Professor Jung-Ryul Lee's research lab specializes in advanced structural health monitoring and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technologies, with a focus on ultrasonic sensing, fiber optic sensors (particularly fiber Bragg gratings), and smart materials for aerospace and aviation applications. The lab develops innovative diagnostic systems for real-time detection of structural defects—such as disbonding, delamination, and blade damage—using ultrasonic wave propagation, optical fiber sensors, and machine learning-based image analysis. Their work bridges electromechanical sensing, materials integrity assessment, and intelligent monitoring systems for critical aeronautical components.

In this paper, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) were applied to measure dynamic strains inside a subscale wing under real-time wind tunnel testing. Two re-coated FBGs were embedded in the wing skin. The FBG sensor system includes a wavelength swept fiber laser with a wavelength indicator and fast signal processing modules. The agreement among the three kinds of sensor inside the subscale wing (FBG, electric strain gauge and PZT sensor) was confirmed in the bench test. The optical fiber strain sensors
In the past few years, great effort has been devoted to the fabrication of highly efficient, broadband radome and stealth (R&S) structures for distinct control, guidance, surveillance and communication applications for airborne platforms. The evaluation of non-planar aircraft R&S structures in terms of their electromagnetic performance and structural damage is still a very challenging task. In this article, distinct measurement techniques are discussed for the electromagnetic performance and non
An ultrasonic wavefield propagation imaging system is introduced and then applied for ultrasonic wavefield imaging of complex curved surfaces. A Q-switched pulsed laser is utilized as a moving ultrasonic generator, and a PZT ultrasonic sensor is fixed during the laser beam scanning and detects the ultrasonic waves propagated from the points excited by the laser beam. The waveforms are allocated in the spatial domain of the scanned points and then manipulated in the form of a time versus wavefiel
