We have developed an analytic software that can easily analyze the spot position and width of proton beam therapy nozzles in a periodic quality assurance. The developed software consists of an image processing method that conducts an analysis using center-of-spot geometry and a Gaussian fitting method that conducts an analysis through Gaussian fitting. By using the software, an analysis of 210 proton spots with energies 150, 190, and 230 MeV showed a deviation of approximately 3% from the mean. The software we developed to analyze proton spot positions and widths provides an accurate analysis and reduces the time for analysis.

For more than 10 years, the laser process has been studied for dismantling work; however, relatively few research works have addressed the effect of high-power fiber laser cutting for thick sections. Since in the nuclear sector, a significant quantity of thick material is required to be cut, this study aims to improve the reliability of laser cutting for such work and indicates guidelines to optimize the cutting procedure, in particular, nozzle combinations (standoff distance and focus position), to minimize waste material. The results obtained show the performance levels that can be reached with 10 kW fiber lasers, using which it is possible to obtain narrower kerfs than those found in published results obtained with other lasers. Nonetheless, fiber lasers appear to show the same effects as those of $CO_2$ and ND:YAG lasers. Thus, the main factor that affects the kerf width is the focal position, which means that minimum laser spot diameters are advised for smaller kerf widths.

During laser spot welding of the braun tube electron gun, phenomena such as serious spattering and oxidative reaction, etc. were occurred. The spatter occurred from weld pool affects the braun tube, namely it blocks up a very small hole on the shadow mask and causes short circuit between two roles of the electron gun. We guessed that high power density and oxidative reaction are main sources of these problems. So, we studied to prevent and to reduce spatter occurring in spot welding of the braun tube electron gun using pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The characteristics of laser output power was estimated, and the loss of laser energy by optical parameter and spatter was measured by powermeter. The effects of welding parameters, laser defocused distance and incident angle, were investigated on the shape and penetration depth of the laser welded bead in flare and flange joints. From these results, the laser peak power was a major factor to control penetration depth and to occur spatter. It was found that the losses of laser energy by optic parameter and sticked spatter affect seriously laser weldability of thin sheets. The deepest penetration depth is gotten on focal position, and a "bead transition" occurred with a slight displacement of focal position relative to the workpiece surface and the absorption rate of the laser energy is affected by the shape factor of the workpiece. When we changed the incident angle of laser beam, the penetration depth was decreased a little with increasing of the incident angle, and the bead width was increased. The spattering was prevented by considering laser beam energy and incident angle.ent angle.

Laser surface hardening technologies have been used to improve characteristics of wear and to enhance the fatigue resistance for mold parts. The objective of this research work is to investigate the influence of the process parameters, such as power of laser and defocused spot position, on the characteristics of laser surface hardening for the case of SKD61 steel. CW Nd:YAG laser is selected as the heat source. The optical lens with the elliptical profile is designed to obtain a wide surface hardening area with a uniform hardness. From the results of the experiments, it has been shown that the maximum hardness is approximatly 740 Hv when the power, focal position and the travel of laser are 1,095 W, +1mm and 0.3 m/min, respectively. In addition, the hardening width using the elliptical lens was three time larger than that using the defocusing of laser beam.

엑스선유방촬영술은 다양한 유방질환 중 석회화 병변을 진단하는데 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 환자의 의료피폭 저감과 진단에 필요한 최적의 영상을 얻기 위해서는 성능유지를 지속적으로 관리해야 한다. 엑스선유방촬영술에서 엑스선을 발생시키는 양극의 경사각도는 중심선을 기준으로 하기 때문에 조사야 내의 위치에 따라 엑스선관의 유효초점이 미세하게 달라질 수 있어 공간분해능의 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 엑스선유방촬영장치에서 검출기 위치에 따른 LSF를 측정하여 MTF를 계산함으로써 공간분해능 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. 와이어 직경에 대한 변화에서 $50{\mu}m$ 직경의 와이어의 경우 가장 높은 공간주파수 값을 나타냈으며 검출기의 픽셀보다 작은 직경을 갖는 와이어를 사용해야 검출기의 공간주파수에 따른 응답을 바르게 구할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 조사야 내의 검출기의 위치에 따라서 공간주파수는 중심부분의 와이어가 나머지 와이어보다 우수한 MTF 특성을 보였으나, 그 차이는 미소하게 나타났다. 또한 중앙부분에서 반치폭 또는 유효초첨이 가장 작게 나타났으며 중앙에서 벗어날수록 반치폭이 증가하여 공간분해능이 낮아진 것으로 나타났다.

