The Diagnostic applications of Ultrasound are developed in many ways. In this paper, We measure the attenuation coeffient of biological tissue using DSP. This method is useful in tissue characterization with real time. In the future, We expect that this method coupling with the ultrasonic temperature dependence of biological tissue also is applied to hyperthermia.

ZnO films were deposited on MgO substrates (ZnO/MgO) by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Substrate temperature varied from $250^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the ZnO/MgO films were studied by X ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The properties of photoluminescence (PL) for the films were investigated by dependence of PL spectra on the substrate temperature and the annealing temperature. The ZnO/MgO films prepared at $350^{\circ}C$ showed the strongest UV emission peak at 18 K and 300 K among the films in this study.

The aim of this work was to reveal the effect of butanoic acid in its dissociated form and undissociated form as a guest molecule on the kinetic parameters in an inclusion reaction with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD). Ultrasonic absorption measurements in the frequency range from 0.2 to 45 MHz were carried out for ${\beta}$-CD solutions with butanoic acid at $25^{\circ}C$ by ultrasonic relaxation method. The rate and the equilibrium constants were obtained from the guest concentration dependence of the relaxation frequency, and the standard volume change of the complexation reaction were obtained from the maximum absorption per wavelength. A single relaxational absorption was observed, and the cause of the relaxation was attributed to a perturbation of the chemical equilibrium associated with a complexation reaction between ${\beta}$-CD and butanoic acid. These results were compared with those in solutions containing both ${\beta}$-CD and different guest molecules. It was found that the hydrophobicity of guest molecules played an important role in the formation of the inclusion complex and also that the charge on the carboxylic group had a considerable effect on the kinetic characteristics of the complexation reaction.

Refractive index and speeds of sound for the binary mixture of isomer of butanol (1) + cyclohexane, benzene and toluene (2) were measured at 308.15 K. The measured data were used to calculate deviation in refractive index ${\Delta}n$, ultrasonic speed ${\Delta}u$, isentropic compressibility $K_s^E$, available volume $V_a$, excess intermolecular free length $L_f$ and molecular association $M_A$. All the derived properties were correlated with polynomial equation. Ultrasonic speed data were predicted using various empirical correlations like Nomoto, van Dael, impedance dependence and theoretically with Schaaff's collision factor theory (CFT). Jacobson free length theory (FLT) was used to calculate $L_f$. The measured refractive index was also correlated with various mixing rules. The deviation in refractive index Δn and ultrasonic speed ${\Delta}u$ was used to determine the intermolecular interactions.

Magnetostrictive materials have been used for linear actuators due to its large strain, large force output with moderate frequency band in the presence of magnetic field. However their performance analysis is difficult because of nonlinear material behaviors in terms of coupled strain-magnetic field dependence, nonlinear permeability, pre-stress dependence and hysteresis. This paper presents a finite element analysis technique for magnetostrictive linear actuator. To deal with coupled problems and nonlinear behaviors, a simple finite element approach is proposed, which is based on separate magnetic field calculation and displacement simulation. The finite element formulation and an in-house program development are illustrated, and a simulation model is made for a magnetostrictive linear actuator. The fabrication and performance test of the linear actuator are explained, and the performance comparison with simulation result is shown. Since this approach is simple, it can be applied for analyzing magnetostrictive underwater projectors and ultrasonic transducers.

30 ㎑의 초음파 (ultrasonic wave)의 미세 진동에 의해서 유도된 음향유동 (acoustic streaming)에 의한 공기대류를 이용한 새로운 냉각방법을 소개한다. 초음파 진동은 압전소자 (piezoelectric device)에 의해서 얻어지며 50 m 정도의 진동진폭을 얻기 위해 기계적 진동 증폭자인 혼 (horn)을 추가하여 전체 진동 시스템이 공진하도록 구성된다. 음향유동에 의한 열전달 효과의 상승을 측정하기 위해 열원 (heat source) 및 열원 주위의 대기의 온도변화를 실시간으로 측정하였다. 초음파 진동 시작 후 시간지연 없이 음향유동이 유도되어 진동자 주위의 대량의 공기유동으로 인한 급격한 온도감소가 관찰되었다. 또한 열원과 진동자와의 거리가 방사 (radiation)되는 음파 (sound wave)의 반파장 (half wave length)의 정배수가 될 때 열원의 냉각효과가 극대화됨을 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 이는 음파의 공진현상에 기인한 것으로 이론적 고찰을 통한 검증 또한 수행되었다. 음향유동을 이용한 냉각법의 장점은 초음파 진동을 이용하기 때문에 무소음이며 이동 형태의 부품이 없기 때문에 반영구적으로 사용할 수 있다. 또한 기존의 전기모터를 이용한 냉각팬 (cooling fan)으로는 냉각이 어려운 초소형 기전시스템 (MEMS)의 냉각법으로 사용될 수 있는 첨단 냉각방법이다.

