Through the use of finite element analysis and acoustic emission techniques we have evaluated the interfacial failure of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) repair patch on a notched aluminum substrate. The repair of cracks is a very common and widely used practice in the aeronautics field to extend the life of cracked sheet metal panels. The process consists of adhesively bonding a patch that encompasses the notched site to provide additional strength, thereby increasing life and avoiding costly replacements. The mechanical strength of the bonded joint relies mainly on the bonding of the adhesive to the plate and patch stiffness. Stress concentrations at crack tips promote disbonding of the composite patch from the substrate, consequently reducing the bonded area, which makes this a critical aspect of repair effectiveness. In this paper we examine patch disbonding by calculating the influence of notch tip stress on disbond area and verify computational results with acoustic emission (AE) measurements obtained from specimens subjected to uniaxial tension. The FE results showed that disbonding first occurs between the patch and the substrate close to free edge of the patch followed by failure around the tip of the notch, both highest stress regions. Experimental results revealed that cement adhesion at the aluminum interface was the limiting factor in patch performance. The patch did not appear to strengthen the aluminum substrate when measured by stress-strain due to early stage disbonding. Analysis of the AE signals provided insight to the disbond locations and progression at the metal-adhesive interface. Crack growth from the notch in the aluminum was not observed until the stress reached a critical level, an instant before final fracture, which was unaffected by the patch due to early stage disbonding. The FE model was further utilized to study the effects of patch fiber orientation and increased adhesive strength. The model revealed that the effectiveness of patch repairs is strongly dependent upon the combined interactions of adhesive bond strength and fiber orientation.

한국원자력연구소 내에서 시추된 화강암 코어시료를 대상으로 1550회의 반복하중을 가할 때 미세균열의 발달 정도를 미소파괴음(AE)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 반복하중 조건에서 미소파괴음은 반복횟수에 따라 두 가지 type의 발생 특성을 보였다. 첫 번째 type은 반복횟수가 적었을 때 나타나는 특성으로 낮은 에너지와 분산된 주파수가 특징이며, 두 번째 type은 반복횟수가 많았을 때 나타나는 특성으로 높은 에너지와 일정한 주파수가 특징적이다. Type 1은 시료내의 공극이나 미세균열이 닫히거나 성장하는 과정에서 발생하는 미소파괴음의 특성을 나타내는 반면에, type 2는 하중을 가할 때에는 미세균열이 전단되거나 닫혔다가 하중이 제거될 때에는 전단으로부터 회복하거나 미세균열이 열리면서 발생하는 미소파괴음의 특성으로 판단된다. 또한 반복횟수 50, 150, 350, 750, 1550회 때 탄성파(P파) 속도와 Felicity 비를 측정하였다. 측정결과 탄성파속도는 반복횟수가 증가하여도 변화가 없었으나 Felicity 비의 경우 반복횟수가 증가함에 따라 점점 감소하여 시료가 반복하중에 의해 손상을 받고 있음을 지시하였다. 따라서 암석의 손상정도를 판단하는데 있어서 미소파괴음 측정을 통한 Felicity 비가 탄성파속도보다 더 효과적으로 판단된다.

구조물 손상시 방출되는 고주파 음향방출(AE)신호는 실시간 손상 감지에 유리하므로 지능형 구조물의 구조건전성 모니터 링에 널리 응용되고 있다. 하지만 복합 적층 구조물에서 방출되는 AE신호의 경우에는 복합재 구조의 특성상 전달 경로에 따른 신호의 감쇄정도가 일반 금속 구조물에 비해 상대적으로 크므로 손상 전후 신호진폭의 크기만을 비교하여 손상을 예측하는 방법은 손상 판단에 오류를 야기할 수 있는 여지가 있다. 따라서 복합적층 구조에서의 정확한 충격손상 예측을 위해서는 신호감쇄의 영향을 덜 받는 신호의 분석 방법이 필요하고 손상 전후 신호특성을 정량적으로 구분할 수 여는 인자의 선택이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 경계조건에 따른 신호특성 변화의 영향을 줄이기 위해 충격손상 발생후 선행적으로 전파되는 선행파(leading wave)의 특성변화를 신호처리에 이용하였으며, 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 신호를 분해하였다. 최종적으로 복합적층판의 저속충격 시험에서 압전 센서로 취득된 충간분리 신호를 처리하였으며, 분해된 웨이블릿 고주파 세부성분 사이의 점유율 분포를 이용하여 복합적층판의 손상을 판단하기 위한 신호처리 방법을 제시하였다.

