This study presents the NDE (non-destructive evaluation) technique for detecting the loosened bolts on joint steel structures on the basis of TOF (time of flight) and amplitudes of Lamb waves. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) technique which is an effective tool for pattern classification problem was applied to the damage estimation using PZT induced Lamb waves. Two kinds of damages were introduced by dominant damages (DD) which mean loosened bolts within the Lamb waves beam width and minor damages (MD) which mean loosened bolts out of the Lamb waves beam width. They were investigated for the establishment of the optimal decision boundaries which divide each damage class's region including the intact class. In this study, the applicability of the probabilistic neural networks was identified through the test results for the damage cases within and out of wave beam path. It has been found that the present methods are very efficient and reasonable in predicting the loosened bolts on the joint steel structures probabilistically.

It is necessary to guarantee the safety, serviceability and durability of reinforced concrete structures over their service life. However, concrete structures represent a decrease in their durability due to the effects of external environments according to the passage of time, and such degradation in durability can cause structural degradation in materials. In concrete structures, some degradations in durability increase the corrosion of embedded rebars and also decrease the structural performance of materials. Thus, the structural condition assessment of RC materials damaged by corrosion of rebars becomes an important factor that judges needs to apply restoration. In order to detect the damage of reinforced concrete structures, a visual inspection, a nondestructive evaluation method(NDE) and a specific loading test have been employed. However, obscurities for visual inspection and inaccessible members raise difficulty in evaluating structure condition. For these reasons, detection of location and quantification of the damage in structures via structural response have been one of the very important topics in system identification research. The main objective of this project is to develope a methodologies for the damage identification via static responses of the members damaged by durability. Six reinforced concrete beams with variables of corrosion position and corrosion width were fabricated and the damage detections of corroded RC beams were performed by the optimization and the conjugate beam methods using static deflection. In results it is proved that the conjugate beam method could predict the damage of RC members practically.

This work introduces a two-module robotic pipe inspection system with ultrasonic NDE device to evaluate the integrity of pipe structures. The proposed robotic platform has high mobility. The two module mobile robot platform overcomes pipe obstacle structures such as elbow, or T-branch joints by cooperative maneuvers. Also, it can climb up the straight pipeline at a fast speed due to the wheel driven mechanism. For inspection of pipe structure, SH-waves generated by EMAT are applied with additional signal processing methods. A wavelet transform is implemented to extract a meaningful and specific signal from the superposed SH-wave signals. Intensity ratio which is normalized the defect signals intensity by the maximum intensity of directly transmitted signals in the wavelet transforms spectrum is applied to evaluate defects quantitatively. It is experimentally verified that the robotic ultrasonic inspection system with EMAT is capable of non-destructive inspection and evaluation of defects in pipe structure successfully by applying signal processing method based on wavelet transform.

Oil filters for vehicular parts are used under high and low temperatures as the engine is cooled, and defects can be generated with repeated changes in the operating environment and with changes in the shape, such as very high internal losses for the bolts. Visually checking for defects inside a bolt is impossible. Nondestructive evaluation methods such as eddy current testing (ECT) are recommended as a more effective way to examine inside a bolt and detect surface defects in a short amount of time. In this study, the fit bobbin coil eddy current probe was applied to checking the bolts. The bolt parameters were calculated by using a COMSOL analysis program to obtain parameters for professional interior design and fault diagnosis.

신경망 기반의 신호 분류 시스템은 비파괴 검사 시 추출되는 많은 양의 데이터를 처리하기 위한 방법으로 꾸준히 이용되고 있다. 비파괴검사 방법 중, 초음파 탐상법은 용접 지역에서 결함들을 찾기 위하여 비파괴 검사에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 추세다. 초음파 탐상법의 중요한 특징은 특정 신호에서 발생하는 불연속성을 판별해내는 능력이다. 지금까지의 보편화되어 있는 기술은 신호를 분류하기 위해 각각의 A-scan 신호를 처리하는 반면 본 논문에서는 이웃하는 A-scan 신호의 정보를 기반으로 하는 2차원 푸리에 변환(Fourier transform)과 주성분 분석(principal component analysis) 기법을 이용하여 특징 벡터를 추출, 분류하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP, carbon fiber reinforced plastics)에 충격을 가하여 발생하는 결함에 대한 분석을, 특히 눈으로 식별이 어려운 손상(Barely Visible Impact Damage: BVID)을 중심으로 진행하였다. 낙하형 충격시험기를 통하여 충격 시험을 진행하였고, 추의 자유 낙하를 통하여 실제 항공기에 적용된 복합재료에 충격에 의한 손상을 모사한 후, 표면과 내부에 다양한 비파괴 검사를 적용하여 충격에너지에 따른 시편의 결함 거동을 확인하고 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 여러 가지 비파괴 검사법을 사용하여 결함을 비교, 분석, 검토하였다. 그 결과 눈으로 식별이 어려운 손상과 이를 측정하기 위해 사용된 각각의 측정법에 따른 특성이 논의되었다. 일반적으로 육안으로 보이는 표면결함보다 큰 결함이 내부에 발생하였으나, 충격에너지가 작아지면 내부결함이 표면결함 보다 작을 수 있다는 사실이 관찰되었다.

This paper presents a new concept of using PZT (lead zircornate titanate) transducers as a non-destructive testing (NDT) tool for evaluating quality of concrete. Detection of defects in concrete is very important in order to check the integrity of concrete structures. The electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) response of PZT transducers bonded onto a concrete specimen can be used for evaluating local condition of the specimen. Measurements are carried out by electrically exciting the bonded PZT transducers at high frequency range and taking response measurements of the transducers. In this study, the compression test results showed that concrete specimens without sufficient compaction are likely to fall below the desired strength. In addition, the strength of concrete was greatly reduced as the voids in concrete were increased. It was found that the root mean square deviation (RMSD) values yielded between the EMI signatures for concrete specimens in dry and saturated states showed good agreement with the specimens' compressive strength and permeable voids. A quality metric was introduced for predicting the quality of concrete based on the dry-saturated state of concrete specimens. The simplicity of the method and the current development towards low cost and portable impedance measuring system, offer an advantage over other NDE methods for evaluating concrete quality.

탄성파의 변형 및 응력계산에 관한 연구는 비파괴검사를 비롯하여 광범위한 공학분야에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 파형의 산란문제가 많은 연구자들에 의해 다양한 방법으로 연구되고 있다. 실린더 또는 구와 같은 간단한 형상을 지닌 산란체에 대하여, 정상상태 탄성파의 산란문제의 해석은 해석적 기법을 이용한 연구가 가능하다. 하지만 임의의 형상을 갖는 산란체 또는 다수의 함유체에 대한 해석에는 수치해석방법이 요구된다. 예를 들면, 무한요소법 또는 Global-Local 유한요소법이라고 하는 혼성 유한요소법과 같은 특수한 유한요소법등이 개발되고 있다. 최근에는 경계요소법을 사용한 산란문제의 해석에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 임의의 형상을 갖는 함유체, 공동 또는 크랙을 포함하고있는 무한고체에서의 일반적인 탄성동력학 문제를 해석하기 위해 새롭게 개발된 체적적분 방정식법을 소개한다. 또한 경계요소법을 사용하여 탄성파의 산란문제에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 이의 결과를 체적적분 방정식법의 결과와 비교 검토 하였다.
