In This paper, through simulation, proposes a system which makes it possible for freely moving multiple agents with ultrasonic receivers to estimate their own position by themselves using the ultrasonic signals sequentially emitted from multiple ultrasonic transmitters. This system possesses an advantage that there is no limit in the number of agents existing in the space covered by more than three transmitters fixed at proper locations. Hence, the proposed system can be utilized effectively in position tracking control of multiple robotic agents system and motion capturing system.

The object of this study is to develop new examination techniques for detecting the debonds in adhesive interface of different kinds of the material. Ultrasonic signal was modeled by theoretically analyzing ultrasonic propagation phenomenon of the adhesive interface and debonding interface. The test method using the phase reversal of the debonding interface applied to the FRP/Rubber test block. Aluminum/Rubber test block with the flat bottom hole was manufactured to quantitatively evaluate the minimum detection ability of the defects. The pulse echo reflection method and the phase reversal method were mutually compared and it was estimated that the phase reversal method could detect the debonds on the basis of the theoretically predicted ultrasonic signal and ultrasonic test data.

초음파 영상 기법은 장기, 연조직, 혈류를 검사하는데 쓰이는 영상 진단법이다. 초음파 장비를 통해 얻어진 초음파 볼륨 데이터는 장비 특성상 많은 잡음(speckle noise)을 포함하기 때문에, 깨끗한 영상을 얻기 위해서는 잡음 필터링(noise filtering)이 필요하다. 그런데, 볼륨 데이터 모든 영역에 대해 잡음 필터링을 적용할 경우 전처리 시간이 길어져 실시간으로 초음파 볼륨 데이터를 렌더링하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 입력되는 초음파 볼륨 데이터를 가시화 하기위하여 전처리 시간 없이 잡음을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 전처리 시간에 전체 볼륨 데이터에 대해 잡음 필터링을 적용하지 않고, 영상을 생성하는 동안 참조되는 복셀(voxel)에 대해서만 잡음 필터를 적용하여 얻은 값을 사용한다. 이때 필터링에 소요되는 시간을 최소화하기 위해 가장 단순한 평균화 필터를 사용한다. 그리고 복셀에 적용되는 3차원 필터를 3단계의 1차원 필터 연산 단계로 분할 한 후, 각 단계별 연산을 거친 복셀들에 대해서는 다시 연산을 하지 않도록 하여 중복을 피한다. 이를 통해 전처리 시간 없이 기존 방법과 동일한 화질을 유지하는 최종 영상을 만들어 낸다.

The rubber side could be contaminated using the existing pulse echo method because the ultrasonic wave was incident on the rubber side from the interior of the steel motor case, which could lead to the critical disbond defect. To develop the test method which can be replaced the existing method, the ultrasonic wave was incident on steel face of the steel/rubber adhesive test block. Rubber resonance frequencies measured from the steel/rubber adhesive test block were in good agreement with theoretically predicted rubber resonance frequencies. This paper was described about the ultrasonic resonance method to convert the rubber resonance frequency into the rubber thickness.

Various modeling techniques for ultrasonic wave propagation and scattering problems in finite solid media are presented. Elastodynamic boundary value problems in inhomogeneous multi-layered plate-like structures are set up for modal analysis of guided wave propagation and numerically solved to obtain dispersion curves which show propagation characteristics of guided waves. As a powerful modeling tool to overcome such numerical difficulties in wave scattering problems as the geometrical complexity and mode conversion, the Boundary Element Method(BEM) is introduced and is combined with the normal mode expansion technique to develop the hybrid BEM, an efficient technique for modeling multi mode conversion of guided wave scattering problems. Time dependent wave forms are obtained through the inverse Fourier transformation of the numerical solutions in the frequency domain. 3D BEM program development is underway to model more practical ultrasonic wave signals. Some encouraging numerical results have recently been obtained in comparison with the analytical solutions for wave propagation in a bar subjected to time harmonic longitudinal excitation. It is expected that the presented modeling techniques for elastic wave propagation and scattering can be applied to establish quantitative nondestructive evaluation techniques in various ways.

본 논문에서는 초음파 센서를 이용하여 3차원 마우스 시스템을 설계하였다. 마우스에 부착시킨 초음파 발신부와 모니터에 부착시킨 초음파 수신부를 이용하여 마우스와 모니터에 부착된 수신부사이의 거리를 측정한다. 측정한 거리는 무선네트워크를 이용하여 Host PC에 전송하고, Host PC는 측정거리와 위치 추정 알고리즘을 이용하여 마우스의 위치를 추정한다. 최소자승법을 이용하여 위치 추정 알고리즘의 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 모의실험 결과로부터 최소자승법을 3차원 마우스 시스템의 위치추정 알고리즘으로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We developed a new standing wave type ultrasonic linear motor that can be driven bi-directionally. The operation principle of the motor was derived in an analytical form and the detailed structure was designed by the finite element method. Based on the design, a motor sample and a driving circuit were fabricated, and validity of the structure was verified through experiments.

It's required mechanical properties of in-service facilities to maintain safety operation in power plants as well as chemical plants. In this study the four classes of the thermally aged 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method at $630^{\circ}C$. Ultrasonic tests, tensile tests, $K_{IC}$ tests and hardness tests were performed in order to evaluate the degree of degradation of the material. The mechanical properties were decreased as degraded, but the attenuation coefficient and the harmonic generation level of a ultrasonic signal were increased. Expecially the nonlinear parameter of the signal is sensitive and will be a good parameter to evaluate the material degradation.

Concrete has been recognized as a material which is resistant to high temperatures, but chemicophysical property of concrete is changed by the high temperature. So, mechanical properties of concrete may be reduced. So, concrete at high temperature is evaluated mechanical properties for safety inspection. However, research of ultrasonic method is not much. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to NDT(non-destructive test) of 30, 70, 110MPa concrete exposed high temperature using ultrasonic pulse velocity and amplitude.
