Transforming small ultrasonic energy into large mechanical energy is the essential feature of ultrasonic vibration in various application fields. This energy amplification can be obtained by achieving resonance condition between booster or tool horn and transducer. When it has uniform section with small sectional area, one dimensional analysis provides good estimation of the natural frequency of the horn. But, for arbitrary shape of horn, one dimensional analysis can no longer be applied. At present, designing tool horn whose natural frequency is identical to that of transducer requires serveral stages of trial and error in actual manufacturing process. In this paper, frequency analysis program is developed to easily predict the natural frequency of ultrasonic vibration cutting tool with axisymmetry and 3- dimensional shape using finite element method.

The potential use of ultrasonic technique for firmness measurement of apples was evaluated. Mechanical properties(bioyield deformation, bioyield strength, rupture deformation, ultimate strength, and elastic modulus) and ultrasonic parameters (ultrasonic velocity, attenuation coefficient and the first peak frequency) of the apple flesh during the storage time were measured and analyzed. Ultrasonic parameters were determined from the measurement of ultrasonic wave transmission through the apple flesh specimen. Mechanical properties were obtained by universal testing machine. The bioyield strength, rupture strength, elastic modulus, ultrasonic velocity, and the first peak frequency of the apple flesh decreased with the storage time. The bioyield deformation, rupture deformation, and ultrasonic attenuation coefficient increased with the storage time. The correlation analysis between ultrasonic parameters and mechanical properties and the storage time was performed. The high correlations were found between the storage time and the ultrasonic parameters, and these relationships seem to be useful for determining the firmness of the apple flesh.

초음파탐상법을 이용하여 마이크로미터의 크기 작은 결함을 검출하기 위해서는 높은 공진주파수와 큰 분해능의 초음파 변환기가 필요하다. 초음파 변환기의 공진주파수와 분해능은 변환기에 사용된 압전소자의 두께, 후면재 및 탐상 시스템 간의 전기 임피던스 정합과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 이 중 전기 임피던스 매칭은 초음파 변환기와 초음파탐상 시스템 사이의 서로 다른 입 출력단을 연결하는 과정에서, 두 연결단의 전기적 임피던스 차이에 의한 에너지 반사와 손실을 줄이는 중요한 역할을 한다. 임피던스 정합에서 흔히 많이 사용하는 방법은 LC-정합회로이다. 이러한 LC-정합을 통해 탐상 시스템과 초음파 변환기의 전기 임피던스를 $50{\Omega}$으로 맞추어 두 연결단 사이의 임피던스 차이를 보정해 줌으로서 초음파 변환기에서 발생되는 전기신호의 손실을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 15 MHz의 공진주파수를 가지는 광대역 수침형 초음파 탐촉자를 제작하고 광대역 특성을 갖는 초음파 변환기를 위한 LC 임피던스 정합법을 적용하였다.

Ultrasonic attenuation is an important parameter in Quantitative Ultrasound and many algorithms have been proposed to improve estimation accuracy and repeatability for multiple independent estimates. In this work, we propose an improved algorithm for estimating ultrasonic attenuation utilizing the optimal frequency compounding technique based on stochastic noise model. We formulate mathematical compounding equations in the AWGN channel model and solve optimization problems to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio for multiple frequency components. Individual estimates are calculated by the reference phantom method which provides very stable results in uniformly attenuating regions. We also propose the guideline to select frequency ranges of reflected RF signals. Simulation results using numerical phantoms show that the proposed optimal frequency compounding method provides improved accuracy while minimizing estimation bias. The estimation variance is reduced by only 16% for the un-compounding case, whereas it is reduced by 68% for the uniformly compounding case. The frequency range corresponding to the half-power for reflected signals also provides robust and efficient estimation performance.

In recent years, ultrasonic has been widely applied in measurement and industrial fields and its application range has been expanded as a result of continuous research and development. Wire Bonding Machine, an instrument fabricating semi-conductor, makes use of ultrasonic bonding method. In order to improve the currently used wire bonding machine using ultrasonic energy, technical accumulation is needed steadily through development of exciting device of ultrasonic composed of piezoelectic vibrator and horn. This study investigates the design conditions affecting the dynamic characteristics through the theoretical and experimental analysis of piezoelectric vibrator and horn, The study conducts separately the system identification of piezoelectric vibrator in time domain and the modal analysis of horn in frequency domain. In theoretical model, the integrated modeling is conducted via a combination of dynamic identification of piezoelectric vibrator and theoretical analysis of horn. Hence comparison is made for theoretical and experimental results of the dynamic characteristics of the ultrasonic transducer composed of piezoelectric vibrator and horn. Form the results of this study we develop the design technique of ultrasonic transducer using dynamic characteristic analysis and propose the possibility of ultrasonic welding considering the optimal condition of the natural frequency and vibration mode of horn.

최근 출시되고 있는 PAN 용 통신부품으로 Bluetooth와 Zigbee가 선호되고 있으나 가전제품을 비롯하여 오디오기기, 휴대폰, PC 등에서 비교적 저속으로 단순한 메시지를 전달하는데 있어서 이러한 통신부품을 장착하기에는 다소 부담스럽고 제품이 복잡해진다. 본 논문에서는 제품에 이미 장착되어 있는 스피커와 마이크를 이용하여 가청한계 대역에서 초음파를 이용한 무선 통신 방법을 제안한다. 오디오 신호에 영향을 주지 않고 데이터 전송을 가능하게 하기 위하여 가청 한계 대역에서 ASK와 FSK 송수신 방식을 제시하고, 초음파 통신 모뎀을 설계 및 구현한다. 구현된 통신 모뎀은 배경 잡음이 있는 환경에서 실험을 통해 제안한 초음파 통신 모뎀의 성능을 검증한다.

Ultrasonic signals transmitted through adhesively bonded plates were used to evaluate parameters related to attenuation and frequency in the adhesively bonded joint. The kinds of bonding materials with a different bonding thickness of constant pressure were used. And ultrasonic diagnosis was evaluated by p-wave sensor of 10MHz. FFT has been performed to determine bond-layer parameters such as effective thickness and frequency for adhesively bonded joint of A16061 plates in comparison with measured to theoretical ratios. When variable thickness exists, the ultrasonic spectrum was changed the frequency wave. The more materials thickness and the higher the frequency, the larger shift was observed. Measured ratios for cases of bond thickness and variety bonding materials are then used to determine bond parameters. The results show that the technique can be applied to the characterization of adhesively bonded joint.

In this paper, a simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information in three directions, that is, 90°, ＋45° and －45°about the inspection plane, is applied to the high strength steel, and the frequency analysis method for enhancing the C scan or CT image is developed. This frequency analysis method is based on the frequency response property of the material. By comparing the magnitudes in the frequency domain, the special frequency which shows a significant difference between the welded joint and base material was found and used to obtain a C scan or CT image. Experimental results for several kinds of specimens, having a welded joint by electron beam welding, a weld joint by arc welding, on a fatigue crack, showed that the obtained C scan or CT image has better resolution than the results of previous experiments using the maximum value of the received waveform.
