A rotational pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imager that can inspect cylindrical specimens for material nondestructive evaluations is proposed herein. In this system, a laser-generated ultrasonic bulk wave is used for inspection, which enables a clear visualization of subsurface defects with a precise reproduction of the damage shape and size. The ultrasonic waves are generated by a Q-switched laser that impinges on the outer surface of the specimen walls. The generated waves travel through the walls and their echo is detected by a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) at the same point. To obtain the optimal Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the measured signal, the LDV requires the sensed surface to be at a right angle to the laser beam and at a predefined constant standoff distance from the laser head. For flat specimens, these constraints can be easily satisfied by performing a raster scan using a dual-axis linear stage. However, this arrangement cannot be used for cylindrical specimens owing to their curved nature. To inspect the cylindrical specimens, a circular scan technology is newly proposed for pulse-echo laser ultrasound. A rotational stage is coupled with a single-axis linear stage to inspect the desired area of the specimen. This system arrangement ensures that the standoff distance and beam incidence angle are maintained while the cylindrical specimen is being inspected. This enables the inspection of a curved specimen while maintaining the optimal SNR. The measurement result is displayed in parallel with the on-going inspection. The inspection data used in scanning are mapped from rotational coordinates to linear coordinates for visualization and post-processing of results. A graphical user interface software is implemented in C++ using a QT framework and controls all the individual blocks of the system and implements the necessary image processing, scan calculations, data acquisition, signal processing and result visualization.

Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) is a powerful tool to measure the vibration mode shape and resonance frequency for modal analysis. As for ESPI this method is very suited for full-field measurement of objects in industrial areas because the interferograms are recorded with a video camera and evaluated in real-time with a computer. In this study We performed experiments at the same constraint conditions as disk brake of the practical vehicle as far as possible and obtained the resonance frequencies and vibration mode shapes by using time-averaged ESPI at once. Finally to assure the expetimental results by time-averaged ESPI we also compare those with results obtained by Laser Doppler Vibrometer and obtained good agreement.

The bar horn is designed to increase uniformity of the displacement on the output face through simulation and experiments. Three-dimensional modal analysis is conducted using the finite element method to calculate the vibration mode and displacement on the output face, and the design of experiment (DOE) technique is employed to determine the optimum dimensions of the groove and slot so that the high amplitude uniformity of the bar horn is produced. Displacement of the bar horn was measured using the Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV), and the experimental results show good agreements with the predicted results. High uniformity of the bar horn is achieved with the dimensions of the groove and slot determined using the design equations.

The cylinder horn is designed to increase uniformity of the displacement on the output face through simulation and experiments for the simple cylinder, spool and step horns. The modal analysis is conducted numerically to calculate the vibration mode and stress distribution of the cylinder horn, and the design of experiment (DOE) technique is employed to determine the optimum configuration of the spool horn. Displacement of the cylinder horn was measured using the Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV), and experimental results show good agreements with the predicted results. It appears that uniformity higher than 95% can be achieved with the spool horn when the proper dimension of the groove is used.

This paper presents an auxilary beam-assisted adaptive compensation technique applied to alleviate the problem of LDV's body vibration. The LMS algorithm is applied to adaptively compensate the body vibration utilizing the reference signal provided by the auxiliary beam. The usefulness of the proposed technique is verified computer simulations performed for diverse types of target signals and body vibration.

A micromachined self-exited piezoelectric cantilever has been fabricated using PZT(52/48) thin film. For the application to biosensor using antigen-antibody interaction, electromechanical properties such as resonant frequency and quality factor of micromachined piezoelectric cantilever were important factors. Electromechanical properties and resonant behaviors of microfabricated cantilever were simulated by FEA (Finite Element Analysis) using Coventorware$^{TM}$2003. And these characterization of microcantilever were measured by using LDV(Laser Doppler Vibrometer) to compare with FEA data. We present the resonant frequency shift of micromachined piezoelectric cantilevers due to combination of mass loading and change of spring constant by gold deposition. Experimental mass sensitivities of microcantilever were characterized by Au deposition on the backside of microcantilever. Mass sensitivities with $100{\times}300$ ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ dimension cantilever from simulation and experimental were 5.56 Hz/ng and 16.8 Hz/ng respectively.y.

A severe strip vibration in continuous galvanizing line facilities of the steel companies has sometimes occurred due to the exceeding wearing of the roll bush and bearing. This vibration brings on the lack of uniform coating thickness in steel plate. As a result, the total maintenance and product costs in this factory are increased by the shortage of operation time for the replacement of bush, bearings and these components. In this study, the vibration characteristics of this strip are investigated by the FEM using ANSYS. Also the vibration measurement of strip and its structure performed by the laser Doppler vibrometer(LDV) and accelerometers are compared to theoretical analysis results.

The Drosophila auditory system consists of four large basal segments: the arista, the funiculus, the pedicel, and the scape. When an acoustic stimulus is applied to the arista and the funiculus their mechanical vibrations are transmitted to chordotonal neurons in Johnston's organ where mechanoelectric transduction arises. We study the mechanotransduction mechanism in the Drosophila auditory system by using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) and extracellular electrophysiology. We find that large and small peaks appear alternatively and that the antenna vibration is asymmetric depending on whether the pedicel and the scape are fixed. Interestingly, we find that this asymmetric vibration accompanies the alternating neural peak structure. Here, we propose a mathematical model to explain the alternating peak structure by using a model consisting of two opposing neurons that are modeled as strings. Generally, strings have tension only when they are elongated. This property allows the alternating neural peaks for asymmetric antenna motion.