Despite proven effectiveness and accuracy in laboratories, the existing damage assessment based on guided ultrasonic waves (GUWs) or acoustic emission (AE) confronts challenges when extended to real-world structural health monitoring (SHM) for railway tracks. Central to the concerns are the extremely complex signal appearance due to highly dispersive and multimodal wave features, restriction on transducer installations, and severe contaminations of ambient noise. It remains a critical yet unsolved problem along with recent attempts to implement SHM in bourgeoning high-speed railway (HSR). By leveraging authors' continued endeavours, an SHM framework, based on actively generated diffuse ultrasonic waves (DUWs) and a benchmark-free condition contrast algorithm, has been developed and deployed via an all-in-one SHM system. Miniaturized lead zirconate titanate (PZT) wafers are utilized to generate and acquire DUWs in long-range railway tracks. Fatigue cracks in the tracks show unique contact behaviours under different conditions of external loads and further disturb DUW propagation. By contrast DUW propagation traits, fatigue cracks in railway tracks can be characterised quantitatively and the holistic health status of the tracks can be evaluated in a real-time manner. Compared with GUW- or AE-based methods, the DUW-driven inspection philosophy exhibits immunity to ambient noise and measurement uncertainty, less dependence on baseline signals, use of significantly reduced number of transducers, and high robustness in atrocious engineering conditions. Conformance tests are performed on HSR tracks, in which the evolution of fatigue damage is monitored continuously and quantitatively, demonstrating effectiveness, adaptability, reliability and robustness of DUW-driven SHM towards HSR applications.

PVDF[poly(vinylidene fluoride)] 압전소자로 제작된 초음파 변환기를 이용하여 초음파 spectroscopy 측정시스템을 제작하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 MBBA(p-methoxy benzylidene-p-n-butylaniline) 액정의 nematic-isotropic 상전이 현상을 관측한 결과 상전이 온도가 $47^{\circ}C$임을 확인하였으며, 기존의 광학적 방법에 의해 관측된 값과 잘 일치하였다. 한편으로 상전이 점의 주파수 의존성을 확인하였으나 이는 관측되지 않았으며, 단지 PVDF 압전소자의 공진주파수인 2 MHz에서 초음파의 진폭이 최대로 나타났으며, 다른 주파수에서는 진폭이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 온도의 변화에 따른 액정의 상전이 현상을 초음파 감쇠의 변화로 확인하여 보았다. 이것은 액정의 상전이 메카니즘을 해석함에 있어 PVDF 초음파 변환기를 이용한 spectroscopy 측정 시스템은 매우 유용한 도구로 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 의료용으로 이용할 경우 겸상세포 빈혈증이나 동맥 경화증과 같은 질병 진단에 이용 가능하리라 여겨진다.

The stress dependence of ultrasonic wave velocity is known as the acoustoelastic effect. This effect is useful for stress monitoring if the acoustoelastic coefficient of a subject medium is known. The acoustoelastic coefficients of metallic materials such as steel have been studied widely. However, the acoustoelastic coefficient of concrete has not been well understood yet. Basic constituents of concrete are water, cement, and aggregates. The mix proportion of those constituents greatly affects many mechanical and physical properties of concrete and so does the acoustoelastic coefficient of concrete. In this study, influence of the water-cement ratio (w/c ratio) and the fine-coarse aggregates ratio (fa/ta ratio) on the acoustoelastic coefficient of concrete was investigated. The w/c and the fa/ta ratios are important parameters in mix design and affect wave behaviors in concrete. Load-controlled uni-axial compression tests were performed on concrete specimens. Ultrasonic wave measurements were also performed during the compression tests. The stretching coda wave interferometry method was used to obtain the relative velocity change of ultrasonic waves with respect to the stress level of the specimens. From the experimental results, it was found that the w/c ratio greatly affects the acoustoelastic coefficient while the fa/ta ratio does not. The acoustoelastic coefficient increased from $0.003073MPa^{-1}$ to $0.005553MPa^{-1}$ when the w/c ratio was increased from 0.4 to 0.5. On the other hand, the acoustoelastic coefficient changed in small from $0.003606MPa^{-1}$ to $0.003801MPa^{-1}$ when the fa/ta ratio was increased from 0.3 to 0.5. Finally, it was also found that the relative velocity change has a linear relationship with the stress level of concrete.

본 논문은 초음파 방사힘을 이용하여 음향파워를 측정하는 방법에 대한 이론적 모델을 세우고 이에 대한 이론적 결과를 다루었다. 이를 위해 Kirchhoff approximation 기반으로 강체원뿔표적에 대한 산란모델을 세우고 음향파워를 계산한 후 이를 방사힘으로 환산하였다. 이를 통해 원뿔표적을 사용하는 기존 방법의 정확성 및 측정 한계, 그리고 임의의 경사각의 원뿔표적으로도 측정할 수 있는 음향파워측정에 관한 확장된 이론을 제시하였다. 이를 이용하여 초음파 방사힘을 이용한 음향파워측정 방법의 주파수 및 표적 크기에 대한 의존도도 본 논문에서 제시하였다. 그 결과로 주파수 및 표적 크기를 고려하였을 때 국제표준규격(International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC)에서 제시하는 방법으로 계산한 음향파워값에 추가되어야 할 보정값을 산출하였다.
