The purpose of this study is to show how to eliminate the noises and to obtain the data related with the relationship between AE signal characteristics and mechanical behaviors for the pressure vessel steel. Various kinds of noises are introduced into the AE data in the course of experiments. Accordingly, real AE data have to be obtained after tests. AE test was carried out under four point bending load. Among AE signals, counts and signal strength are used to find out the differences of AE characteristics between the basemetal and weldment. After tests, this paper shows the procedures of filtering the noises against basemetal of the pressure vessel steel to obtain the real data around crack tip. Relationships between plastic zone size and cumulative AE counts are shown also. AE signals were absent within an elastic region, regardless of the specimens. Most of AE signals are produced in the process of plastic deformation. The deformation and fracture modes of basemetal and weldment are quiet different.

본 연구의 목적은 음향방출법을 이용하여 고 장력강 용접부의 응력부식균열특성을 평가하는데 있다. 이를 위해 용접재와 후열처리재를 대상으로 인공해수에서 저 변형률로 하중을 가하면서 응력부식균열을 일으키고, 동시에 음향방출법에 의해 손상과정을 감시하였다. 부식환경은 전위계에 의해 제어되었으며, 시험편에는 각각 -0.8V와 -1.1V의 전위 값을 가하였다. -0.8V인 부식환경 하에서 일층 용접부는 후열처리재에 비해 단위 시간당 AE counts수가 훨씬 많이 발생하였으며, 응력부식균열과정에서 균열의 발생 및 합체가 가장 활발하게 이뤄지고 있음을 누적 AE counts의 결과로부터 확인할 수 있었다. 가해진 전위 값이 -1.1V인 경우, 일층 용접재의 파단시간은 이층 용접재에 비해 줄었고, AE counts수는 이층 용접재에 비해 현저히 많이 발생하였다 AE진폭 범위는 -0.8V 일층 용접재에서 가장 높았고, -1.1V 일층 용접재에서 가장 작은 값을 보였는데, fractography분석결과 AE 진폭 범위는 균열의 크기 및 폭과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 비파괴법을 이용하여 압력용기 강 다층용접부에서 채취한 표준 샤르피 시험편의 균열선단에서 형성되는 소성변형 거동을 평가하였다. 모재, 후열처리재 및 용접재를 대상으로 시험편에 기계적인 노치를 가공한 후 예균열(pre-crack)을 낸 다음 4점 굽힘실험과 음향방출(acoustic emission: AE)실험을 동시에 실시하였다. 균열선단은 용접재외 후열처리재의 경우 용융선 근처에 위치하도록 하였다. 하중이 가해짐에 따라 균열선단에서 형성되는 소성영역의 크기는 응력확대계수를 이용하여 구했으며, 각 시험편에 대한 소성역의 크기와 음향방출 특성과의 관계는 축적된 AE 에너지 관점에서 고찰하였다. 시험편에 관계없이 탄성역역에서는 거의 AE신호가 감지되지 않았으며, 대부분의 AE신호는 소성변형 과정에서 발생하였다. 또한, 용접재가 모재와 후열처리재에 비해 AE신호가 훨씬 많이 발생하였다. 모재와 후열처리재 및 용접재의 균열선단에서 소성영역 크기와 축적된 AE에너지와의 관계는 현저히 다르게 나타났으며, 용접재의 AE counts는 모재와 후열처리재에 비해 많이 발생하였다.

Evaluating the quantitative damage to rocks through acoustic emission (AE) has become a research focus. Most studies mainly used one or two AE parameters to evaluate the degree of damage, but several AE parameters have been rarely used. In this study, several data-driven models were employed to reflect the combined features of AE parameters. Through uniaxial compression tests, we obtained mechanical and AE-signal data for five granite specimens. The maximum amplitude, hits, counts, rise time, absolute energy, and initiation frequency expressed as the cumulative value were selected as input parameters. The result showed that gradient boosting (GB) was the best model among the support vector regression methods. When GB was applied to the testing data, the root-mean-square error and R between the predicted and actual values were 0.96 and 0.077, respectively. A parameter analysis was performed to capture the parameter significance. The result showed that cumulative absolute energy was the main parameter for damage prediction. Thus, AE has practical applicability in predicting rock damage without conducting mechanical tests. Based on the results, this study will be useful for monitoring the near-field rock mass of nuclear waste repository.

연삭작업에 있어서 요구되는 가공능률과 가공정밀도를 얻기 위해서는 적절한 결합도를 갖는 연삭숫돌을 선택하 는 것이 중요한 요건이 된다. 본 연구에서는 결합도를 평가하기 위한 일정한 기준을 설정할 목적으로 AE계측 시스템을 이용하여 대월식결합도시험방법에 따라 연삭숫돌표면의 일부를 파괴시켰을 때 발생되는 AE신호를 검출 하고 연삭숫돌의 파괴량과 AE 신호특성과의 관계 및 AE를 이용한 결합도평가의 가능성을 검토하였다.

Both in-process quality control and high reliability of the weld is one of the major concerns in applying friction welding to the economical and qualified mass-production. No reliable nondestructive monitoring method is available at present to determine the real-time evaluation of automatic production quality control for friction welding of special hydraulic valve spool of 16mm in diameter. This paper, so that, presents the experimental examinations and statistical quantitative analysis of the correlation between the initial cumulative counts of acoustic emission(AE) occurring during plastic deformation periods of the welding and the tensile strength and other properties of the welded joints of $\phi16$ valve spool as well as the various welding variables, as a new approach which attempts finally to develop real-time quality monitoring system for friction welding.

This study was performed to optimize friction welding conditions of Cr-Mo steel bars used for hydraulic of pneumatic valve spools and to realize the real-time evaluation of weld quality by acoustic emission method. SNCM220, SCM435, SCAM645, and SCM415 steel bars were tested to find optimum conditions of friction welding. Auantitative equations which exhibit the relations of tensile strength, elongation, reduction of area and energy absorption with friction heating time were obtained by the experiment. Acoustic emission was also performed in the friction weldig process, and the real-time evaluation was enabled to find the optimum range of weld strength. Finally, the strength and toughness of welded joints were interpreted by the sem analysis of tensile fracture surfaces.

The complete joining method for dissimilar hot die punch materials and its real-time evaluation method are not available at present. Brazing method has been used for joining them, but it is known that the welded joint by the brazing has the lower bonding efficiency and reliability than the diffusion welding. The friction welding with a diffusion mechanism in bonding was applied in this study. So, this work was carried out to determine the optimal friction welding conditions and to analyze mechanical properties of friction welded joints of hot die punch materials (STD61 for the blade part of hot die punch) to alloy steel (SCM440 for the shank part of hot die punch) such as plunger. In addition, acoustic emission test was carried out during friction welding to evaluate the weld quality.

In-process quality control and high reliability of the weld are the major concerns in applying friction welding to the economical and qualified mass-production. Experimental examinations and quantitative analysis were performed for the optimiaztion of similar friction welding of hydraulic valve spool steels(SNCM220, SCM435, SACM645, SCM415, ${\varphi}24). The quantitative correlations were found between the initial cumulative counts of acoustic emission(AE) occurring during plastic deformation periods of the welding and the fatigue life as well as weld strength and welding conditions. A real-time evaluation system was developed for the friction weld quality by AE.
