  • Most nondestructive testing techniques require good contact between the sensor and tested concrete surface to obtain reliable data. But the surface preparation is often very time and labor consuming due to the rough surface or limited access of concrete structures. One approach to speed up the data collection process is to eliminate the need for physical contact between the sensor and tested structure. Non-contact air-coupled sensing technique can be a good solution to this problem. An obvious advantage of the non-contact air-coupled sensing technique is which can greatly speed up the data collection in field and thus the damage detection process can be completed very rapidly. In this article, recent developments in non-contact air-coupled sensing technique for rapid detection of damages in concrete structures are summarized to evoke interest, discussion and further developments on this technique to a NDT research community in Korea. It is worth noting that the works in this article have been published in the types of thesis, proceedings, and journals. All published sources are cited in the text and listed in reference.

  • General chip SMD parts(chip resistance, chip capacitor, chip varistor etc.) are very wide sed electronics parts for IT units. But, failure modes are indistinct for these chip parts. In factory and field the failure modes are recognized to accidental failure mope caused by potential defect. In this paper used chip varistor ALT(Accelerate Life Test) test for verify general failure modes in chip SMD parts. Also the results are useful for general chip SMD ALT tests.

  • Tiger Gate Bridge, a steel suspension bridge with a main span of 888 m and a stiffening box girder, is located at the Pearl River Estuary, Guangdong Province, one of the typhoon-prone area in China. Focusing on the developing of the full aeroelastic model of the bridge and simulation of the wind field of the bridge site in a large boundary wind tunnel at Tongji University, Shanghai, China, some main results about the wind resistant properties of the bridge including aerodynamic instability, buffeting responses both being in operation and erection stages by using of a full aeroelastic model wind tunnel testing are introduced. Some of analytical approaches to those aerodynamic behaviours are also presented, and compared with experimental data of the testing.

  • In this paper, we propose a test method to evaluate the reliability of the recliner sofa in the early stage of production. In order to develop the test method, we analyzed the failure mechanism occurring in the field and designed the performance test, environmental test, accelerated life test methods based on the analysis of failure mechanism. The failure mechanism is reproduced by applying the designed test. The reliability of the recliner sofa can be verified at the production stage through the proposed test method.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this research is to improve the reliability of the composite material blades used for the wind power generator, by applying the phased array ultrasonic testing technique out of the many nondestructive test into the blades. Method: The wind power generation composite blades are used, as a case study, in order to evaluate the reliability of the phased array ultrasonic testing technique. Defects that are most likely occurred in the field are injected into the different locations of the three different types of artificial test pieces and then phased array ultrasonic testing technique are applied to evaluate the reliability of its effectiveness. Result: As a result of the analysis of the defect signals by applying the A scan and B scan simultaneously, depth and width of the defect could be obtained. An area of defect was proportional to the amount of energy by color in B scan image. The larger amount of energy, reflected amount of energy was appeared in the order of red, orange, yellow, blue color. Conclusion: The most reliable testing method to detect the defect in composite blades for wind power generation is considered to be the combination of the other destructive testing technique with the phased array ultrasonic testing since the PAUT alone could not detect all range of the defects in the blades.

  • 동상으로 인한 구조물의 피해를 방지하고자 세계 100여개의 국가에서는 토양의 동상민감성을 판정하는 실내실험법에 대해 연구를 진행하였다. 미국과 일본은 알래스카와 홋카이도와 같은 동토지역을 포함하고 있어 동상에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었으며, 연구 결과와 현장 적용을 통해 동상민감성 판정 표준 실험법과 기준을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 실험 방법이 복잡하고 공학적인 해설이 부족하며, 결과 분석에 대한 논리가 모호한 부분이 여전히 존재하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 미국 ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials)과 일본 JGS(Japanese Geotechnical Society)의 동상 실험법을 동상 실험에 미치는 온도조건, 시료크기, 동결방향, 배수조건 등을 고려하여 면밀히 비교 분석하고, 지금까지 연구결과를 종합하여 향후 국제적인 연구동향에 부합하는 국내 동상민감성 판정 실험법과 기준의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

