Steam generator tubes play an important role in safety because they constitute one of the primary barriers between the radioactive and non-radioactive sides of the nuclear power plant. For this reason, the integrity of the tubes is essential in minimizing the leakage possibility of radioactive water. The integrity of the tubes is evaluated based on NDE (non-destructive evaluation) inspection results. Especially ECT (eddy current test) method is usually used for detecting the flaws in steam generator tubes. However, detection capacity of the NDE is not perfect and all of the "real flaws" which actually existing in steam generator tunes is not known by NDE results. Therefore reliability of NDE system is one of the essential parts in assessing the integrity of steam generators. In this study POD (probability of detection) of ECT system for ODSCC in steam generator tubes is evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. The cracked tube specimens are made using the withdrawn steam generator tubes. Therefore the cracks are not artificial but real. Using the multivariate logistic regression method, continuous POD surfaces are evaluated from hit (detection) and miss (no detection) binary data obtained from destructive and non-destructive evaluation of the cracked tubes. Length and depth of cracks are considered in multivariate logistic regression and their effects on detection capacity are evaluated.

Nondestructive evaluation of seed viability is one of the highly demanding technologies for seed production industry. Conventional seed sorting technologies, such as tetrazolium and standard germination test are destructive, time consuming, and labor intensive methods. Near infrared spectroscopy technique has shown good potential for nondestructive quality measurements for food and agricultural products. In this study, FT-NIR spectroscopy was used to classify normal and artificially aged lettuce seeds. The spectra with the range of 1100~2500 nm were scanned for lettuce seeds and analyzed using the principal component analysis(PCA) method. To classify viable seeds from nonviable seeds, a calibration modeling set was developed with a partial least square(PLS) method. The calibration model developed from PLS resulted in 98% classification accuracy with the Savitzky-Golay $1^{st}$ derivative preprocessing method. The prediction accuracy for the test data set was 93% with the MSC(Multiplicative Scatter Correction) preprocessing method. The results show that FT-NIR has good potential for discriminating non-viable lettuce seeds from viable ones.

최근 구조물기초에 큰 변형 및 손상을 가하지 않고 안정성에 대한 정보를 비교적 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 비파괴시험(NDT, Non-Destructive Testing)기법이 큰 관심을 얻고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비파괴시험 중 검측공 기법(CSL, CT, PS)과 표면파 기법(SE, IR)을 현장타설말뚝의 건전도 평가에 이용하기 위한 적용성의 문제를 현장시험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 결함이 없는 한 본의 정상말뚝과 연약선단, 단면축소 확대, 불량콘크리트 타설 등 현장에서 발생하기 쉬운 결함의 종류, 크기, 위치 등을 변화 조합한 9본의 현장타설말뚝(직경 0.4m, 길이 7.0m)을 시공하여 다양한 비파괴시험을 수행하였다. 시험을 통하여 각 기법을 현장타설말뚝의 건전도 평가에 적용할 때의 문제점과 각 기법의 합리적인 조합에 대하여 고찰하였다.

Internal defects of thin pressure vessel used in the power plants or the chemical plants may be created and grow due to corrosion or creep fatigue to reduce the strength and cause critical failure during operation. Therefore it is very important to detect this defect at the early stage. For this purpose, non-destructive, non-contact and highly sensitive method should be considered for on-line application. In this paper, a laser shearographic interferometer is applied to inspect circular defects and notch defects existed inside of thin pressure vessel under the presence of pressure up to 3 times of atmospheric pressure. The influences of the defect shape and size as well as the internal pressure to the characteristic pattern in the shearography fringe are investigated, and the quantitative evaluation of the defect size is tried. Also the experimental results are compared with the destructive test results to show the applicability of this method to the quantitative evaluation of internal defects in the thin pressure vessel.

