PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a strain control type super-high cycle fatigue testing method and a fatigue testing apparatus therefor, which can carry out a super-high cycle fatigue test for a short period of time. SOLUTION: The testing method comprises; a first step of setting at least a control velocity f and the total strain range Δεt across referring points of a test piece 1; a second step of obtaining a target control range ΔLt of a noncontact type displacement gauge 20 corresponding to the set value of the total strain range across the referring points of the test piece; and a third step of executing a fatigue test under a strain control of the noncontact type displacement gauge while repeatedly applying loads on the test piece at the control velocity f such that the amplitude of a measurement value of the noncontact type displacement gauge is kept constant within the target control range ΔLt. In the second step, a measurement value of the noncontact type displacement gauge and a measurement value of a contact type strain gauge 10 are acquired while repeatedly applying the loads on the test piece at a strain velocity at which the contact type strain gauge can follow motions, and a correlation between both gauges is obtained from those measurement values, and the target control range ΔLt is obtained based on the correlation.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit pulse height discrimination of an α-ray, while utilizing the handiness of a ZnS(Ag) scintillation detector, thereby reducing the effects of natural radioactive nuclear species, so that efficient and smooth pollution management can be performed. SOLUTION: The detector is provided with a layer of a ZnS(Ag) scintillator 22 stimulated by the incident α-ray to emit scintillator light, a photomultiplier tube 16 for transducing the scintillator light into an electrical signal, and a counting rate meter 34 counting the acquired pulse signal. The thickness of the layer of the scintillator is equal to or larger than the range of the α-ray from the α-ray radiation nuclear species to be separated. The thickness is made so that all the absorption of the α-ray energy occurs in the scintillator layer, and that the shielding of the generated scintillator light due to the scintillator itself is negligible. A pulse height discrimination circuit 32 is provided at the front stage of the counting rate meter. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform the flaw detection or material characteristic evaluation of a specimen with high sensitivity by adopting a single-probe reflection method using one coil having an advantage for reducing a probe arrangement area and extracting an effective signal in a slow time response range even for close-distance measurement having a slow time response. SOLUTION: Ultrasonic waves are transmitted and received by a single-probe method having one coil for transmission/reception. With a reception waveform obtained in the defect section region of a specimen as a measurement raw signal and with a reception waveform obtained in the sound section region of a specimen as a reference signal, a differential signal waveform is taken out by performing the substraction processing of the measurement raw signal and the reference signal, thus performing the defect flaw detection or material characteristic evaluation of the specimen. The use of a signal obtained at the position of the defect section region differing from the measurement position of the measurement raw signal as a reference signal is also effective.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate an influence of interference X rays due to 182 Ta and possibly, quickly and reliably measure the quantity of radioactivity of 93m Nb. SOLUTION: The quantity of activation of a sample in which a Nb dosimeter is processed to be dissolved/dried and solidified, is measured. Characteristic X rays of the sample with additional nonradioactive 93 Nb and the sample without the additional nonradioactive 93 Nb, are measured, and attenuated until both strengths are matched. After a confirmation, the quantity of radioactivity of 93 Nb is measured. Alternatively, the quantity of radioactivity of 93 Nb is measured by finding a characteristic X ray due to 182 Ta from a difference between both strengths and a difference between the both quantities of 93 Nb and eliminating it. These methods can be combined. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
