The magnetic flux leakage(MFL) type nondestructive testing(NDT) method is widely used to detect corrosion, defects and mechanical deformation of the underground gas pipelines. The object pipeline is magnetically saturated by the magnetic system with permanent magnet and yokes. Hall sensors detect the leakage fields in the region of the defect. The defects are sometimes occurred in group. The accuracy of the detecting signals in this defect cluster become lowered because of the complexity of the defect cluster. In this paper, the effects of the multi -defects are analyzed. The detecting signals are computed by 3-dimensional finite element method and compared with real measurement. The results say that, rather than the size of the defects, the effects of the relative position of the multi-defects are very important on the detecting signals.

Measurement of welding residual stresses is one of important tasks to assess the structural integrity of welded structures. For operating components, especially, nondestructive techniques are required. By now, authors have proposed a new residual stress evaluation method, the bead flush method, where residual stresses are calculated from eigenstrain distribution determined by surface removal of reinforcement. In this paper, a brief description of the bead flush method is given and its utility and problem to be overcome are discussed. And also stabilization method of solution set of eigenstrain in inverse analysis is proposed.

The Ferrule for the Optical Communication Connector is the product to set the optical ares of an optical fiber very precisely. Therefore, it is required high expectations such as high dimensional precision and new including flaws. Up to new the optical instrument has been used for the defeat and shape inspection of the ferrule, but in the paper we examined the detectable defeat and expectation by using Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy(RUS). The RUS is the measurement which is to excite specimen and to inspect the difference at natural frequency pattern between acceptable specimen and specimen which has some defeats. We analyzed the difference of natural frequency pattern in the experiment using Spectrum Analyzer. And we compared the results in the experiment with those in the simulation from the explicit finite elements code, Nastran.

본 보고는 79년 이후부터 90. 9월까지 한국전력공사의 전 사업소의 터빈 베어링 보관품에 대한 비파괴시험 결과와 보관 방법 개선후의 효과 측정 결과를 기술한 내용이다. 비파괴시험을 실시한 결과 총 156조 중 115조(73.7%)라는 많은 수의 베어링에서 결함이 발생되어 예비품으로서의 역할을 못하고 있는 실정이었다. 이에 따라 지역적인 특성을 고려하여 영동, 인천, 호남화력발전처를 대상으로 선정하여 터빈 베어링의 적정보관 방법 개선 시험을 완료(91.12)하였으며, 보관 방법 개선후 4년간($92.1{\sim}95.12$)의 효과를 측정하고 그 결과를 기술하였다.

This dissertation finds out trouble types and occurrence regions using the faulty statistics of nondestructive test items in rolling stock parts of the Seoul Metro and using mechanical test about defective and broken parts with broken surface observation, cutting examination about trouble region, hardness experiment and tensile test. Also this dissertation finds out cause of trouble and damage through observation of microscopic formation using metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope, residual stress measurement about welding parts and damage diagnosis about defective and broken parts. Moreover it will present the improved plan of nondestructive method about trouble and the removal method of defect and repair welding and find solutions of reliability in parts and preventive maintenance.

The optimum test conditions of measuring the crack height were determined for the two-probe ultrasonic diffraction method. The applicability and the accuracy of the two-probe ultrasonic diffraction method on the inclined artificial cracks and the fatigue cracks were evaluated. It us possible to measure the height of the normal and inclined artificial cracks with the maximum error of ${\pm}\;0.5mm$ with the two-probe ultrasonic diffraction method. It was found, however, that the accuracy of this method in meaasuring the height of the fatigue crack depends on the degree of closure of the crack tip. It was desirable to choose a refraction angle as small as possible, but the angle should not be so small that the distortion of the lateral waveform became appreciable.

The scanning laser source (SLS) technique has been proposed recently as an effective way to investigate small surface-breaking defects, By monitoring the amplitude and frequency changes of the ultrasound generated as the SLS scans over a defect, the SLS technique has provided enhanced signal-to-noise performance compared to the traditional pitch-catch or pulse-echo ultrasonic methods, An extension of the SLS approach to map defects in microdevices is proposed by bringing both the generator and the receiver to the near-field scattering region of the defects, To facilitate near-field ultrasound measurement, silicon microcantilever probes are fabricated using microfabrication technique and their acoustical characteristics are investigated, Then, both the laser-generated ultrasonic source and the microcantilever probe are used to monitor near-field scattering by a surface-breaking defect.

This paper explored the results of experimental investigation on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sample with thermal wave technique. The thermal wave technique combines the advantages of both conventional thermal wave measurement and thermography using a commercial Infrared camera. The sample comprises the artificial inclusions of foreign material to simulate defects of different shape and size at different depths. Lock-in thermography is employed for the detection of defects. The temperature field of the front surface of sample was observed and analysed at several excitation frequencies ranging from 0.562 Hz down to 0.032 Hz. Four-point methodology was applied to extract the amplitude and phase of thermal wave's harmonic component. The phase images are analyzed to find qualitative and quantitative information about the defects.

In order to examine the effect of voids on the ultrasonic wave velocity, specimens made of Silica-Sand with voids were prepared for the measurements. The volume fraction of 0, 15, and 30% of voids were used to compare the differences. Because of its more homogeneous distribution of materials properties, the Silica-Sand specimens were used, as compared to mortar specimens. The results showed clear change in ultrasonic wave velocity with different volume fraction of voids. This result is to be used for the estimation of the integrity of concrete structures using ultrasonic wave velocity method as nondestructive testing.

This study performs to investigate deformation of wall thinning pipe and to find out the position of the internal thinning defect by shearography. Shearography is one of optical methods those have applied to nondestructive testing (NDT) and the strain/stress analysis. This technique has the merit of the directly measuring the first derivative of displacement, sensitivity of which can be adjusted by the handling of optical component in interferometer. In this paper, we tested carbon steel pipe locally wall thinned and loaded internal pressure and developed the nondestructive out-of-plane deformation analysis technique fur internal thinning defect of elbow by shearography. From the results, it was confirmed that this technique is proper to the practical application on the pipe line system with internal defect.
