노즐 조립체에 대한 구조건전성을 평가하기 위한 구조강도시험에 음향방출 기법을 적용하였다. 이들 결과는 스트레인 및 변위 측정 결과와 비교 분석 되었으며, AE 기법의 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위하여 X-ray를 이용한 NDT 기법이 각 시험 전과 후에 실시되었다. 노즐 조립체에 대한 구조건전성 평가 시험에서 스트레인 및 변위 결과로는 구조물의 국부적인 균열 생성 현상을 정확하게 규명하기 곤란하였으나, AE 기법을 이용함으로써 균열들의 생성위치 및 하중을 정확하게 평가할 수 있었다. 이 시험을 통하여, 사출판과 노즐 조립체 사이에 존재한 간섭현상으로 인한 예기치 않은 하중에서 노즐 조립체의 복합재 내에 새로운 균열이 생성될 수 있음이 확인되었으며, 이들 균열은 구조물의 급격한 기능 상실의 원인이 될 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring was conducted for mortar specimens under three types of static loading patterns (cubic-splitting, direct-shear and pull-out). Each of the applied loading patterns was expected to produce a particular fracture process. Subsequently, the AEs generated by various fracture or damage processes carried specific information on temporal micro-crack behaviors of concrete for post analysis, which was represented in the form of detected AE signal characteristics. Among various available characteristics of acquired AE signals, frequency content was of great interest. In this study, cement-based piezoelectric sensor (as AE transducer) and home-programmed DEcLIN monitoring system were utilized for AE monitoring on mortar. The cement-based piezoelectric sensor demonstrated enhanced sensitivity and broad frequency domain response range after being embedded into mortar specimens. This broad band characteristic of cement-based piezoelectric sensor in frequency domain response benefited the analysis of frequency content of AE. Various evaluation methods were introduced and employed to clarify the variation characteristics of AE frequency content in each test. It was found that the variation behaviors of AE frequency content exhibited a close relationship with the applied loading processes during the tests.

This paper discusses the applicability of Acoustic Emission (AE) to assess the damage in reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to complex dynamic loadings such as those induced by earthquakes. The AE signals recorded during this type of event can be complicated due to the arbitrary and random nature of seismicity and the fact that the signals are highly contaminated by many spurious sources of noise. This paper demonstrates that by properly filtering the AE signals, a very good correlation can be found between AE and damage on the RC structure. The basic experimental data used for this research are the results of fourteen seismic simulations conducted with a shake table on an RC slab supported on four steel columns. The AE signals were recorded by several low-frequency piezoelectric sensors located on the bottom surface of the slab. The evolution of damage under increasing values of peak acceleration applied to the shake table was monitored in terms of AE and dissipated plastic strain energy. A strong correlation was found between the energy dissipated by the concrete through plastic deformations and the AE energy calculated after properly filtering the signals. For this reason, a procedure is proposed to analyze the AE measured in a RC structure during a seismic event so that it can be used for damage assessment.

하이브리드 복합재료는 FRP나 MMC와 같은 복합재료에 비하여 높은 비강도, 내피로 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 하이브리드 복합재료는 금속과 FRP의 결합구조로 되어있기 때문에 매우 복잡한 파손기구를 가지고 있다. 최근에는 비파괴 기법을 이용하여 이러한 복합재료의 파손기구를 평가하고자 하는 연구가 수행되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출 기법을 이용하여 Al7075/CFRP 하이브리드 복합재료에 대한 손상정도 및 파손기구를 명확히 하고자 하였다. 특히 AE 사상수, 에너지, 진폭과 같은 AE 파라미터들은 Al7075/CFRP 하이브리드 복합재료의 파손과정을 평가하는데 효과적이었다. 더불어, 광학현미경을 이용하여 AE 신호와 시험편의 표면소상 특성과의 관계를 비교, 검토하였다.

The paper presents an investigation of the widely varying mechanical performance and behaviour of steel and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete beams using non-destructive techniques of Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) under four-point bending. Laboratory experiments are performed on both differently reinforced concrete beams with 0.33%, 0.52% and 1.11% of tension reinforcement against balanced section. The results show that the ultimate load-carrying capacity increases with an increase in tensile reinforcement in both cases. In addition to that, AE waveform parameters of amplitude and number of AE hits successfully correlates and picks up the divergent mechanism of cracking initiation and progression of failure in steel reinforced and GFRP reinforced concrete beams. AE activity is about 20-30% more in GFRP-RC beams as compared to steel-RC beams. It was primarily due to the lower modulus of elasticity of GFRP bars leading to much larger ductility and deflections as compared to steel-RC beams. Furthermore, AE XY event plots and longitudinal strain profiles using DIC gives an online and real-time visual display of progressive AE activity and strains respectively to efficaciously depict the crack evolution and their advancement in steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams which show a close matching with the micro-and macro-cracks visually observed in the actual beams at various stages of loading.

Acoustic Emission(AE) technique has been applied to not only material characterization evaluation but also on-line monitoring of the structural integrity. The AE source location technique is very important to identify the source, such as crack, leak detection. Since the AE waveforms obtained from sensors are very difficult to distinguish the defect signals, therefore, it is necessary to consider the signal analysis of the transient wave-form. In this study, we have divided the region of interest into a set finite elements, and calculated the arrival time differences between sensors by using the velocities at every degree from 0 to 90. A new technique for the source location of acoustic emission in fiberboard plates has been studied by introducing Wavelet Transform(WT) do-noising technique. WT is a powerful tool for processing transient signals with temporally varying spectra. If the WT de-noising was employed, we could successfully filter out the errors of source location in fiberboard plates by arrival time difference method. The accuracy of source location appeared to be significantly improved.
