  • The use of nonlinear ultrasonics wave has been accepted as a promising tool for monitoring material states related to microstructural changes, as it has improved sensitivity compared to conventional non-destructive testing approaches. In this paper, third harmonic generation of shear horizontal guided waves propagating in an isotropic plate is investigated using the perturbation method and modal analysis approach. An experimental procedure is proposed to detect the third harmonics of shear horizontal guided waves by electromagnetic transducers. The strongly nonlinear response of shear horizontal guided waves is measured. The accumulative growth of relative acoustic nonlinear response with an increase of propagation distance is detected in this investigation. The experimental results agree with the theoretical prediction, and thus providing another indication of the feasibility of using higher harmonic generation of electromagnetic shear horizontal guided waves for material characterization.

  • This is concerned with the radiation pattern of elastic waves in a plate generated by an orientation-adjustable patch-type magnetostrictive transducer. In general, not only the Lamb waves but also shear horizontal (SH) waves are produced by the deformation of the circular magnetostrictive patch bonded to a plate. Among the two types of waves, this paper investigates the radiation patterns of SH waves. A number of experimental results are presented. They are also accurately predicted by a theory developed by the present authors. Experimental findings were explained by a theoretical analysis.

  • This paper describes a tomographic imaging technique for evaluating the thickness reduction of a plate-like structure using a noncontact sensor network based on an electromagnetic acoustic transducer that generates shear horizontal plate waves. Because this technique is based on the effect of mode cutoff and time of flight of guided waves caused by a change in thickness, the tomographic image provides information on the presence of defects in the structure. To verify the performance of the method, artificial defects with various thickness reduction ratios were machined in an aluminum plate, and the tomographic imaging results are reported. The results show that the generated tomographic image displays the thickness reductions and can identify their locations. Therefore, the proposed technique has good potential as a tool for health monitoring of the integrity of plate-like structures.

  • Nondestructive inspection (NDI) is an integral part of structural integrity analyses of dry storage casks that house spent nuclear fuel. One significant concern for the structural integrity is stress corrosion cracking in the heat-affected zone of welds in the stainless steel canister that confines the spent fuel. In situ NDI methodology for detection of stress corrosion cracking is investigated, where the inspection uses a delivery robot because of the presence of the harsh environment and geometric constrains inside the cask protecting the canister. Shear horizontal (SH) guided waves that are sensitive to cracks oriented either perpendicular or parallel to the wave vector are used to locate welds and to detect cracks. SH waves are excited and received by electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) using noncontact ultrasonic transduction and pulse-echo mode. A laboratory-scale canister mock-up is fabricated and inspected using the proposed methodology to evaluate the ability of EMATs to excite and receive SH waves and to locate welds. The EMAT's capability to detect notches from various distances is evaluated on a plate containing 25%-through-thickness surface-breaking notches. Based on the results of the distances at which notch reflections are detectable, NDI coverage for spent nuclear fuel storage canisters is determined.

  • The objective of this presentation is to introduce a recent development of a magnetostrictive grating technique using an optimal yoke to efficiently generate and measure SH (Shear-Horizontal) waves in a plate. Gratings are effective means to generate frequency-tuned waves, but the gap between magnetostrictive gratings inevitably obstructs magnetic flow. Because magnetic field is the main physical quantity to actuate and sense ultrasonic waves, the transducer performance is most significantly influenced by the magnetic field distribution in the strips. Thus, wave transduction efficiency can be substantially improved if better magnetic flow is formed in the strips. To improve the efficiency, the topology optimization method was used to determine an optimal yoke configuration. A series of experiments on an aluminum plate were conducted using a grating with and without the designed yoke; when the yoke was used, the signal outputs increased up to 60 %.

  • SH파 굴절법 토모그래피와 표면파 분산자료 역산을 통하여 2차원 S파 속도단면을 각각 구하였고, 비교 목적으로 P파 속도단면도 함께 구하였다. P파와 표면파는 지표에 수직하게 타격하여 발생시켰으며, 100 Hz와 4.5 Hz 수직지오폰 24개로 각각 수신하였다. SH파는 50 kg 나무원목의 좌우를 타격하여 발생시켰고, 8 Hz 수평 지오폰으로 수신하였으며, 좌측타격에서 우측타격을 빼주어 SH파 신호를 강화하였다. 초동주시 토모그램과 표면파 분산곡선으로부터 역산과정을 거쳐서 구한 S파 속도단면을 비교한 결과, 두 단면의 전체적인 양상은 서로 비슷하지만, 표면파 역산으로 구한 S파 속도단면이 전반적으로 작은 값을 갖는 경향을 보인다. 잡음에 취약한 SH파는 P파 및 PS 변환파 도달 이후에 기록되어 초동선택이 어려운 문제가 있으며, 균질한 수평모델을 가정하는 표면파의 분산곡선 역산은 측방 변화가 심한 곳에서 지하구조를 정확히 밝히는데 한계가 있음을 보인다.

