In general, the braking system of high speed train has an important role for the safety of the train. To stop safely the train at its pre-decided position, it is necessary to combine properly the various brakes. Korean high speed train (HSR 350x) has adopted a combined electric and mechanic (friction) braking system. Electric brakes are consist of rheostatic brake, regenerative brake and eddy current brake and mechanical brakes are composed of disc brake, wheel disc brake and tread brake. In this paper, the measuring method that can take a measurement of the braking forces for disc brake and wheel disc brake has been suggested and we have verified that this method is valid through on-line test of HSR 350x.

Driving and pick-off using electromagnetic force for a cylindrical vibratory gyroscope is considered. A gyroscope consisting of thin cylindrical vibrating element and electromagnetic drive and pick-off element is designed, fabricated and tested. The results of the proposed pick-off method were compared with the results of the highly precise laser interferometer and eddy current sensor as it was used as the reference standard. Through the experiment, it is verified that the proposed electromagnetic driving and pick-off method can be an effective alternative to conventional electrostatic or piezo-electric methods.

In general, it is known that the wear rate of the abrasive and the removal rate of the metal bond of the grinding wheel should be balanced to maintain the depth of the insulating surface layer to an appropriate level. In order to accomplish, the high quality ELID grinding, therefore, it is necessary to measure the depth of the insulating layer in real-time and then to control the electrolytic conditions to keep the depth to a certain level. In this study, an in-process measurement system of the insulated layer using two gap sensors - a capacitor type and an eddy current type - developed and the change of the status of the insulated layer during ELID grinding is detected. And from the experimental data, we have chosen the best mathematical model to predict the depth of the insulating layer.

The usefulness of the magnetic camera for non-destructive testing of aging aircraft is discussed in this paper. The magnetic camera can be used f magnetic particle testing(MT), magnetic flux leakage testing(MFLT), eddy current testing(ECT) and penetration testing(PT). It measures the distribution of a magnetic field and visualizes the magnetic pattern. Near and far side cracks, fatigue, thickness degradation, and cracks under rivets have been detected. The possibility of quantitative evaluation was also examined. Using indirect experiments, we verified the detection ability of the sensor for cracks in titanium and advanced composite materials.

Since the sodium-cooled fast reactor is operated in a hostile environment due to the use of liquid sodium as its coolant, advanced techniques for in-service inspection are required to periodically verify the integrity of the reactor. This paper presents the development of in-service inspection techniques for Proto-type Generation IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor. First, the 10 m long plate-type ultrasonic waveguide sensor has been developed for in-service inspection of reactor internals, and its feasibility was verified through several under-water and under-sodium experiments. Second, the combined inspection system for in-service inspection of ferromagnetic steam generator tubes has been developed. The remote field eddy current testing and magnetic flux leakage testing can be conducted simultaneously by using the developed inspection system, and the detectability was demonstrated through several damage detection experiments. Finally, the electro-magnetic acoustic transducer which can withstand high temperature and be installable in the remote operated vehicle has been developed for in-service inspection of the reactor vessel, and its detectability was investigated through damage detection experiments.

This paper deals with the development and application of an inner corrosion detector for the ACSR(Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) power lines. The detector runs on an ACSR power line and inspects the inner corrosion of the conductor using the technology of the nondestructive eddy current test. It is consists of an ECT sensor, signal processing units, a RF transmitter/receiver, and etc.. The experimental result through field tests shows the detector can efficiently find both the zinc and aluminum loss of ACSR power lines.

