  • Precision parts and instruments are tested to evaluate performance in development-process and product-step to prement a potential defect due to a failure design. In this paper, Environmental test technology, which is the basis of reliability analysis, is introduced with examples of test criterion, test method for products, encoder and traffic signal controller, and measuring instruments. Recently, as the importance of the environmental test technology is recognised. It is proposed that tranining of test technician and technology of jig design and failure analysis are very essential.

  • Eddy current testing (ECT) signals produced by a differential bobbin coil probe vary according to probe design parameters such as the number of turns, geometry and coil gap size. In the present study, the characteristics of a differential bobbin coil probe signals are investigated by numerical simulation in order to determine the optimum coil gap. For verification of numerical simulation accuracy, a specially designed bobbin probe of which the coil gap can be adjusted is fabricated and a series of experiments to acquire signals from two kinds of standard tubes with the variation in coil gap is performed. Then, the experimental signals are compared to the simulation results. Based on this investigation, a decision on the optimum range of coil gap is made. The theoretically predicted signals agree very well to the experimental signals. In fact, this excellent agreement demonstrates a high potential of the simulation as a design optimization tool for ECT bobbin probes.

  • Materials and parts required for nondestructive testing should be evaluated using with standard block. And it is ruled that standard blocks should be fabricated from same or similar material with test specimen. In order to manufacture and export materials and parts, quality assurance system should be required. In this paper, ultrasonic characteristics of ASTM 4340 steel ultrasonic standard block are investigated for nondestructive evaluation of udimet 720Li disc. Microstructures of udimet 720Li alloy are investigated using with optical and transmission electron microscope. Also ultrasonic transit time and attenuation are measured from high power ultrasonic analysis system with phase adjustment method. Conclusively, it is proved that 4340 steel ultrasonic standard block can be use for nondestructive evaluation of udimet 720Li disc.

  • Nondestructive testing techniques have been historically and commonly used to evaluate the quality of existing concrete structures. The techniques utilized included visual inspection, hammer sounding, Schmidt hammer rebounding, and ultrasonic pulse velocity testing including tomographic imaging. Results of the nondestructive tests were used to determine areas to be tested with local destructive tests. These tests included concrete compressive strengths, chloride testing, and petrographic testing. The overall results indicate that inside core of each of the pier caps are healthy. On all of the pier caps, extensive exterior concrete layer rehabilitation needs to be completed. This paper shows the application and interpretation of common nondestructive testing techniques and the consequent repair, rehabilitation, maintenance decisions and safety assesment.

  • The nondestructive test is widely used in the field of diagnosis and maintenance to evaluate the degree of damaging of structures caused by aging, and the demand for this test method is expected to continue increasing. However, there is a lack of standards related to the nondestructive test, and South Korea is relying heavily on developed nations for original technologies related to diagnosis. It is an urgent task to establish a nondestructive test method appropriate for the circumstance of South Korea. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze estimated error of compressive strength in single-story structures comprised of vertical and horizontal reinforced concrete members using the impact testing method and rebound hardness method, which are nondestructive test methods, and to review on-site applicability of these methods. Based on compressive strength of the structures estimated, overall mean error was 21.2% for the impact testing method and 15.6% for the rebound hardness method. The necessity of a reliable diagnostic method based on compound nondestructive test methods to increase accuracy of estimation was confirmed.

  • 이상적인 검사는 합부판정 기준보다 큰 결함을 100%검출, 불합격시키고 그보다 작은 결함은 100% 합격시킬 수 있으나 현실적으로 이는 불가능하고 검사의 본질적인 불확실성으로 인해 때로는 합격되어야 할 결함이 불합격으로 처리되거나 (TYPE 1 ERROR라 칭함) 불합격되어야 할 결함이 합격으로 처리되기도 한다. (TYPE 2 ERROR) TYPE 1 ERROR 및 TYPE 2 ERROR를 동시에 줄이기 위해서는 검사의 불확실성을 제거하여야 하며 주어진 합부판정 기준과 검사불확실성하에서 검사를 둘러싼 총경비를 최소화시키기 위하여는 TYPE 1 ERROR와 TYPE 2 ERROR의 확률 및 그로 인한 예상 경비를 관련시켜야 한다.

  • DC potential drop(DCPD) measurement system was made and the optimum measuring conditions have been studied. The room temperature resistivity of commercially available medium carbon steel(S45C) was measured using this technique. DCPD was measured in the specimens which were hardened and tempered at different temperatures. It was found that DCPD reflected the change of the microstructure during tempering very sensitively. It was possible to monitor the stage of tempering of S45C steel nondestructively using DCPD measurement.