Kudoa septempunctata, a myxosporean parasite that infects olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus is known to cause Kudoa food poisoning. Entire trunk muscle (ETM) is used for diagnosis of the parasite in fish and this method demands sacrifice of the host, causing a loss of commercial value. We developed a non-destructive method that uses a plastic syringe-style implanter to draw the sample, called the part-point muscle (PPM) sampling technique. We validated the PPM method in fish infected with K. septempunctata at the level detectable by the ETM method. We confirmed that the PPM method is equally sensitive in comparison to the ETM method for diagnosing K. septempunctata spores in olive flounder muscle. Our study also confirmed that the parasite is uniformly distributed in the dorsal muscle of infected fish. Over a period of 1 month, we observed no mortality of the host fish used for sampling by the PPM method. Thus, our studies demonstrate that the PPM sampling technique is an efficient, non-destructive method for diagnosing K. septempunctata in olive flounder.

Large welded structures, including ships and offshore structures, are normally in operation under cyclic fatigue loadings. These structures include many geometric discontinuities, as well as material discontinuities due to weld joints. The fatigue strength at these hot spots is very important for the structural performance. In the past, various Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) techniques have been developed to detect fatigue cracks and to estimate their location and size. However, an important limitation of most of the existing NDE methods is that they are off line; the normal operation of the structure has to be interrupted, and the device often has to be disassembled. This study explores the development of a structural health monitoring system, with a special interest in applying the technique to welded structural members in ship and offshore structures. In particular, the impedance based structural health monitoring technique that employs the coupling effect of piezoceramic (PZT) materials and structures is investigated.

Ball indentation tests have been used to estimate the mechanical properties of materials by some investigators. In this study, load-depth curves from ball indentation tests have been analysed using the geometric conditions of ball indentation. Series of numerical calculations and experimental results showed that those curves could be simplified by linear functions. After linearizing the indentation curves, the estimation process of the flow properties became straight forward and the scatter of results could be drastically reduced.

Soundness evaluation of a structure being constructed under the sea is usually difficult. In this study, a cross-hole sonic logging(CSL) which have been used for non-destructive test of concrete piles is adopted for the integrity test and monitoring of DCM(deep cement mixing) treated soils. Chemical and physical characteristics of raw ground materials are analysed to delineate ground environmental effects on the strength of DCM treated soils. In order to convert cross-hole sonic logging data into compressive strength, correlations between compressive strengths and wave velocities of core samples have been obtained. It is found that there is little effect of ground environment on the strength of the DCM treated soils, and the density distribution of core samples and cross-hole logging data show that a defective zone may exist in the DCM treated soils. With the time lapse, however, the defective zone has been cured and consequently, compressive strength of the DCM treated soils increases and satisfies the design parameter. From this study it can be concluded that the cross-hole sonic logging can be used for the integrity test as well as monitoring the curing stage of the structures, successfully.

본 연구의 목적은 록볼트의 건전도를 평가하기 위하여 록볼트의 비파피시험을 기술하고 바파괴시험의 적용성을 조사하는 것이다. 록볼트 자체와 그라우팅제를 포함한 록볼트의 건전도를 평가하기 위하여, 수치해석 및 실험적 방법을 이용한 두가지 방법이 적용되었다. 수치해석 방법에서는 분석은 DISPERSE 프로그램을 이용하여 록볼트의 분산선도를 해석하였다. 분산선도 곡선은 지중근입되어 있는 록볼트에 대한 그라우팅제의 두께와 강성에 대한 영향을 보여준다. 이로 부터 록볼트의 건전도 시험을 위한 최적의 주파수를 추정할 수 있으며, 그 결과 L(1, 0) 모드에서 20~120kHz가 최적의 주파수로 산정되었다. 실험적 방법에서는 실험실에서 사료를 제작하여 파괴 및 비파괴시험을 실시하였다. 비파괴 실험에서는 타격을 이용한 저주파수 모드와 초음파 트랜스듀서를 이용한 고주파수 모드를 통하여 록볼트의 상태를 조사할 수 있다. 실험실에서 수행된 비파괴실험으로부터, 유도파는 주변의 그라우팅제의 강도가 증가하거나 (또는 증가하고) 결함부 영역이 증가할 때 감쇠가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 인발시험으로부터 록볼트의 극한지지력을 추정하였다. 본 연구는 록볼트의 건전도 평가에 비파괴시험이 매우 유용한 방법임을 보여준다.