Action Time이란 탄이 공이가 뇌관을 격발한 순간부터 총구를 이탈할 때까지의 걸리는 시간을 말한다. 40mm 고속유탄은 장전되면서 격발되는 구조이므로 Action Time이 특정 시간 이내여야 탄피 고착과 같은 악작용을 방지 할 수 있다. 기존 40mm 고속유탄의 Action Time 계측은 신뢰성 있는 측정 장비의 부재로, 그동안 Action Time이 K4기관총 품질 보증에 적용되는 것에 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 센서 간 비교와 별도의 발사 장치 고안을 통해 정확한 Action Time을 측정하고자 하였다. 이 장치에서는 공이 부분에 설치된 광센서의 신호와 총열 부분에 설치된 와전류 탐촉자 신호 간 간격이 계측되고, 실시간으로 컴퓨터로 데이터가 전송되게 된다. 계측된 Action Time 결과가 시스템 요구 성능에 충족하는지 여부를 즉시 확인함으로써 40mm 고속유탄의 품질 보증에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

Most of rotating machineries supported by contact bearing accompany lowering efficiency, vibration and wear. Moreover, because of vibration, which is occurred in rotating shaft, they have the limits of driving speed and precision. The rotor system has parametric variations or external disturbances such as mass unbalance variations in long operation. Therefore, it is necessary to research about magnetic bearing, which is able to support the shaft without mechanical contact and to control rotor vibration without being affected by external disturbances or parametric changes. Magnetic bearing system in the paper is composed of position sensor, digital controller, actuating amplifier and electromagnet. This paper applied the robust control method using quantitative feedback theory (QFT) to control the magnetic bearing. It also proposed design skill of optimal controller, in case the system has structured uncertainty, unstructured uncertainty and disturbance. Reduction of vibration is verified at critical rotating speed even external disturbance exists. Unbalance response, a serious problem in rotating machinery, is improved by magnetic bearing using QFT algorithm.

금속물체의 피로도를 측정하기 위하여 고속으로 진동시키면서 비접촉으로 정밀하게 변위를 측정하는 방법에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 비접촉 고속 진동 검출센서들은 와류 센서나 레이저 센서들을 주로 사용하고있지만 매우 고가이다. 최근 저가의 유도성 센서를 고속 진동검출에 적용하려는 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 아직은 초보단계이다. 본 연구에서는 저가의 유도성 센서를 이용하여 비접촉으로 고속 진동을 검출하는 새로운 근접 센서모듈 설계방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 유도성 센서모듈들은 검파, 적분, 및 증폭과정을 통하여 변위를 검출하기 때문에 아날로그회로 특성상 잡음에 약하고 적분과정에서 변위 검출속도 저하의 요인이 된다. 제안된 방법은 AD변환기(Analog to Digital converter)를 사용하지 않고 진동 주파수신호를 직접 디지털 신호로 변환하는 새로운 방법으로 아날로그 잡음의 영향을 적게 받으며 고속으로 신호를 처리할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 성능 평가를 위하여 셰이커로 진동 주파수를 30Hz부터 1,100Hz 까지 일정간격으로 금속편을 진동시키면서 제안된 센서 모듈을 이용하여 비접촉으로 진동 신호를 검출하였다. 실험결과 비접촉 근접 거리 5mm 이내에서 진동 주파수 검출범위는 DC에서 1,100Hz까지 측정할 수 있었으며 진동 폭의 해상도는 $20{\mu}m$로 나타났다. 따라서 제안된 유도성 센서모듈은 정밀 비접촉 고속 진동검출 센서로서 충분한 성능을 가지고 있다고 평가된다.

The railway system requires safety and reliability of service of all railway vehicles. Suitable technical systems and working methods adapted to it, which meet the requirements on safety and good order of traffic, should be maintained. For detection of defects, non-destructive testing methods-which should be quick, reliable and cost-effective - are most often used. Since failure in railway wheelset can cause a disaster, regular inspection of defects in wheels and axles are mandatory. Ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission and eddy current testing method and so on regularly check railway wheelset in service. However, it is difficult to detect a crack initiation clearly with ultrasonic testing due to noise echoes. It is necessary to develop a non-destructive technique that is superior to conventional NDT techniques in order to ensure the safety of railway wheelset. In the present paper, the new NDT technique is applied to the detection of surface defects for railway wheelset. To detect the defects for railway wheelset, the sensor for defect detection is optimized and the tests are carried out with respect to surface and internal defects each other. The results show that the surface crack depth of 1.5 mm in press fitted axle and internal crack in wheel could be detected by using the new method. The ICFPD method is useful to detect the defect that initiated in railway wheelset.
