In this paper, we present a new method to diagnose the characteristics of the soft tissue, especially a liver. In order to diagnose the characteristics of a liver, it is necessary to evaluate the propagation delay time and propagation velocity of bending vibration In a liver. For this purpose, we measure the propagation velocity of bending vibration in a liver for low frequency forced vibration using a standard ultrasonic Doppler diagnosis equipment. We have carried out preliminary experiments by using an ultrasonic probe of 3.5MHz and obtained some results. This new measurement method developed here can be applied to new research and medical fields for acoustic non-invasive diagnosis of soft tissue.

In this study, the effect of flow disturbance such as contraction, expansion pipe and velocity deviation from low velocity of $0.1\;^m/s$ to $2.5\;^m/s$ on the error characteristics of the flowmeter was studied. Flow experiments using flowmeter calibration facility of K-water were undertaken for the cases of ultrasonic flowmeter based on transit-time method and electromagnetic flowmeter. Experimental results are presented that measurement error of expansion pipe are larger than contraction pipe. It is shown that the minimum straight length were required to remain of ${\pm}0.5%$ error for electromagnetic flowmeter and ${\pm}2.0%$ error for ultrasonic flowmeter.

High temperature and pressure materials in power plant are degraded by creep damage, if they are exposed to constant loads for long times, which occurs in the load bearing structures of pressurized components operating at elevated temperatures. Many conventional measurement techniques such as replica method, electric resistance method, and hardness test method for measuring creep damage have been used. So far, the replica method is mainly used for the Inspection of High temperature and pressure components. This technique is, however, restricted to applications at the surface of the testpieces and cannot be used to material inside. In this paper, ultrasonic evaluation for the detection of creep damage in the form of cavaties on grain boundaries or integranular microcracks are carried out. And the absolute measuring method of quantitative ultrasonic velocity technique for Cr-Mo material degradation is analyzed. As a result of ultrasonic tests for crept specimens, we find that the sound velocity is decreased as the increase of creep life fraction$({\Phi}_c)$ and also, confirmed that hardness is decreased as the increase of creep life fraction$({\Phi}_c)$ but the coefficient of ultrasonic attenuation is increased as the increase of creep life fraction$({\Phi}_c)$. Finally based on the result in this paper, it can be recognized that the ultrasonic techniques using velocities and attenuation coefficient factor are very useful non-destructive methods to evaluate the degree of material degradation in fossile power plants.

Various types of ultrasonic techniques have been used for the estimation of compressive strength of concrete structures. However, conventional ultrasonic velocity method using only longitudial wave cannot be determined the compressive strength of concrete structures with accuracy. In this paper, by using the introduction of multiple parameter, e. g. velocity of shear wave, velocity of longitudinal wave, attenuation coefficient of shear wave, attenuation coefficient of longitudinal wave, combination condition, age and preservation method, multiple regression analysis method was applied to the determination of compressive strength of concrete structures. The experimental results show that velocity of shear wave can be estimated compressive strength of concrete with more accuracy compared with the velocity of longitudinal wave, accuracy of estimated error range of compressive strength of concrete structures can be enhanced within the range of ${\pm}$10% approximately.

Development on non-destructive testing methods were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of crack repair for test beams induced a crack. Cracked beams are repaired with expoxy and microcement, and then they are tested by two methods, the ultrasonic pulse velocity method and the transfer function method. It is proved that the ultrasonic pulse velocity method is very valid for the evaluation of the effectiveness on expoxy repair, and the transfer function method is very applicable to evaluate the effectiveness on microcement repair.

The elastic modulus of a 3D-printed Kelvin foam plate is investigated by measuring the acoustic wave velocity of 1 MHz ultrasound. An isotropic tetrakaidecahedron foam with 3 mm unit cell is designed and printed layer upon layer to fabricate a Kelvin foam plate of 14 mm thickness with a 3D CAD/printer using ABS plastic. The Kelvin foam plate is completely filled with paraffin wax for impedance matching, so that the acoustic wave may propagate through the porous foam plate. The acoustic wave velocity of the foam plate is measured using the time-of-flight (TOF) method and is used to calculate the elastic modulus of the Kelvin foam plate based on acousto-elasticity. Finite element method (FEM) and micromechanics is applied to the Kelvin foam plate to calculate the theoretical elastic modulus using a non-isotropic tetrakaidecahedron model. The predicted elastic modulus of the Kelvin foam plate from FEM and micromechanics model is similar, which is only 3-4% of the bulk material. The experimental value of the elastic modulus from the ultrasonic method is approximately twice as that of the numerical and theoretical methods because of the flexural deformation of the cell edges neglected in the ultrasonic method.

회곽묘는 조선시대의 대표적인 묘제로서 당시 사회와 장례문화 이해에 중요한 자료이다. 궁리유적에서 발굴한 회곽묘를 제작방식에 따라 분류하여 초음파속도와 반발경도 측정을 통해 물성을 평가하였다. 층벽식으로 제작한 회곽묘의 강도는 측정방법에 따라 차이가 있다. 초음파속도와 반발경도를 통해 산출한 층벽식 회곽묘의 압축강도는 각각 4.0~355(평균 43.6) $kgf/cm^2$ 및 18.8~538(평균 245.2) $kgf/cm^2$의 범위를 보였다. 이 회곽묘는 발굴과 이장과정에서 벽체에 충격이 발생한 상태로, 벽체의 고유물성에 비해 낮은 초음파속도가 산출된 것으로 보인다. 반면 통벽식으로 제작한 회곽묘의 압축강도는 초음파속도 및 반발경도 측정방법에 따라 각각 5.7~793(평균 281.6) $kgf/cm^2$와 4.5~551(평균 172.4) $kgf/cm^2$로 나타났다. 이처럼 압축강도 값의 차이는 있지만 경향성이 유사한 것으로 보아, 초음파속도와 반발경도 측정을 통한 물성평가는 통벽식 회곽묘에서 더욱 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 측정면적이 작은 반발경도법이 초음파법보다 더욱 일정한 강도를 보였다.

In this paper, the location measurement method for the reliable location data using ultrasonic sensors is proposed for the dimming control of the LED flat lamp. The measurement errors depending on the reflection angle of the object have to be considered to obtain the reliable location data in the ultrasonic sensors. In the experiment, the cause of the measurement errors depending on reflection angle is analyzed and velocity change of ultrasonic wave depending on reflection angle is measured. And the location measurement method depending on velocity change of ultrasonic wave is proposed. From the results, the average absolute deviation of the x-coordinates was 1.47cm when the location measurement method was considered, and it was closer to the true values than the average absolute deviation of the x-coordinates which was 5.89cm without regard to the reflection angle.

Boiler high-temperature pipelines such as main steam pipe, header and steam drum in fossil power plants are degraded by creep damage due to severe operationg conditions which are high temperature and high pressure for an extended period time. Such material degradation leads to various component failures causing serious accidents at the plants. Conventional measurement techniques such as replica method, electric resistance method, and hardness test method have such disadvantages as complex preparation and measurement procedures, too many control parameters, and therefore, low practicality and they were applied only to component surfaces with good accessibility. In this paper, artificial creep degradation test and ultrasonic measurement for their creep degraded specimens have been carried out for the purpose of evaluation for creep damage which can occur in high-temperature pipeline of fossil power plant. Absolute measuring method of quantitative ultrasonic measurement for material degradation was established, and long term creep degradationtests using life prediction formula were carried out. As a result of ultrasonic tests for crept specimens, we confirmed that the sound velocity decreased and the attenuation coefficient linearly increased in proportion to the increase of creep fractiin(${\phi}$c).
