Conventional ultrasonic examination to detect micro and small surface cracks is based on the pulse-echo technique using a normal immersion focused transducer with high frequency, or an angle-beam transducer generating surface waves. It is difficult to make an automatic ultrasonic system that can detect micro and small surface cracks and position in a large structure like steel and ceramic rolls, because of the huge data of inspection and the ambiguous position data of the transducer. In this study, a high-precision scanning acoustic microscope with a 10MHz large-aperture transducer has been used to assess the existence, position and depth of a surface crack from the real-time A, B, C scans obtained by exploiting the ultrasonic diffraction. The ultrasonic method with large aperture transducer has improved the accuracy of the crack depth assessment and also the scanning speed by ten times, compared with the conventional ultrasonic methods.

Ultrasonography and photodynamic therapy have been proposed as useful tools as a treatment for inducing necrosis of cells using reactive oxygen species. Apoptosis is an internal mechanism necessary for cells regardless of damage. Ultrasound has the effect of inducing the apoptosis of these cells, and the frequency of 1 MHz is the most applicable area for medical use. The laser which is generally used in photodynamic therapy has a heat reaction and the treatment is limited. However, as a small light emitting diode is developed, it shows possibility to minimize the equipment and reduce heat reaction. On the other hand, there are relatively few researches on direct effects of light compared with studies using photosensitizers, and the area is also limited. Therefore, in this paper, we have developed a cancer cell proliferation control module using ultrasonic and light emitting diodes, which have relatively few side effects, and quantitatively analyze the effect of the module to propose an optimal suppression technique.

The guided wave has been widely employed to characterize thin plates and layered media. The dispersion curves of phase and group velocities are essential for the quantitative application of guided waves. In the present work, a fully automated system for the measurement of backward radiation of LLW has been developed. The specimen moves in two dimensional plane as well as in angular rotation. The signals of backward radiation of LLW were measured from an elastic plate in which specific modes of Lamb wave were strongly generated. Phase velocity of the corresponding modes was determined from the incident angle. The generated Lamb waves propagated forward and backward with the leakage of energy into water. Backward radiated LLW was detected by the same transducer and its frequency components were analyzed to extract the related information to the dispersion curves. The dispersion curves of phase velocity were measured by varying the incident angle. Moving the specimen in the linear direction of LLW propagation, group velocity was determined by measuring the transit time shift in the ultrasonic waveform.

In this paper, we have studied the images which have been reconstructed by using combination of images acquired by the variation of operating frequency. When inner images have been reconstructed, they have been superposed by the surface state effect. In this case, the images of the phase object can be enhanced by the contrast of inner images. In this experiment, there are two kinds of specimens, one is a reference block haying 1/4T, 1/2T, 3/4T side drilled holes as main run piping material 111 the steam generator in NPP(Neuclear Power Plant)s and the another is a part of a hemisphere type specimen having about 1-2㎜ distance gap. It has been shown that the two results of defect shapes have better than before in this processing and phase contrast grow about twice. And we have constructed the acoustic microscope by using a quadrature detector that enables to acquire the amplitude and phase of the reflected signal simultaneously Further more ore have studied the reconstruction method of the amplitude and phase images and the enhancement method of the defect images contrast.

In this study, the sonication method was applied to remove ink from old newspaper(ONP) using flotation. Results indicated increased whiteness and effective residual ink concentration (ERIC) with longer disintegration. Therefore 58% of whiteness and 182.9 ppm ERIC were obtained for 30 minutes of disintegration time without the change in yield. Longer disintegration than 30 minutes had no effects on whiteness without the application of ultra-sonication. On the other hand, higher than 58% of whiteness was achieved in 2 minutes of disintegration when the ultra-sonication was applied. The highest whiteness (59.32 %) was obtained by applying sonication for 20 minutes and froth flotation with kerosene as a collector under the alkaline condition (pH 11).