Effect of welding parameters such as current, speed and electrode pressure on the weld quality of tin coated steels for small containers was discussed in this paper. Welding was performed with low frequency wire seam welding system which was loaded with 1.5mm in diameter copper wire electrode. The welding parameters were monitored at the position close to the welding spot so as to minimize the instrumentation error, and the signals were stored into a digital data acquisition system before analysis. Results showed that critical current for sufficient nugget size increased as the base material thickness increased, while the width of the optimum welding range was reduced. The acceptable welding condition derived from this study was found to be effective within the thickness range of $\pm$10% of the nominal (0.25mm) thickness. Tin coating layer was proved not to affect seriously on the weld quality, i.e. strength and formability, since consumable wire electrode was used in this process. Test results also demonstrated that the welding current was thought to be the most effective parameter to form an acceptable weld, while welding speed or electrode pressure exerted less effect on the nugget formation. However, these two parameters played an important role because the former was related to the nugget overlap interval, and the latter, to the formation of expulsion during welding.

The bjective of this research work is to investigate the influence of the process parameters, such as power of laser and defocused spot position, on the characteristics of laser heat treatment for the case of SM45C medium carbon steel. CW Nd:YAG laser is selected as the heat source. The optical lens with the elliptical profile is designed to obtain a wide heat treatment area with a uniform hardness. From the results of the experiments, it has been shown that the maximum hardness is approximatly 780 Hv when the power and the travel of laser are 1,095 W and 0.6 m/min, respectively. In addition, the hardening width using the elliptical lens was three time larger than that using the defocusing of laser beam.

An UET (ultrasound excited thermography) has been used for several years for a remote non-destructive testing in the automotive and aircraft industry. It provides a thermo sonic image for a defect detection. A thermograhy is based On a propagation and a reflection of a thermal wave, which is launched from the surface into the inspected sample by an absorption of a modulated radiation. For an energy deposition to a sample, the UET uses an ultrasound excited vibration energy as an internal heat source. In this paper the applicability of the UET for a realtime defect detection is described. Measurements were performed on two kinds of pipes made from a copper and a CFRP material. In the interior of the CFRP pipe (70mm diameter), a groove (width - 6mm, depth - 2.7mm, and length - 70mm) was engraved by a milling. In the case of the copper pipe, a defect was made with a groove (width - 2mm, depth - 1mm, and length - 110 mm) by the same method. An ultrasonic vibration energy of a pulsed type is injected into the exterior side of the pipe. A hot spot, which is a small area around the defect was considerably heated up when compared to the other intact areas, was observed. A test On a damaged copper pipe produced a thermo sonic image, which was an excellent image contrast when compared to a CFRP pipe. Test on a CFRP pipe with a subsurface defect revealed a thermo sonic image at the groove position which was a relatively weak contrast.

엄밀한 기하광학적 광선추적을 이용하여, 2차원 TPHK가 푸리에변환 렌즈로 사용될 때, 표면양각형태에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 2차원 TPHK(F/8, 초점거리 15 mm)의 기판두께가 0, 50$\mu\textrm{m}$인 두 경우에 있어서, 표면양각형태를 평면-볼록면에서 볼록면-평면까지 51단계로 나누어, 세가지 입사각($0^{\circ},{2.5}^{\circ},5^{\circ}$)에 대한 광선추적을 실시하였다. 광선추적의 결과로 얻은 rms 스폿크기, $f{\sin}{\theta}$위치에 대한 rms편차, 최고점위치, FWHM(full width at half maximum), 추적에서 제외된 광선수 등을 평가 기준으로 사용하였는데, 그 결과, 기판의 유무에 무관하게, 표면양각높이의 80%가 상면 쪽에 존재하는 양볼록 형태를 가지는 TPHK가 푸리에변환 렌즈로서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
