Abstract

In this paper, a novel ultrasonic propagation imaging system, called a full-field pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imaging (FF PE UPI) system is introduced. The system nondestructively inspected targets with two-axis translation stage. The coincident laser beams for ultrasonic sensing and generation are scanned and pulse-echo mode laser ultrasounds are captured. This procedure makes it possible to generate full-field ultrasound in through-the-thickness direction as large as the scan area. Structural inspection results in the form of full-field ultrasonic wave propagation videos are introduced, which are painted sandwich control surfaces. In addition, the inspection results of FF PE UPI system are compared with conventional ultrasonic testing methods such as waterjet and portable C-scan.

본 연구에서는 전영역 초음파전파영상화 시스템이라 불리는 새로운 초음파전파영상화 장치를 소개한다. 본 시스템은 비파괴적으로 구조를 2 축 선형 이동 스테이지 기반으로 검사한다. 일치된 초음파 센싱과 가진 레이저 빔이 구조를 스캔하며 동시에 펄스-에코 모드 레이저 초음파를 수집한다. 이 과정은 스캔영역만큼 큰 두께 방향의 전영역 초음파를 생성하는 것을 가능하도록 한다. 본 시스템을 사용하여 실제로 운용 중인 알루미늄 허니콤 구조 기반의 CN-235의 도색된 샌드위치 조종면를 검사 및 평가하고 구조 검사 결과로써 전영역 초음파전파 영상을 소개하였으며 기존 초음파 탐상 기법의 결과와 비교하여 성능 및 민감도를 검증하였다.
