Generally, the system of calculation for the multi-path ultrasonic flow meters can be divided into two methods by how to get the mean velocity, namely, weighting and direct method. Weighting-method derive the mean velocity through modeling in theoretical velocity profile. Direct-method derive the mean velocity though actual flow distribution. The system of calculation varies with maker's transducer configuration and integration method. Each system has merits and demerits. This paper describes the system of integration that calculates line velocity over cross-section of the circular pipe. Flow rate mr discussed in this paper is a difference between theoretical flow rate and integrated flow rate according to values of Reynolds number in symmetric flow field or theoretical flow rate and integrated flow rate according to rotated model in asymmetric flow field.

제철공정에서 발생하는 열악한 환경의 가스를 계측하기 위해서 개발한 초음파 가스 유량계와 현장 적용 결과에 대해서 기술한다. 개발된 초음파 유량계는 제철공정에 생산되는 부생가스인 LDG, COG, BFG 등의 활용에 적합하도록 개발했다. 그리고 본 초음파 유량계는 초음파 전달시간차 방식을 채택하고 있다. 전달 시간차 방식의 초음파 유량계를 구현하기 위한 초음파 신호의 송수신 알고리즘 및 초음파 신호처리 알고리즘을 개발했다. 유량계의 성능을 검증하기 위해서 대용량 유량 검 교정 장치를 자체 제작하여 유량계 검 교정 실험을 행했고 Venturi Type의 기준유량계와 비교실험을 통해서 측정오차를 평가했다. 실제 제철공정에 1년 이상의 적용 테스터를 통해 초음파 유량계의 신뢰성을 확인했으며 현재 상업화 모델이 개발되어 현장에서 활용 중에 있다.

가장 널리 이용되고 있는 대표적인 비파괴 평가 기술들 중의 하나인 초음파 응용 기술은 각종 구조물에 존재하는 내부결함에 의한 산란신호를 통해 건전성을 평가하는 기법이므로 결함의 신뢰성 높은 정량적 평가를 위해서는 결함으로부터의 초음파 산란신호특성에 대한 기본적 이해가 필수적이며 따라서 이를 위한 모델링 수치해석 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 동탄성 경계요소법을 이용하여 무한체 내부에 존재하는 기공 결함에 의한 초음파 수평횡파의 근거리 및 원거리 산란특성에 대하여 결함으로부터의 거리 영향을 고려하여 해석하였다. 이때 경계요소해석으로 구한 주파수 영역의 원거리 산란장을 실제 결함 탐상시 관찰할 수 있는 시간영역의 신호로 나타내기 위하여 IFFT처리를 하였다. IFFT처리하여 얻은 파형으로부터 원형 기공결함과의 거리가 증가할수록 진폭은 감소하고 시간지연이 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

The ultrasonic hyperthermia for oncology has been developed and studied. The HIFU(high intensity focused ultrasound) is the most recent method to treat the tumor by using ultrasound. In this study, an insertion-type transducer for treating a prostate cancer, which can focus the ultrasonic beam mechanically and electrically, was designed and developed. The developed transducer was composed of three arrays, and each array has 32 elements. For the purpose of the mechanical focusing, both side arrays are slanted to the center array by $15^{\circ}$. With this structure, NFL(near field length) was set up as 30 mm. The PZT-4 and two matching layers were used, and the backing layer was excepted to prevent energy losses. The acoustic field analysis and the heating test were performed to evaluate the performance of developed transducer. The shape of an acoustic field, peak pressure, and acoustic pressure distribution were compared with numerical simulation. The NFL was 32 mm, the beam width was 5 mm, focal area was $40\;mm^2$, and peak pressure was 5.5 MPa. With heating by using developed transducer, the temperature increased up to $33^{\circ}C$ at focal zone. As a result of this study, the usefulness of suggested transducer for prostate cancer hyperthermia was confirmed by the acoustic field analysis and the heating test with TMM(tissue mimicking) phantom.

Ultrasonic propagation imaging (UPI) has shown great potential for detection of impairments in complex structures and can be used in wide range of non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring applications. The software implementation of such algorithms showed a tendency in time-consumption with increment in scan area because the processor shares its resources with a number of programs running at the same time. This issue was addressed by using field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) that is a dedicated processing solution and used for high speed signal processing algorithms. For this purpose, we need an independent and flexible block of logic which can be used with continuously evolvable hardware based on FPGA. In this paper, we developed an FPGA-based ultrasonic propagation imaging system, where FPGA functions for both data acquisition system and real-time ultrasonic signal processing. The developed UPI system using FPGA board provides better cost-effectiveness and resolution than digitizers, and much faster signal processing time than CPU which was tested using basic ultrasonic propagation algorithms such as ultrasonic wave propagation imaging and multi-directional adjacent wave subtraction. Finally, a comparison of results for processing time between a CPU-based UPI system and the novel FPGA-based system were presented to justify the objective of this research.
