하모니 영상은 초음파의 비선형 전파 과정에서 발생된 하모닉 성분을 영상화 한다. 하모닉 영상은 초음파에 비선형적으로 반응하는 초음파 조영제를 사용하여 하모닉 성분의 발생을 최대화 하고 있다. 일반적으로 현재 임상적으로 사용되는 하모닉 영상은 2차 고주파 성분을 사용한 것을 의미한다. 2차 하모닉 영상은 주파수의 상승으로 공간 분해능이 향상된다. 초음파 조영제를 이용하는 경우 서브 하모닉, 울트라 하모닉의 발생도 유의할 것으로 기대되지만 이에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 서브 하모닉은 상대적으로 2차 하모닉보다 전파 과정에서 감쇠 효과가 작기 때문에 심부의 영상에 유리하다 서브 하모닉 및 울트라 하모닉 성분 검출은 초음파 변환기의 대역폭에 대한 제한을 2차 하모닉에 비해 상대적으로 덜 받는다. 본 연구에서는 진단용 초음파에 의해 초음파 조영제에서 방사하는 하모닉 성분의 크기를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 수치해석은 Gilmore Equation을 이용하였으며, 초음파 조영제의 탄성 효과는 무시하였다. 초음파 조영제의 크기와 초음파의 MI에 따라 하모닉 성분의 크기를 정량적으로 비교하고, 서브 및 울트라 하모닉 영상의 구현에 대해 토의하였다.

Immersion ultrasonic testing (UT) was used to determine elastic moduli of solid materials instead of the widely-used contact UT method. Conventionally, immersion UT is only used for determining the longitudinal wave speed. However, in this research, transverse wave speed was measured through finding transverse wave echoes caused by mode-conversion at material's boundary. Also, even in the cases when wave speeds could not be determined due to unknown thickness, Poisson's ratio was able to be calculated from the ratio of longitudinal and transverse wave speeds. This technique was verified for several materials, and it was found that higher accuracy was obtained by immersion UT method for materials either with relatively high wave speed or with relatively small Poisson's ratio. This technique thus will be suitable fur ceramics or high strength materials.

Nondestructive test (NDT) provides much information on concrete without damage of structural functions. Of NDT methods, elastic wave propagation methods, such as ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) method and impact-echo (IE) method, have been successfully used to estimate the strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of concrete as well as to detect the internal microstructural change and defects. In this study, the concretes with water-binder ratio ranging from 0.27 to 0.50 and fly ash content of 20% were made and then their longitudinal wave velocities were measured by UPV and IE method, respectively. Test results showed that the UPV is greater than the longitudinal wave velocity measured by the If method, i.e., rod-wave velocity obtained from the same concrete cylinder. It was found that the difference between the two types of velocities decreased with increasing the ages of concrete and strength level. Moreover, for the empirical formula, the dynamic Poisson's ratio, static and dynamic moduli of elasticity, and velocity-strength relationship were determined. It was observed that the Poisson's ratio and the modulus of elasticity determined by the dynamic method are greater than those determined by the static test. Consequently, for the more accurate estimation of concrete properties using the elastic wave velocities, the characteristics of these velocities should be understood.

최근, 레이저 초음파 영상화 기법은 구조물의 비접촉식 손상 진단을 위해 널리 연구되고 있다. 초음파 영상화 기법의 가장 큰 장점은 비접촉식으로 구조물의 손상을 진단할 수 있고, 가진 및 측정 지점을 자유로이 이동할 수 있다는 점이다. 따라서 이는 고온이나 동적상태의 구조물에 적용이 가능하며, 시간과 공간상의 충분한 데이터를 획득할 수 있으므로 역문제 (Inverse problem)를 해결할 필요 없이 완전한 초음파의 전파 형상을 얻을 수 있다. 지난 연구들에서는 충분한 가진력 혹은 측정 민감도를 확보하기 위해 가진 레이저와 부착형 센서의 조합이나 부착형 가진 트렌스듀서와 센싱 레이저의 조합으로 초음파 영상을 획득하고자 하였다. 하지만 이들 조합은 가진 혹은 측정 지점이 구조물에 부착되어 있어 완전한 비접촉식 기법을 구현하지 못하였다. 이를 극복하고자 레이저와 EMAT 센서 등의 조합이 시도되어 왔으나, 이 또한 EMAT 센서의 적용 거리에 따른 한계점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가진 레이저 (Nd:Yag)의 스캐닝을 통해 다양한 가진 점에서 발생된 초음파가 탄성체 구조물을 통해 전파되고, 이를 센싱 레이저 (Laser Doppler Vibrometer)를 이용하여 측정함으로써 비접촉식 초음파 영상화를 구현하였다. 나아가, 정상파 필터(Standing-wave filter)를 이용하여 구현된 초음파 영상으로부터 손상 영향만 검출해 내는 기법을 개발했다. 개발된 기법은 복합재 시편의 층간박리 (Delamination) 진단을 통해 검증하였다.

제작되어진 LFB PVDF 초음파트랜스듀서를 이용하여 누설탄성표면파(Leaky Surface Acoustic Wave : LSAW)측정을 하였다. 시료로서는 $SiO_2$, Al, Cu등을 사용하였고, 측정방법으로써는 초점면에 위치한 시료를 트랜스듀서 쪽으로 접근시켰을 때 LSAW가 트랜스듀서의 중심축을 통과한 후 시료표면에서 반사되어오는 종파와 분리되어지는 현상을 이용하였다. 실험결과는 Campbell and Jones의 이론에 의한 해석결과와 비교 분석하였는데 매우 잘 일치됨을 알 수 있었다.

The paper deals with the energy transmission ratio of the elastic waves obliquely transmitting through a plate and a pipe. The incidence angle corresponding to the maximum transmission was determined theoretically and considered in the design of ultrasonic transducers for flow velocimetry. Experimentally-obtained transmission ratios were compared with and confirmed the theoretically-calculated results.

The paper deals with the energy transmission of the elastic waves obliquely transmitting and refracting through a plate and a pipe. By calculating the transmitting ratio depending on the incidence angle, the angle corresponding to the maximum transmission was determined theoretically and considered in the design of ultrasonic transducers for flow velocimetry. Experiments were carried out by using prototypes of the transducers. Experimentally-obtained transmission ratios were compared with and confirmed the theoretically-calculated results.

This paper presents the investigation of the propagation behavior of bulk longitudinal waves generated by an ultrafast laser system in thin films. A train of femtosecond laser pulses was focused onto the surface of a 150-nm thick metallic (chromium or aluminum) film on a silicon substrate to excite elastic waves, and the change in thermoreflectance at the spot was monitored to detect the arrival of echoes from the film/substrate interface. The experimental results show that the film material characteristics such as the wave velocity and Young's modulus can be evaluated through curve-fitting in numerical solutions. The material properties of nanoscale thin films are difficult to measure using conventional techniques. Therefore, this research provides an effective method for the nondestructive characterization of nanomaterials.

Determination of dynamic shear modulus of soil was made by measuring directly the velocity of ultrasonic shear waves transmitted through the specimen. The PUNDIT, a generator and detector of ultrasonic waves, has been used to measure the propagation velocity. Forty -six tests of compacted soil at seven different void ratios and seven varying degrees of saturation with four types of materials were made in this study. The primary importance in this study was the investigation of the relations among the para meters which influenced G-modulus, As a results of analysis, the dynamic shear modulus of soil tends to decrease with an increase of void ratio, and also it is affected by soil types. In case of using PUNDIT, the proper range of the specimen length is from 5cm to 8cm. And the degree of saturation doesn't affect the dyn- amic shear modulus of soil.
