    Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasonic medium supplying jig and a fast ultrasonic scanning apparatus with a circulating medium, in which the medium is continuously supplied to between an ultrasonic probe and a to-be-scanned object to prevent the to-be-scanned object from being submerged in water, thereby enabling a stable ultrasound image to be obtained while achieving fast scanning. The disclosed ultrasonic medium supplying jig may include jig for supplying an ultrasonic medium, the medium supplying jig including: a main body having a space provided to open at least one surface thereof to form a receiving part in which one end including a sensing surface of an ultrasonic probe is received; a medium inlet port through which the ultrasonic medium is injected; a first medium outlet port provided at a position of the main body, where a sensing surface of the ultrasonic probe is disposed, to supply the ultrasonic medium; and a medium supply line provided to transfer the ultrasonic medium by connecting the medium inlet port with the first medium outlet port; and a second medium outlet port being in communication with the medium supply line and formed on the outer surface of the main body while penetrating a bottom surface of the main body from the first medium outlet port.

    Abstract: This application relates to a method for analyzing the dynamic characteristics of carbon composite materials. In the method, a specimen for a specific carbon fiber orientation is prepared and a modal test is performed on the specimen to obtain data and analyze the characteristics of the specimen on the basis of the data. To solve conventional carbon composite material dynamic characteristic analysis methods for carbon composite materials, the proposed method can determine the orientation of carbon fiber orientation exhibiting desired dynamic characteristics by predicting various system parameters at the state of designing, i.e., before the manufacture of a carbon composite material. Especially, the method predicts system parameters such as structural stiffness and viscous damping coefficient which are very sensitive to the orientation of carbon fiber, using only data of a single reference orientation, and reflects the prediction results on the design of a carbon composite material.
