The research described in this paper was aimed toward improving the understanding of the interaction of tire inflation pressure and the soil-tire interface stresses. A three-directional stress transducer was developed to measure stress distribution on undertread for a tractor tire. The transducer can directly measure three-directional stresses (normal stress, tangental stress and lateral stress and lateral stress) simultaneously and has both strong structure and high sensitivity, which is not changed by the abrasion of the detecting plate. Measurements of soil-undertread interface stresses were made at tire center on undertread on a 12.4-R24 radial tractor tire opeated at three combinations of a dynamic load (11.8kN) and three inflation pressures (59kPa, 108kPa and 157kPa). These measurements showed that as inflation pressure increased, the soil-undertread interface stresses increased. The results of three stresses comparisons were shown that the peak normal stresses were considerably higher than the tangential peak stresses and the peak lateral stresses.

This paper presents an analytical approach to describe the variation in the vibration characteristics such as the natural frequency of a piezoelectric transducer under static pre-pressure. The transducer considered in this paper is a bolt-clamped Langevin-type transducer, which consists of a couple of piezoelectric discs, a couple of metal blocks for added mass effect, and a bolt to tighten them. A new analysis model for the transducer has been developed by taking into account the contact area between the piezoelectric ceramic disc and the metal block. The variation of the resonance frequency due to the pre-pressure has been calculated and compared with measured results reported earlier.

A simple and low cost stylus profiler made of ferrite cores is developed. The devised profiler consists of a contact probe, a measuring transducer, a signal processing unit, and a motorized stage. The contact probe attached to 4-bar spring maintains sufficient stiffness to protect disturbances. An overlap-area type inductive position sensing system is selected as a measuring transducer, which has high sensitivity, repeatability and linearity. The transducer is composed of coil bundles and ferrite cores which have good electromagnetic characteristics in spite of low cost. The repeatability of the profiler with the proposed inductive sensing system is better than 50nm. Experimental results are shown that the proposed profiler can measure the line or 3D profile of an object with sub-micron features.

Joint structure of a transducer horn-holder assembly fur a wire bonder was examined through FEM contact analysis. A three dimensional modeling and analysis was carried out to survey the internal physics of this structure and to prove the accuracy of a computation compared to a measurement. After validation, a simple two dimensional model was built fur various parametric study considering the efficiency and speed of the computation. Several factors such as boundary conditions, a modeling boundary, mesh density and so on, were considered to obtain consistency with three dimensional analysis. An arc angle and a position of each holder boss were chosen as design parameters. A design of experiment was applied to find out an optimized design of the holder geometry. As a result, a guideline for holder boss design was suggested and main factors and their influence on stress concentration in the transducer horn were surveyed.

The fabrication process of fiber placement system of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) requires real time process control and reliable inspection to ensure quality by preventing defects such as delamination and void. Therefore, novel non-contact inspection technique is required during the non-destructive evaluation in a fiber placement system. For the inspection of delamination in CFRP, various methods to receive laser-generated ultrasound were applied by using piezoelectric transducer, air-coupled transducer, wavelet transform and scanning laser ultrasonic technique. Laser-generated ultrasound was received with a conventional piezoelectric sensor in contacting manner. Then signal characteristics due to defects were analyzed to find a factor for detecting defects. Air-coupled transducer was used for reception of laser-generated guided wave using linear slit array in order to generate high frequency guided wave. And line scan technique was used to confirm the capability of on-line application. The high frequency component of laser-generated guided wave received with piezoelectric sensor disappeared after propagating through delamination region. Nevertheless, it was failed to receive high frequency guided wave in using air-coupled transducer. The first peak of the frequency spectrum under 100kHz in the delamination region is higher than in the sound region. By using this feature, the line scanned frequency data were acquired in fully non-contact generation and reception of ultrasound. This method was proved as useful technique for detecting delamination in CFRP.