과거에는 정전기에 의한 분진 폭발이 사이로 등을 이용해 대량의 분진을 취급하는 기업에서만 발생하는 것으로 인식되어졌다. 그러나, 근래에 와서 정전기에 의한 분진 폭발은 그 취급하는 양에 관계없이 기업의 보편적인 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 분진 폭발을 방지하기 위한 계획에는 취급 분진의 최소 착화 에너지(Minimum Ignition Energy: 이하 MIE라고 함)측정이 필수적으로 요구되어진다［1］.(중략)

홍수파, 댐 및 보 등 하천구조물, 지류와 합류로 발생하는 배수영향 등으로 인해 고리형 수위-유량관계가 나타나 수위-유량관계식의 신뢰도가 저하된다고 판단되는 대하천 본류와 합류부 인근지류에서 초음파를 지표로 활용하는 자동유량장치가 현재 58개소에 도입되어 운용되고 있다. 그러나, 최근 다기능보 설치 등 하천의 수리적 특성이 변동하였고, 지류에서 주로 운용되는 수위-유량관계 기반 유량측정소에 본류-지류 합류로 인한 배수영향으로 고리형 관계가 형성될 경우, 지류수위관측소를 자동유량관측소로 대체할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 또한, 기존 자동유량관측소의 경우도 홍수량이 기준이하로 나타날 경우 수위-유량 관계식으로 대체하는 경우도 발생하는데 적용기준이 명확하지 않은 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 신규 자동유량장치 설치, 기존 수위관측소 대체, 그리고 자동유량관측소에서 수위-유량 관계 활용 기준 설정 등을 판단하기 위해 고리형 수위-유량 관계의 패턴을 분석하여 지류의 수위관측소 존속여부 등을 결정할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 다기능보 설치 및 지류-본류 합류로 인한 지류로의 배수영향과 홍수파에 의한 고리형 수위-유량관계의 양상을 다양한 수문사상에 대해 분석하였다. 시범구역으로 하류에 창녕함안보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 남강을 대상하천으로 하였고 자동유량장치가 설치된 낙동강의 적포교, 남강의 정암관측소의 관측자료를 활용하여 HEC-RAS 부정류 모형을 구축하였다. 구축 후 다양한 본류와 지류의 유량을 가정하여 고리형 수위-유량 발생 패턴을 분석하였다. 지류-본류 합류 영향의 경우, 낙동강의 영향을 유무를 고려하여 상승된 수위의 비율로부터 일정 유의수준을 두어 배수영향 구간을 산정하였다. 다기능보 영향은 다기능보 설치 전후를 가정하여 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 남강의 경우 지류 유량이 작은 경우에도 본류 유량이 상대적으로 큰 경우 배수영향에 의한 고리형이 나타났다. 그리고, 다기능보에의한 배수영향은 매우 작은 것으로 나타났고, 지류의 유량이 큰 경우 홍수파에 의한 고리형도 발생함을 알 수 있었으나, 지류-본류 합류로 인한 고리형 발생이 지배적이었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 95%의 유의수준을 기반으로 고리형 발생 여부를 확인할 수 있는 모노그래프를 작성하여 수위-유량관계 기반 유량 산정의 적절성을 판단하는 기준으로 제안하였다.

The sludge oils were produced necessarily in the ships operation, so that it will be the best way to manage the sludge oils inside ship itself from a viewpoint of the prevention of marine oil pollution from ship. The ultrasonic breaking systems which recycle the sludge oil from ship into usable oil to be brunt is recognized as a most possible recycling device. In this regards, the purpose of this study is to examine erosion damage on the SS400 specimen by cavitation and the effect of impact pressure generated from the demolition of the cavity of ultrasonic vibration in the marine sludge oil environment .. The erosion damage of specimen was investigated mainly on weight loss, weight loss rate and maximum erosion rate with variation of the oil temperature as well as the change of space between transducer horn and specimen. The experimental results showed that as the space between ultrasonic vibrator horn and specimen disk increased, the weight loss and weight loss rate decreased and the values were larger in SFO than in SLO. The experimental results can be useful to the development of sludge oil disposing systems and to consider a countermeasure for the prevention of erosion damages by cavitation.

Transport systems which are the important part of the factory automation have much influence on improving productivity. Object transport systems are driven typically by the magnetic field and conveyer belt. In recent years, as the transmission and processing of information is required more quickly, demands of optical elements and semiconductors increase. However, conventional transport systems are not adequate for transportation of those. The reason is that conveyor belts can damage precision optical elements by the contact force and magnetic systems can destroy the inner structure of semiconductor by the magnetic field. In this paper, the levitation transport system using ultrasonic wave is developed for transporting precision elements without damages. Vibration modes of each flexural beam are verified by using Laser Scanning Vibrometer.
