Feasibility is studied for an application of the mass-spring lattice model (MSLM), a numerical model previously developed for unidirectional composites, to the numerical simulation of ultrasonic inspection of austenitic welds modeled as transversely isotropic. Fundamental wave processes, such as propagation, reflection, refraction, and diffraction of ultrasonic waves in such an inspection are simulated using the MSLM. All numerical results show excellent agreement with the analytical results. Further, a simplified model of austenitic weld inspection has been successfully simulated using the MSLM. In conclusion, a great potential of the MSLM in numerically simulating ultrasonic inspections of austenitic welds has been manifested in this work, though significant further efforts will be required to develop a model with field practicality.

The cutting mechanism of ultrasonic vibration machining is characterized as two phases, that is, an impact at the cutting edge and a reduction of cutting force due to non-contact interval between tool and workpiece. In this paper, in order to identify cutting dynamics of a system with ultrasonically vibrated cutting tool, an ARMA modeling is performed on experimental cutting force signals which have a dominant effect on cutting dynamics. The aim of this study is, through Dynamic Date System methodology, to find the inherent characteristics of an ultrasonic vibration cutting process by considering natural frequency and damping coefficient. Surface roughness and stability of cutting process under ultrasonic vibration are also considered

초음파 속도를 이용한 콘크리트의 건전성 및 강도평가는 오랫동안 사용되어 왔으며, 현장조사에서 필수적이다. 콘크리트 내부의 공극률은 내구성 및 강도를 평가할 수 있는 주요인자이며, 초음파 진행에 방해가 되므로 공극률 변화에 따라 초음파 속도변화가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 공극률 모델을 이용하여 콘크리트 내부를 통과하는 초음파 속도 모델링을 수행하였으며 실험값과의 비교하였다. 또한 인장 및 압축 재하 시험과 동시에 초음파 속도를 측정하여 재하 하중비를 이용한 모델링을 수행하였다. 압축영역에서는 하중재하비 50% 수준까지 초음파 속도가 약간 증가하였으며, 최대하중에 근접할수록 급격한 속도의 감소가 발생하였다. 인장영역에서는 압축영역과 다르게 초기부터 초음파 속도가 상당히 변화하였다. 제안된 기법은 콘크리트의 건전부 및 압축영역에서는 합리적인 결과를 보이고 있으며 인장영역에서는 미세균열 및 국소적인 골재치합을 고려한 보완이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, finite element modeling of the laser ultrasonics (LU) process in ablation regime is of interest. The momentum resulting from the removal of material from the specimen surface by the laser beam radiation in ablation regime is modeled as a pressure pulse. To model this pressure pulse, two equations are required: one for the spatial distribution and one for the temporal distribution of the pulse. Previous researchers have proposed various equations for the spatial and temporal distributions of the pressure pulse in different laser applications. All available equations are examined and the best combination of the temporal and spatial distributions of the pressure pulse that provides the most accurate results is identified. This combination of temporal and spatial distributions has never been used for modeling laser ultrasonics before. Then by using this new model, the effects of variations in pulse duration and laser spot radius on the shape, amplitude, and frequency spectrum of ultrasonic waves are studied. Furthermore, the LU in thermoelastic regime is simulated by this model and compared with LU in ablation regime. The interaction of ultrasonic waves with a defect is also investigated in the LU process in ablation regime. Good agreement of the results obtained from the new finite element model and available experimental data confirms the accuracy of the proposed model.

기존 교통정보 수집시스템의 낮은 확장성과 높은 비용 등의 문제를 해결하기 위해 WSN 기반의 교통정보 수집 시스템이 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. WSN 기반 시스템은 기존 시스템에 비해 높은 확장성과 낮은 유지보수 비용을 가지는 장점이 있다. 최근에는 자기장센서, 가속도센서, 음향센서 등 다양한 센서를 이용하여 WSN 기반 교통정보수집 시스템 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 초음파센서를 이용한 WSN 기반 시스템은 아직 연구가 부족한 실정이다. WSN 기반 시스템은 배터리 동작, 낮은 컴퓨팅 파워와 같은 고유 특징으로 인해 에너지절약과 알고리즘의 경량화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 상세 모델링과 분석을 통해 도로환경에 따른 초음파 센서의 이상적인 에너지절약 방법을 제시한다. 또한 초음파 데이터를 이용한 차량인식 알고리즘의 경량화를 위한 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 초소형 마이크로프로세서에 실제 구현되었으며 성능평가를 통해 높은 차량인식 정확성을 보임을 확인하였다.

The ability of time reversal techniques to focus ultrasonic beams on the source location is important in many aspects of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. In this paper, we investigate the time reversal beam focusing of ultrasonic array sensors on a defect in layered media. Numerical modeling is performed using the commercially available software which employs a time domain finite difference method. Two different time reversal approaches are considered - the through transmission and the pulse-echo. Linear array sensors composed of N elements of line sources are used for signal reception/excitation, time reversal, and reemission in time reversal processes associated with the scattering source of a side-drilled hole located in the second layer of two layer structure. The simulation results demonstrate the time reversal focusing even with multiple reflections from the interface of layered structure. We examine the focusing resolution that is related to the propagation distance, the size of array sensor and the wavelength.

It will be shown how models can simulate all the elements of an ultrasonic NDE measurement system, including the pulser/receiver, cabling, transducer(s), and the acoustic/elastic waves fields. When combined, these models form what is called the electroacoustic measurement model. It will be demonstrated how this electroacoustic measurement model can be used to conduct parametric transducer and system studies and how the model can form the basis for experimentally characterizing all the elements of the ultrasonic measurement system, using purely electrical measurements.

As an attempt to further improve the reliability and effectiveness of ultrasonic testing (UT), a two-dimensional numerical simulator of UT was developed. The simulator models the wave medium (or test object) using the mass-spring lattice model (MSLM) that consists of mass-points and springs. Some previous simulation results, obtained by using MSLM, are briefly reviewed in this paper, for propagation, reflection, and scattering of ultrasonic waves. Next, the models of transmitting and receiving piezoelectric transducers are introduced with some numerical results, which is a main focus of this paper. The UT simulator, established by combining the transducer models with the MSLM, was used to simulate many UT setups. In this paper, two simple setups are considered as examples, and their simulated A-scan signals are discussed. The potential of the MSLM, transducer models, and the UT simulator developed in this study to be used in the actual UT is confirmed.