  • 미소결함을 가진 금속체에 교류자기장을 인가하면 결함부근에는 와전류의 분포가 달라져 이에 의해 금속체를 관통하는 교류자기장은 결함부근에서 차이를 가진다. 이 교류자기장을 비정질 와이어로 된 센서헤드로 측정하여 센서헤드의 유기전압 크기로부터 결함 유무를 검출하는 방법에 대해 검토하였다. 비정질 와이어는 Co-based재료로 자왜가 거의 0이며 고투자율 자성체이고 비정질 와이어는 길이가 15mm, 직경이 100$\mu\textrm{m}$인 원주형 자성체이다. 실험대상 금속체로 0.5mm의 단일 직선 갭을 가진 두께 1mm의 동판과 0.1mm의 갭이 규칙적으로 배열된 두께 25$\mu\textrm{m}$의 Al 판를 이용하였다. 스파이럴 코일에 인가하는 교류자기장의 주파수는 100KHz~600KHz였다. 본 실험의 결과에서 동판에서는 유기전압의 최대치와 최소치의 차가 약 2.5㎷ 얻어졌고, Al판에서는 500KHz에서 0.4㎷가 얻어져 직선 갭의 유무를 유기전압의 크기만으로 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 대표적인 비파괴 평가 기술들 중의 하나인 초음파 응용 기술은 각종 구조물에 존재하는 내부결함에 의한 산란신호를 통해 건전성을 평가하는 기법이므로 결함의 신뢰성 높은 정량적 평가를 위해서는 결함으로부터의 초음파 산란신호특성에 대한 기본적 이해가 필수적이며 따라서 이를 위한 모델링 수치해석 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 동탄성 경계요소법을 이용하여 무한체 내부에 존재하는 기공 결함에 의한 초음파 수평횡파의 근거리 및 원거리 산란특성에 대하여 결함으로부터의 거리 영향을 고려하여 해석하였다. 이때 경계요소해석으로 구한 주파수 영역의 원거리 산란장을 실제 결함 탐상시 관찰할 수 있는 시간영역의 신호로 나타내기 위하여 IFFT처리를 하였다. IFFT처리하여 얻은 파형으로부터 원형 기공결함과의 거리가 증가할수록 진폭은 감소하고 시간지연이 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

  • Recently, due to labor shortages in rural areas within South Korea, the demand for upland-field machinery is growing. In addition, there is a lack of development of systematic performance testing of upland-field machinery. Thus, this study examined structural safety and drawbar pull based on soil properties, as a first step for systematic performance testing on the test bed. First, the properties of soil samples from 10 spots within the experimental site were examined. Second, the strain was measured and converted into stress on 8 points of an onion harvester that are likely to fail. More specifically, the chosen parts are linked to the power, along with the drawbar pull, using a 6-component load cell equipped between the tractor and the onion harvester. The water content of the soil ranged between 5.7%-7.5%, and the strength between 250-1171 kPa. The test soil was subsequently classified into loam soil based on the size distribution ratio of the sieved soil. The onion harvester can be considered as structurally safe based on the derived safety factor and the drawbar pull of 115-1194 kgf, according to the working speed based on agricultural fieldwork.

  • Modem applications could benefit from multifunctional materials having anisotropic optical, electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties, especially when coupled with locally controlled distribution of the directional response. Such materials are difficult to engineer by conventional methods, but the electric field-aided technology presented herein is able to locally tailor electroactive composites. Applying an electric field to a polymer in its liquid state allows the orientation of chain- or fiber-like inclusions or phases from what was originally an isotropic material. Such composites can be formed from liquid solutions, melts, or mixtures of pre-polymers and cross-linking agents. Upon curing, a 'created composite' results; it consists of these 'pseudofibers' embedded in a matrix. One can also create oriented composites from embedded spheres, flakes, or fiber-like shapes in a liquid plastic. Orientation of the externally applied electric field defines the orientation of the field-aided self-assembled composites. The strength and duration of exposure of the electric field control the degree of anisotropy created. Results of electromechanical testing of these modified materials, which are relevant to sensing and actuation applications, are presented. The materials' micro/nanostructures were analyzed using microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.