암석의 손상상태를 평가하기위한 여러 방법들이 제안되어 있으나, 일부의 방법은 명확한 손상기준을 제시하기도 하지만 일부의 방법은 매우 모호하여 분석자의 주관에 따라 값이 달라지기도 한다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 황등화강암을 대상으로 현재까지 제안된 모든 손상기준 결정방법을 적용하여, 각 방법의 적용성, 오차 및 최적의 손상기준결정 방법 등을 연구하였다. 또한 암석의 균열발달 및 파괴특성의 규명에 가장 중요한 손상기준인 균열개시응력과 균열손상응력을 FSR 및 장기 정하중 시험을 이용하여 검정하였다. 황등화강암의 균열닫힘응력과 균열개시응력은 각각 57.5 MPa, 77.6 MPa이며 균열체적변형률에서 측정하는 것이 가장 정확한 것으로 판단된다. 2차 균열개시응력은 90.6 MPa로 측정되었으며, 미소파괴음 계수 및 계수율이 균열개시응력의 측정에 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 균열결합응력 측정은 체적강성곡선, 미소파괴음 계수 및 미소파괴음 계수율이 가장 효과적인 방법으로 판단되며, 균열결합응력은 110.3 MPa이다. 균열손상응력은 체적강성곡선 및 미소파괴음 계수율에서 가장 명확히 측정되며, 약 127.5 MPa이다. 일축압축강도에 대한 비로서 나타낸 균열개시응력은 0.47로 FSR 값 0.46과 매우 유사하며, 균열손상응력은 0.77로 장기 정하중 시험을 통하여 측정된 장기 강도비 0.75~0.8과 거의 일치하여 균열개시응력 및 균열손상응력 값이 정확함을 검정하였다.

신호처리법으로 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 푸리에 변환은 신호의 주파수 성분이 시간에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지를 표현하지 못한다. 따라서 최근 이와 같은 푸리에 변환의 단점을 보완하여, 신호의 시간과 주파수에 대한 정보를 동시에 표현할 수 있는 시간-주파수 해석법들이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출을 이용하여 복합재료의 주요 발생원으로 알려져 있는 기지균열, 섬유분리, 섬유파괴 덴 층간분리 등과 같은 파괴기구를 해석하였다. 각각의 파괴특성이 나타나도록 시험편을 제작하여 인장시험 시 검출된 음향방출신호의 시간-주파수 해석을 통해 전체 파괴기구의 특징을 분석하였다.

Recently carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) has been used structural materials in corrosive environment such as for water, chemical tank and chemical pipes. However, mechanical properties of such materials may change when CFRP are exposed to corrosive environment for long periods of time. Therefore, it is important to understand the effect of moisture absorption on mechanical properties of the CFRP. In this study, degradation behavior of immersed carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite material was investigated using acoustic emission(AE) technique. Fracture toughness test are performed on the compact tension(CT) test specimens that are pilled by two types of laminates $[0^{\circ}_2$/$90^{\circ}_2]_3s$ and $[0^{\circ}_2$/$90^{\circ}_2]_6s$During the fracture toughness test, AE test was carried out to monitor the damage of CFRP by moisture absorption. In spite of the change of moisture absorption rate, the fracture toughness of CFRP was not change. As immersion time increased, AE event count numbers decreased in low amplitude range of AE for amplitude distribution histogram. The event in low amplitude range was known to be generated by debonding of matrix-fiber interface. Therefore, decrease of AE event count numbers in low amplitude range represents that debonding of matrix-fiber interface which was probably generated by moisture absorption.

