Ultrasonic infrared thermography is an active thermography methods. In this method, mechanical energy is introduced to a structure, it is converted into heat energy at the defects, and an infrared camera detects the heat for inspection. The heat generation mechanisms are dependent on many factors such as structure characteristics, defect type, excitation method and contact condition, which make it difficult to predict heat distribution in ultrasonic infrared thermography. In this paper, a method to simulate frictional heating, known to be one of the main heat generation mechanisms at the closed defects in metal structures, is proposed for ultrasonic infrared thermography. This method uses linear vibration analysis results without considering the contact boundary condition at the defect so that it is intuitive and simple to implement. Its advantages and disadvantages are also discussed. The simulation results show good agreement with the modal analysis and experiment result.

It is well-known that the defects (existing in structures) and the material degradation(caused by the fatigue load) generally initiate the failure of structures. The NDE such as ultrasonic technique which can be used to detect the size and the orientation of defects has been utilized to estimate the life and stability of structures. However, only few experimental reports made by using the ultrasonic technique have been published for the case of fatigue estimation of materials and structures. The purpose of this study is, thus, to derive the relationship between ultrasonic attenuation and fatigue behavior of Polycarbonate and PMMA through ultrasonic characterization. It is also attempted to offer NDE experimental procedure which may be useful to predict fatigue life.

The density and strength of wood is affected by degradations and defects, such as voids and knots. Old wooden structures such as traditional cultural properties have been deteriorated by these types of defects. They were evaluated by a visual observation that is difficult to evaluate the inner deterioration in structures. In this study, three nondestructive testing techniques were investigated to detect the wooden structural members. Ultrasonic stress wave tests, drilling resistance tests and visual inspections were used to examine the structural wood members. Patterns of Resistograph using by drilling resistance tests could indicate the features of internal wood such as voids, knots, decay, fungi, and so on. The technique just like as ultrasonic stress wave tests, however, difficult to detect exactly area where small amounts of internal deterioration in logs are. In spite of results of ultrasonic stress wave test, the internal deterioration of wooden structural members could be evaluated by the relationship between ultrasonic stress wave tests and drilling resistance tests.

발전설비의 열교환기는 대형 헤더에 다수의 튜브가 용접된 구조로 협소한 튜브간격으로 인하여 안전성 확보와 수명진단을 위한 비파괴검사에 많은 제약을 받는다. 특히 일부의 헤더 용접부는 부분 용입형 용접구조로 이루어져 있어, 루트부에 용입부족 결함이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 용입부족 부분은 구조물의 형상과 결함을 구분하여 판정하기 어렵기 때문에 이를 검출할 수 있는 검사방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 헤더와 튜브로 이루어진 열교환기 부분 용입형 용접부에서 발생하는 용입부족 결함과, 용접비드 내의 결함을 검출 하고자 초음파검사 기법을 이용한 자동검사시스템을 개발하였고 이 시스템을 이용하여 용접부의 결함을 효과적으로 검출할 수 있었다.

비파괴검사중의 하나인 초음파 탐상검사는 교량, 발전설비 및 석유화학플랜트 등의 각종 다양한 구조물들의 안전성 확보를 위한 내부결함 및 손상평가를 위하여 일반적으로 폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 초음파를 이용한 데 파괴 평가 기술은 각종 구조물에 존재하는 내부결함에 의한 산란신호를 통해 건전성을 평가하는 기법이므로 결함의 신뢰성 녹은 정량적 평가를 위해서는 결함으로부터의 초음파 산란산호특성에 대한 기본적 이해가 필수적이며 따라서 이를 위한 모델링 수치해석 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 동탄성 경계요소법을 이용하여 무한체내에 존재하는 다중기공 결함에 의한 초음파 수평횡파의 근거리 산란특성에 대하여 결함의 형상과 결함사이의 상호작용을 고려하여 해석하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과들은 결함검출 민감도의 개선 및 역변환 해석에 의한 정량적 비파괴 평가에 큰 도움을 줄 수 있다.

The firmness of fruit is one of the most important quality factors and is highly correlated to the elastic modulus. In this study, the ultrasonic transmission method was applied to evaluate the elastic modulus of the apple. In order to transmit and receive the ultrasonic wave through the whole apple, the ultrasonic measurement setup consisted of ultrasonic pulser, two specially fabricated ultrasonic transducers for fruit and digital storage oscilloscope. Ultrasonic parameters such as ultrasonic wave velocity, apparent attenuation, and peak frequencies were analyzed. The elastic modulus of apple was measured by using compression test apparatus. The correlations between ultrasonic parameters and elastic modulus were analyzed. A multiple linear regression model describing the relationship between elastic modulus and ultrasonic parameters was proposed.

The amplitude of a back-wall echo depends on the reflection coefficient of the interface between a transducer and a test material when using contact pulse-echo ultrasonic testing. A couplant is used to transmit ultrasonic energy across the interface, but has an influence on the amplitude of the pulse-echo signal. To investigate the couplant effect on pulse-echo ultrasonic testing, back-wall echoes are measured by using various couplants made of water and glycerine in a carbon and austenitic stainless steel specimens. The amplitude of the first back-wall echo and the apparent attenuation coefficient increases with the acoustic impedance of the couplant. The couplant having a higher value of the transmission coefficient is more effective for flaw detection. The reflection coefficient should be known in order to measure the attenuation coefficient of the test material.

위상배열 기술에 기반을 둔 통상의 초음파검사에서처럼, 자왜형 원거리 초음파검사에서도 실시간 수신신호 처리를 위해 복잡한 전자회로들을 사용하여왔다. 본 연구는 위상 보상, 노이즈 필터링, 파형 변환 등과 같은 필수적인 작업들을 기존의 하드웨어 접근보다는 소프트웨어 접근을 이용하여 수행할 때, 보다 유연하고 효율적인 실시간 신호처리가 가능해진다는 것을 보여준다. 이는 비용효율적인 원거리 초음파검사 시스템 구축과 검사 결과 분석에 기여할 것이다.

This work is aimed to explore a possibility of using the generalized Lamb waves for nondestructive evaluation of the bonding quality of layered substrates. For this purpose, we prepared two sets of specimens with imperfect bonding at their interfaces; 1) TiN-coated specimens with various wear conditions, and 2) CVD diamond specimens with various cleaning conditions. A dispersion simulation performed for layered substrates with imperfect interfaces are carried out to get the characteristics of dispersion curves that can be used for bonding quality evaluation. Then the characteristics of dispersion curves of the fabricated specimens are experimentally determined by use of an ultrasonic backward radiation measurement technique. The results obtained in the present study show that the lowest velocity mode (Rayleigh-like) of the generalized Lamb waves are sensitively affected by the bonding quality. Therefore, the generalized Lamb waves can be applied for nondestructive evaluation of imperfect bonding quality in various layered substrates.
