  • It is a esperimental report to investigation for optimum window-width on radionuclides $^{131}I\;and\;^{198}Au$ The obtained results were as follow; 1. In case of $^{131}I$, 1) The lowest counts produced at the window-width of 10KeV and 20KeV. 2) The count rate, more increased, when the window-width more opened, but the counting efficiency is very good between 70KeV and 130KeV window-width (19.23% -35.71% about the peak energy). 3) The heighest counting rate per KeV of window appeared at 130KeV window-width. 4) BKG counts increased proportionally to the wider window as 5.473 + 0.016 cpm. 2. In case of $^{198}Au$ 1) The lowest counts appeared at 10KeV and 20KeV window. 2) Count rate more increased, when window-width more opened, but the counting efficiency is very good between 80KeV and 140KeV window (19.46% - 34.06% about the peak energy). 3) The highest counting rate per KeV of the window appeared at 140KeV window. 4) BKG counts increased proportionally to the wider window-width as 4.74 + 1.09 cpm.

  • The purpose of this paper is to show the result from the study to improve the formability and appearance which is important in the cold rolled strip, the coated strip and prepainted strip. Furthermore, to give appropriate surface roughness, shape of work roll for temper mill is also important. The strip has a greater peak counts and homogeneous roughness. This makes the prepainted surface smooth and consistent in appearance with good image clarity. Therefore, the surface roughness of the work roll is very important. The reason that surface roughness of the work roll is transferred to the strip surface is the rolling farce and tension at the temper rolling or cold rolling. This study is classified in order to get an accurate and homogeneous roughness. There are few papers published in this field, because its importance is not known and the proper operation of the machine is not generally well known. This paper investigates the correlation between strip surface roughness and the surface of the work roll. After studying the surface roughness and shape according to the texturing method for roll surfaces at temper rolling, the findings were as follows. Irregular surface roughness can be compensated with several paint coatings, but this also makes the quality deteriorate and manufacturing costs go up.

  • It is important for operators of poly-pipelines in petroleum industry to continuously monitor characteristics of transferred fluid such as its type and amount. To achieve this aim, in this study a dual energy gamma attenuation technique in combination with artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to simultaneously determine type and amount of four different petroleum by-products. The detection system is composed of a dual energy gamma source, including americium-241 and barium-133 radioisotopes, and one 2.54 cm × 2.54 cm sodium iodide detector for recording the transmitted photons. Two signals recorded in transmission detector, namely the counts under photo peak of Americium-241 with energy of 59.5 keV and the counts under photo peak of Barium-133 with energy of 356 keV, were applied to the ANN as the two inputs and volume percentages of petroleum by-products were assigned as the outputs.

  • This paper investigates the correlation between strip surface roughness and the surface of the work roll. As the actual temper mill(TM) is used, this data will be adopted to another actual temper mill for the application and operation of this experiment. Conclusions are as follows: Electro-discharge texturing(EDT) roll has homogeneous roughness distribution and shape, and also a sinuous peak surface and the life is 2 times longer than that of shot blast texturing(SBT) method. And the higher surface roughness of work roll, the more time is necessary at the EDT method. In the SBT method without the correlation of roughness, but impeller rotation speed with an uncontrollable peak count. The roughness of SBT roll is irregularity compared to that of EDT roll because the work roll roughness is transferred to the strip which was temper rolled, and produces a more desirable image and greater clarity to the color painted steel sheet.

  • This study was carried out to measure the mechanical properties and the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of the carbon fiber reinforced composites of several types of the stacking sequence. AE signals were detected during the tensile tests. The number of ringdown counts, total ringdown counts were plotted together with the load-displacement curves. The tensile load-displacement behavior of specimen is compared and discussed based on the measured AE properties in relation to the failure mechanism. With the increase of load, AE signals increased. This showed that failure had being propagated by matrix deformation and cracking, delamination, fiber debonding and breakage. Felicity ratio has been obtained by observation of ;the Kaiser effect according to the variation of load ratio. The reloading tests showed that the felicity ratio decreased obviously when the load ratio or damage increased. These AE characteristics are hopeful to be employed as the criteria to evaluate the failure processes of composites.

  • The objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanical behaviors and structural integrity of the weldment of high strength steel by using an acoustic emission (AE) techniques. Simple tension and AE tests were conducted against the 3 kind of welding test specimens. In order to analysis the effectiveness of weldability, joinability and structural integrity, we used K-means clustering method as a unsupervised learning pattern recognition algorithm for obtained multivariate AE main data sets, such as AE counts, energy, amplitude, hits, risetime, duration, counts to peak and rms signals. Through the experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed method is discussed.

  • Particle Induce X-Ray Emission (PIXE) analysis is one of the most useful methods which can determine the elemental concentration of aerosol particles in nano-gram range. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the measurement system and the procedure of PIXE analysis. The standard samples were prepared to calibrate the PIXE analysis by three different techniques. The linear relationships between the peak counts from PIXE spectra and the mass density from RBS spectra were obtained for each standardized element under the applied measurment geometry and conditions. The sensitivity curves for PIXE analysis were determined from these relationships.

  • Experiments had been carried out in Suweon area from 1972 to 1973 to determine the seasonal fluctuation of Pseudodendrothrips mori NIWA using direct counts and to know the effects of chemicals for its control. 1. The fluctuation of mulberry thrips was especially influenced by precipitation and number of hours with sunshine in the meteological conditions. The peaks of fluctuation occurred several times but the highest peak occurred in late August. 2. The mulberry thrips was distributed in the range of the 4th to 16th leaves from the apex in a branch. The highest density leaves were 6th to 12th. 3. Orthene, Metasystox were the most effects on the mulberry thrips.

  • Demand for new nondestructive evaluations is growing to detect tensile crack growth behavior to predict long term performance of materials and structure in aggressive environments, especially when they are in non-visible area. Acoustic emission technique is well suited to these problems and has drawn a keen interests because of its dynamic detection ability, extreme sensitivity and location of growing defects. In this study, we analysed acoustic emission signals obtained in tensile test of high strength fire resistance steel for frame structure with time frequency analysis methods. The results obtained are summaries as follows ; In the T and TN specimen consisting of ferrite and pearlite grains, most of acoustic emission events were produced near yield point, mainly due to the dislocation activities during the deformation. However, B specimen under $600^{\circ}C$ - 10min had a two peak which was attribute to the presence of martensite phase. The first peak is before yield point the second is after yield point. The sources of second acoustic emission peak were the debonding of martensite-martensite interface and the micro-cracking of brittle martensite phase. In $600^{\circ}C$-30min to $700^{\circ}C$-60min specimens, many signals were observed from area before yield point and counts were decreased after yield point.
