The specific strength of the fiber reinforced composite material is closely related to the anisotropy of the material. For the quantitative characterization of the anisotropy in the composite material, applied was CODF concept which was extensively used in the metallic material. As the results, the anisotropy of the material could be quantitatively analysed from the measurement of the phase velocities of the angular dependent $SH_o$ waves.

Welding residual stress was measured by Barkhausen noise method. The calibration experiment was done for the quantitative analysis. The specimen for the calibration experiment must has the same thermo-mechanical history as the actual material to be tested. The Barkhausen noise were analysed by the pulse-height distribution. The results show that the distribution and magnitude of welding residual stress from Barkhausen noise method are in good agreement with those from blind hole method.

Infrared thermography uses infrared energy radiated from any objects above absolute zero temperature, and the range of its application has been constantly broadened. As one of the active test techniques detecting radiant energy generated when energy is applied to an object, ultrasound infrared thermography is a method of detecting defects through hot spots occurring at a defect area when 15~100 kHz of ultrasound is excited to an object. This technique is effective in detecting a wide range affected by ultrasound and vibration in real time. Especially, it is really effective when a defect area is minute. Therefore, this study conducted thermography through lock-in signal processing when an actual defect exists inside the austenite STS304 seamless pipe, which simulates thermal fatigue cracks in a nuclear power plant pipe. With ultrasound excited, this study could detect defects on the rear of a pipe by using an aluminium reflector. Besides, by regulating the angle of the aluminium reflector, this study could detect both front and rear defects as a single infrared thermography image.

Non-destructive testing methods for composite materials (e.g., carbon fiber-reinforced and glass fiber-reinforced plastic) have been widely used to detect damage in the overall industry. This study detects defects using optical infrared thermography. The transient heat transport in a solid body is characterized by two dynamic quantities, namely, thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity. The first quantity describes the speed with thermal energy diffuses through a material, whereas the second one represents a type of thermal inertia. The defect detection rate is increased by utilizing a lock-in method and performing a comparison of the defect detection rates. The comparison is conducted by dividing the irradiation method into reflection and transmission methods and the irradiation time into 50 mHz and 100 mHz. The experimental results show that detecting defects at 50 mHz is easy using the transmission method. This result implies that low-frequency thermal waves penetrate a material deeper than the high-frequency waves.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wave is needed to analyze radar measurement results and to study the influence of measurement parameters on the radar measurements. Finite difference-time domain (FD-TD) method is used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. Three concrete specimens with a 25 mm delamination embedded at 25 mm, 50 mm, and 75mm depth are modeled in 3-dimension. Also, thickness change of delamination and permittivity change are modeled.

Ultrasonic spectroscopy is likely to become a very powerful NDE method for detection of microfects and thickness measurement of thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution in the opaque materials, provides a useful information that cannot be obtained by a conventional ultrasonic measuring system. In this paper, we considered a thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution sandwitched between two substances as acoustical analysis model, demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic spectroscopic analysis technique using information of ultrasonic frequency for measurements of thin film thickness, regardless of interference phenomenon and phase reversion of ultrasonic waveform. By using frequency intervals(${\triangle}f$) of periodic minima from the ratio of reference power spectrum of reflective waveform obtained a sample to power spectrum of multiple reflective waves obtained interference phenomenon caused by ultrasonic waves reflected at the upper and lower surfaces of a thin layer, can measured even dimensions of interest are smaller than the ultrasonic wave length with simplicity and accuracy.

If the infinitesimal delamination exists and the two waves can hardly be distinguished from each other on account of being much closer, we cannot measure the thickness of delamination by the time difference method. On this study, we calculated the thickness of infinitesimal delamination model by means of measuring echo height due to the deflection of material particles and utilized Newton Ring for optical measurement as a delamination model. From the result of Newton Ring expressed in the delamination model, we can calculate the infinitesimal delamination thickness up to $0.2{\sim}0.3{\mu}m$ due to the difference of acoustic impedance by the ratio of the echo height to the total reflection.