접착제와 리벳으로 접합된 항공기 판재의 접합부는 접합 불량, 크랙, 피로 결함이나 부식등에 의해 손상되고 열화될 수 있으며 이런 결함을 전 영역에 걸쳐서 신속하고도 신뢰성 있게 검사하는 것은 항공기 안전을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 항공기용 알루미늄 판재의 랩 스플라이스 접합 연결부의 접합 품질을 비접촉 방식으로 수행할 수 있는 초음파 비파괴 평가법을 제안한다. 여기서는 레이저를 이용해 램파를 발생시키고 비접촉식 트랜스듀서 (공기정합 용량형 트랜스듀서)를 이용해 피치-캐치 방식으로 검사한다. 레이저 소스로는 Q-스위치된 Nd:YAG 레이저가 이용되며 배열 형태의 직선 슬릿을 갖는 마스크를 이용해 특정 모드의 램파를 발생시켜 이용하였다. 접합부의 한 쪽에서 발생된 레이저 여기 초음파는 판을 따라 전파하여 접합부를 지나 반대편에서 수신되고 수신된 신호의 특성과 접합부의 품질과의 관련성을 조사하였다.

이 연구에서는 석조문화재의 초음파 측정에 적합한 탐촉자 및 접촉매질을 선정하였으며, 과학적이며 정량적인 평가기술을 개발하기 위해 암종별 직접 및 간접전달방법의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 이 결과, 석조문화재에서 초음파 측정은 유형 3의 탐촉자(UTREXTX(RX)54kHz)와 접촉매질(고무찰흙)을 사용하는 것이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 유형 3의 직접 및 간접전달방법의 보정계수는 화강암 1.50, 반려암 1.38, 석영섬록암 1.58로 산출되었다. 이 결과는 초음파탐사의 신뢰도를 높이기 위한 최초의 연구로서 석조문화재의 초음파탐사 방법을 확립하는데 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 암석의 표면요철도와 다양한 접촉매질을 고려한 보완연구가 수행되어야 할 것이며, 암종별 직접-간접전달방법의 상관관계에 대한 데이터베이스도 구축되어야 할 것이다.

Flow-induced vibration in heat exchanger (or fuel rod) in nuclar power plant can cause dynamic interactions between tubes and tube supports resulting in fretting-wear. To increase the reliability and design life of heat exchanger components, design criteria that establish acceptable limits of vibration and minimize fretting wear are necessary. The fretting-wear rate is dependent upon material combination, contact configuration, environmental conditions and tube-to tube support dynamic interaction. It is demostrated that the fretting -wear rate correlates well with tube-to-support contact force or work rate. The tube-to-support dynamic interaction, which consists of dynamic contact forces and tube motion, is used to relate single-span wear data to real heat exchanger configurations consisting of multi-span tube bundles. This paper describes the test facility to measure tube-to-support dynamic impact force and reports its dynamic characteristics through the four impact tests - a force transduces independent and external impact tests, central ring inside impact test and additional cylinder impact test. Through the tests the impact parameter change dependent upon the material difference of impacting ball is studied, and the impact parameters of Force Transducer Assembly components are measured. And also the dynamic behavior of Force Transducer Assembly is analyzed. The force measurement technique herein is shown to provide a reasonable measure of dynamic contact forces.

This paper describes an idea of design and construction for a radial pulse wave detector, In acquiring arterial pulse signal noninvasively, a new combinational fiber-optic transducer was used which has a detecting part and a sensing part. The mechanism of detecting part is composed of special form of structure that can detect changing pulses in contact with skin, and transmits arterial wall movements to the sensing part. It consists of elastic reflector and optical fibers, which are arranged in a fiber pair. Then, the intensity of the reflected light will be proportional to the displacement changed by inclined reflector. Using this transducer, it expected to make a clinically useful tool for arterial pulse wave diagnosis, especially on the application of "MACK- CHIN" in the field of Korean traditional medicine, since : his transducer has a simple structure and has an easy and clear signal acquisition method.on method.
