  • This paper is written to introduce a multimedia tutoring system for nondestructive testing using personal computer. Nondestructive testing, one of the chief methods for inspecting welds and many other components, is very difficult for the NDT inspectors to understand its technical basis without a wide experience. And it is necessary for considerable repeated education and training for keeping their knowledge. The tutoring system that can simulate NDT works is suggested to solve the above problem based on reasonable condition. The tutoring system shows basic theories of nondestructive testing in a book-style with video images and hyper-links, and it offers practices, in which users can simulate the testing equipment. The book-style and simulation practices provide effective and individual environments for learning nondestructive testing.

  • This paper describes the procedures and results of an acoustic emission testing performed during hydrotest of spherical pressure vessel for propane storage. A computer based multi-channel real time monitoring and source location analysis AET-4900 system was used for AE testing. The vessel was extremely quiet throughout the entire test run and especially 6 to $14.5kg/cm^{2}$, it is normal operating pressure range. After exceeding $14.5kg/cm^{2}$, one of the 20 sections showed the most event in any one section 11 total but there were scattered at different locations. In order to confirm the events seen in horizontal weld line of that section, proof testing was performed with ultrasonics and radiography.

  • The usefulness of the magnetic camera for non-destructive testing of aging aircraft is discussed in this paper. The magnetic camera can be used f magnetic particle testing(MT), magnetic flux leakage testing(MFLT), eddy current testing(ECT) and penetration testing(PT). It measures the distribution of a magnetic field and visualizes the magnetic pattern. Near and far side cracks, fatigue, thickness degradation, and cracks under rivets have been detected. The possibility of quantitative evaluation was also examined. Using indirect experiments, we verified the detection ability of the sensor for cracks in titanium and advanced composite materials.

  • 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.

  • The three dimensional measuring method with minimizing operational errors for the arbitrary shaped-internal cavity based on the information of the X-ray nondestructive test is presented. Two experimental tests using artificial cavities were considered in order to verify the availity of PEVACA. In these test, X-ray NDT was conducted for detecting cavities, and the comparion between the calculating values from PEVACA and the real values from measuring the cavities was performed. As a result of this study, three dimensional cavities information using PEVACA are in good agreement with the real measured values within ${\pm}0.5mm$. The computer code, "PEVACA", contributes not only to improvement of data accuracy but also to saving of the work time and data documentation.