  • 전자기 초음파 탐촉자(electromagnetic acoustic transducer; EMAT)는 접촉 매질 없이 초음파의 송 수신이 가능하며 자석과 코일의 형상과 배열을 조절하여 SH파나 Lamb파 같은 유도 초음파 모드를 용이하게 발생시킬 수 있다. 또한 이러한 유도 초음파는 박판에서 판 두께 전체를 장거리로 전파하며 두께에 따른 분산특성이 있이 배관 등의 구조물을 탐상하는데 효과적인 비파괴검사 기법으로 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수평횡파(shear horizontal wave; SH)의 전파 거동을 해석하고 EMAT을 이용하여 SH파를 발생하여 스틸 박판의 두께 감육을 평가하였다. 그 결과 SH파의 분산특성은 두께 감육량의 증가에 따라 군속도가 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 군속도 변화를 통해 두께 감육량을 정량적으로 평가하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • Previous research has shown that steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are efficient lateral force-resisting systems against both wind and seismic loads. A properly designed SPSW can have high initial stiffness, strength, and energy absorption capacity as well as superior ductility. SPSWs have been commonly designed with unstiffened and stiffened infill plates based on economical and performance considerations. Recent introduction and application of corrugated plates with advantageous structural features has motivated the researchers to consider the employment of such elements in stiffened SPSWs with the aim of lowering the high construction cost of such high-performing systems. On this basis, this paper presents results from a numerical investigation of the hysteretic performance of SPSWs with trapezoidally corrugated infill plates. Finite element cyclic analyses are conducted on a series of flat- and corrugated-web SPSWs to examine the effects of web-plate thickness, corrugation angle, and number of corrugation half-waves on the hysteretic performance of such structural systems. Results of the parametric studies are indicative of effectiveness of increasing of the three aforementioned web-plate geometrical and corrugation parameters in improving the cyclic response and energy absorption capacity of SPSWs with trapezoidally corrugated infill plates. Increasing of the web-plate thickness and number of corrugation half-waves are found to be the most and the least effective in adjusting the hysteretic performance of such promising lateral force-resisting systems, respectively. Findings of this study also show that optimal selection of the web-plate thickness, corrugation angle, and number of corrugation half-waves along with proper design of the boundary frame members can result in high stiffness, strength, and cyclic performances of such corrugated-web SPSWs.

  • In this paper, study on the mode characteristics analysis of the SH-EMAT (shear horizontal, electromagnetic acoustic transducer) waves for evaluating the thickness reduction in plates such as corrosion and friction is presented. Noncontact methods for ultrasonic wave generation and detection have been a great concern and highly demanded due to their capability of wave generation and reception on surface of high temperature or on rough surface. Mode identification of the SH-EMAT wave is carried out in an aluminum plate with thinning defects using time frequency analysis method such as wavelet transform, compared with theoretically calculated group velocity dispersion curve. The changes of various wave features such as the amplitude and the time-of-flight have been observed and the correlations with the thickness reduction have been investigated. Firstly, experiments have been conducted to confirm that it is possible to selectively generate and receive specific desired SH modes. These modes have then been analyzed to select the parameters that are sensitive to the thickness change. The results show that the mode cutoff and the time-of-flight changes are feasible as key parameters to evaluate the thickness reduction.

  • 수평횡파(SH-wave)는 배관과 같은 박판 구조물에서 판파 모드로 전파하고 분산성이 단순하여 구조물의 건전성 평가에 유용하다. 전자기초음파탐촉자(EMAT)는 비접촉식으로 자석과 코일 배열을 조절하여 수평횡파를 발생하기 용이하다. 따라서 수평횡파 전자기초음파탐촉자(SH-EMAT)를 이용한 자동화 검사 시스템은 박판 구조물 건전성 감시에 매우 유용하다. 하지만 발전설비 또는 자동화 장비 등에서는 전자기노이즈가 상당히 많이 발생하고 EMAT 수신 센서는 전자기노이즈에 취약한 면이 있다. 광섬유 센서는 빛을 이용하여 전자기노이즈 환경에서 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 환경적 제약을 고려하여 광섬유 패브리-페롯 간섭계(FFPI)를 SH-EMAT으로 발생되는 초음파의 수신용 센서로 제안하였다. 평판시험편에서 SH-EMAT의 신호를 FFPI 센서를 이용하여 수신하고 이 신호에 대한 분석을 하였다. 제안된 FFPI 센서가 EMAT으로 가진된 SH wave의 신호를 명료하게 수신할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
