evaluate the characteristics of SCC at the welded region of high strength steel using acoustic emission(AE) method. Specimens were loaded by a slow strain rate method in synthetic seawater and the damage process was monitored simultaneously by AE method. Corrosive environment was controlled using the potentiostat, in which -0.8V and -1.1V were applied to the specimens. In the case of one-pass weldment subjected to -0.8V, much more AE counts were detected compared with the PWHT specimen. It was verified through the cumulative counts that coalescence of micro cracks and cracks for the one pass weldment with -0.8V were mostly detected. In case of the one pass weldment subjected to -1.1V, time to failure became shorter and AE counts were produced considerably as compared with that of the two pass weldment. It was shown that AE counts and range of AE amplitude have close relations with the number and size as well as width of the cracks which were formed during the SCC.

In this research, an experimental study is presented to check the possibilities of offshore structures monitoring using AE techniques. The underwater transducer and preamplifier are fabricated. And, it is proved that this unit can be used for the detection of AE in offshore structures. Wave propagation studies have shown that supplementary attenuations due to seawater are significantly reducing the detection range of the sensors. It excludes the possibility of offshore structures monitoring with a small number of sensors. We conclude that AE waves would be correctly detected for a path of about 3m. Tubular joints have been tested in air and underwater using simulated elastic wave. Ability of AE techniques to detect and locate cracks early in their evolution has been demonstrated. Several parameters of AE generation have been set in evidence. It has also been shown that crack development goes with an increase of AE parameter. Conclusively, it is shown that AE techniques can provide practical alternatives to present methods being used for inspection of deep-water offshore structures undergoing structural degradation due to fatigue crack growth.
