This paper is about the development of surface inspection of bearing inner and outer race using machine vision. Before this system is developed, most inspections are performed by workers' naked eye. To improve both the inconvenience and incorrectness, another new tester is introduced. This system has the three sections mainly. First one is the mechanism section which transfers bearing manufactured from previous process line to the testing process in plant. Another is the inspection system which is composed of two parts: computer vision and measurement system using laser diode which inspects the defects of the bearing inner or outer race. The other is the pneumatic cylinder part controlled by Programmable Logic Controller(PLC). The system which is developed shows favorable results, and that has the advantage of convenience and correctness compared to previous system.

This paper proposes engineering estimation equations for the maximum deflection of a cylinder subject to bending under elastic-plastic and elastic-creep conditions. Being based on the reference stress approach, the proposed equations are simple to use and can accommodate general tensile and creep behaviours. Validation against detailed 3-D FE results using actual stress-strain data and realistic creep-deformation data shows excellent agreement, which provides confidence in the use of the proposed equation. Based on the proposed equations, together with information on in-service inspection data, discussion is given how to estimate future time-dependent and time-independent deflection of the CANDU pressure tube. Thus the present result would be valuable information for integrity assessment of the CANDU pressure tube.

We perform an experiment on lacquer formation with simple test device. The anti-lacquer is one of important issues to increase durability, and to improve performance in the engines because the lacquer formation cause sticking of fuel injection pump, scuffing of cylinder liners, and increase of lubricant oil consumption in the marine diesel engines. We suggest this simple test in order to save enormous experimental cost in marine diesel engines, and in order to have ease in performing the various tests. The influences of the Base Number (BN) of lubricant oils and the sulfur content of fuel oils in the formation of lacquer are investigated. In order to investigate physical and chemical properties of lacquer, we perform a variety of tests such as, visual inspection, EDS. In addition, we investigate adhesion of lacquer by pull-off test quantitatively, and perform dissolution test with dilute sulfuric acid.

In the strengthening of the existed reinforced concrete(RC) structures, it is required that the more rational strengthening method and the amounts of strengthening materials would be decided under the consideration of the present state of RC structures. Therefore, this study examined the strengthening effects of concrete cylinders strengthened with carbon fiber sheet(CFS). In this studying we modeled the reduction of internal forces and the initial strains of concrete cylinders as the load history over the elastic limit. From the results, it revealed that the strengthening of two layer CFS was more effective on the concrete cylinders under the action of load history such as cyclic and cracking load.

The nondestructive testing methods are commonly used to determine the in-situ compressive strength of concrete. The correlation curves to evaluate the effect of aging on the development of concrete strength was proposed. Thirty two ${\Phi}10{\times}20cm$ cylinder specimens were cast from 5 batches having different strength levels. The correlation curves for rebound hammer method, ultrasonic pulse velocity method and combined method were derived from the laboratory tests and multiple regression analysis. To account for the change of condition such as surface hardness, internal moisture contents, the aging coefficients are applied to the correlation curves. From the comparison the nondestructive strength with the core strength taken from the existing reinforced concrete structures, the validity of the proposed correlation curves are verified.

A common hydraulic jack using brdige retrofit has a problem of increasing cost and time of construction to construct additionally temporary bent or concrete bracket, in case of insufficiency work space and release hydraulic pressure. To solve the problem, this technique is developed to alternate the bridge bearing in adequate inspection condition. After control maximum lift-height and minimum lift-force of no damage to super structure, the constructive technique is to alternate and repair the bridge bearing using the wedge jack with bridge bearing ability that is no release hydraulic pressure stopper, and able to reuse separable cylinder.

A rotational pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imager that can inspect cylindrical specimens for material nondestructive evaluations is proposed herein. In this system, a laser-generated ultrasonic bulk wave is used for inspection, which enables a clear visualization of subsurface defects with a precise reproduction of the damage shape and size. The ultrasonic waves are generated by a Q-switched laser that impinges on the outer surface of the specimen walls. The generated waves travel through the walls and their echo is detected by a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) at the same point. To obtain the optimal Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the measured signal, the LDV requires the sensed surface to be at a right angle to the laser beam and at a predefined constant standoff distance from the laser head. For flat specimens, these constraints can be easily satisfied by performing a raster scan using a dual-axis linear stage. However, this arrangement cannot be used for cylindrical specimens owing to their curved nature. To inspect the cylindrical specimens, a circular scan technology is newly proposed for pulse-echo laser ultrasound. A rotational stage is coupled with a single-axis linear stage to inspect the desired area of the specimen. This system arrangement ensures that the standoff distance and beam incidence angle are maintained while the cylindrical specimen is being inspected. This enables the inspection of a curved specimen while maintaining the optimal SNR. The measurement result is displayed in parallel with the on-going inspection. The inspection data used in scanning are mapped from rotational coordinates to linear coordinates for visualization and post-processing of results. A graphical user interface software is implemented in C++ using a QT framework and controls all the individual blocks of the system and implements the necessary image processing, scan calculations, data acquisition, signal processing and result visualization.

In this research, an empirical study on the designed burst pressure of Type3 composite cylinder was performed by hydrostatic burst test equipment. The designed burst pressure of Type3 composite cylinders, which are 6.8 liter and 31 MPa of service pressure, was estimated with the analysis using the finite element method. In order to confirm its accuracy, the burst test of small Type3 composite cylinders was perfomed through three times. The burst test equipment can pressurize to 400 MPa. As a result of comparison between the designed burst pressure and actual burst pressure, the difference was less than 4 percentage. With a test result, the analysis accuracy was verified. This technique will be applied to both qualification and inspection for the composite cylinder.

In this study, the concrete aggregate shape features were extracted from the cross-section of a normal concrete strength cylinder, and the compressive strength of the cylinder was predicted using artificial neural networks and image processing technology. The distance-angle features of aggregates, along with general aggregate shape features such as area, perimeter, major/minor axis lengths, etc., were numerically expressed and utilized for the compressive strength prediction. The results showed that compressive strength can be predicted using only the aggregate shape features of the cross-section without using major variables. The artificial neural network algorithm was able to predict concrete compressive strength within a range of 4.43% relative error between the predicted strength and test results. This experimental study indicates that various material properties such as rheology, and tensile strength of concrete can be predicted by utilizing aggregate shape features.