The railway system requires safety and reliability of service of all railway vehicles. Suitable technical systems and working methods adapted to it, which meet the requirements on safety and good order of traffic, should be maintained. For detection of defects, non-destructive testing methods-which should be quick, reliable and cost-effective - are most often used. Since failure in railway wheelset can cause a disaster, regular inspection of defects in wheels and axles are mandatory. Ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission and eddy current testing method and so on regularly check railway wheelset in service. However, it is difficult to detect a crack initiation clearly with ultrasonic testing due to noise echoes. It is necessary to develop a non-destructive technique that is superior to conventional NDT techniques in order to ensure the safety of railway wheelset. In the present paper, the new NDT technique is applied to the detection of surface defects for railway wheelset. To detect the defects for railway wheelset, the sensor for defect detection is optimized and the tests are carried out with respect to surface and internal defects each other. The results show that the surface crack depth of 1.5 mm in press fitted axle and internal crack in wheel could be detected by using the new method. The ICFPD method is useful to detect the defect that initiated in railway wheelset.

In this paper, three different types of commercially tools-P20, NC123K and ceramic-have been used to working austempered ductile iron(ADI). In the austempered condition the materials are hard, strong and difficult to machine. Thus, we selected a optimum tool material among three different types of used tools in machining of austempered ductile iron. It was used acoustic emission(AE) to know cutting characteristic for selected tool and flank wear land of the ceramic too. The obtained results are as follows; (1) The ceramic tool among three different types of tools is the best in machining austempered ductile iron. (2) In case of ceramic tool, the amplitude level of AE signal(AErms) is mainly affected bycutting speed in cutting speed in cutting condition and it is proportioned to cutting speed. (3) There have the relationship of direct proportion between the amplitude level of AE signal and flank wear land of the tool. (4) If it find the value of AErms at each cutting speed, the in-process detection to ceramic tool's wear is possible

Woven fabrics composites are used as primary structural components in many applications because of their superior properties that offer high specific strength and stiffness. However, the complexity of the fabric structure makes understanding of their failure behavior very difficult. Also, laminate woven fabrics CFRP have unique failure mechanisms such as fiber bridging, fiber/matrix crack and so on. In particular, the delamination phenomenon of the composite materials is one of the most frequent failure mechanisms. So, we estimated interlaminar fracture and damage in composites using as ENF specimen by a 3 point bending test. And AE characteristics were examined for crack propagation on plain woven CFRP. We obtained the following conclusions from the results of the evaluation of the 3 point bending fracture test and AE characteristic estimation. AE counts of maximum crack length were obtained as $85.97{\times}10^4\;and\;93{\times}10^3\;for\;a_0/L=0.3$ and 0.6, respectively. Also the maximum amplitudes were over 80dB at both $a_0/L=0.3\;and\;0.6$. $G_{IIc}$ at that's $a_0/L$ ratio were obtained with $1.07kJ/m^2\;and\;3.79kJ/m^2$.

The wheelsets are one of most important component: damages in wheel tread and press fitted axle are a significant cost for railway industry. Since failure in railway wheelset can cause a disaster, regular inspection of defects in wheels and axles are mandatory. Ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission and eddy current testing method and so on regularly check railway wheelset in service. However, it is difficult to use this method because of its high viscosity and because its sensitivity is affected by temperature. Also, due to noise echoes it is difficult to detect defects initiation clearly with ultrasonic testing. It is necessary to develop a non-destructive technique that is superior to conventional NDT techniques in order to ensure the safety of railway wheelset. In the present paper, the new NDT technique is applied to the detection of surface defects for railway wheelset. To detect the defects for railway wheelset, the sensor for defect detection is optimized and the tests are carried out with respect to surface and internal defects each other. The results show that the surface crack depth of 1.5 mm in press fitted axle and internal crack in wheel could be detected by using the new method. The ICFPD method is useful to detect the defect that initiated in the tread of railway wheelset.
