In this research, we used nondestructive test based on ultrasonic test as inspection method, and made up inspection robot in order to control of ultrasonic probe on the SWP surface, and programmed to signal processing code and pattern classifying code by user made programming code. For evaluation of flaw signal is reflected on welding flaw, user-made program codes are composed of signal processing and probability neural network (PNN) and backpropagation neural network (BPNN). And then, we actually confirmed to the theoretical advantage of each neural network method compared probability neural network with backpropagation neural network for classification and recognition rate. For the application of classifier to SWP inspection system, BPNN classifier is adequate in the first stage. And then, the application of PNN classifier is adequate as the next stage. Because of PNN application need enough sample data that is due to probabilistic density function.
The purpose of this research is stability estimation of plant structure through classification and
recognition about welding flaw in SWP(Spiral Welding Pipe). And, In this research, we used
nondestructive test based on ultrasonic test as inspection method, and made up inspection robot in
order to control of ultrasonic probe on the SWP surface, and programmed to signal processing code
and pattern classifying code by user made programming code. Inspection robot is simply
constructed as 2-axes because of welding bead with fixed pitch. So, inspection of welding part can
be possible as composition of inspection part for tracking on welding line. For evaluation of flaw
signal is reflected on welding flaw, user-made program codes are composed of signal processing
and Bayesian classifier and perceptron neural network and back-propagation neural network. And
then, we confirmed to superiority of neural network method compared with Bayesian classifier for
classification and recognition rate. According to this result, we selected back-propagation neural
network as classification and recognition method about the system of SWP stability Estimation[2].
Through this process, we proved efficiency on the system of SWP stability Estimation, and
constructed on the base of the system of SWP stability Estimation for the application in industrial
fields.
Importance on the detection of corrosion-related defect is undeniable from the fact that it
can prevent significant economic loss and enhanced safety in mechanical equipments, pipes, ships,
bridges, and other applications. Conventionally researched measurement methods for defect and
thinning from corrosion are acoustic emission, EMAT using ultrasound, laser induced ultrasound, etc.
However, these non-destructive testing methods have the shortcoming of accessibility to on-site. For
instance, EMAT should be close to several millimeters to generate magnetic field in structure. For
laser application, it can be applied to remote non-destructive testing, but some defect might not be
possible to be detected by the surface condition of structure. In this study, infrared thermography
camera is utilized to determine the degree of corrosion on paint-coated metal. In addition,
fundamental researches to develop corrosion detection system for on-site metallic structure are
conducted to provide the applicability of IR camera and possibility of thermal analysis method.
