The process of localization of cracks and movement of the fracture process zone(FPZ) was studied using the acoustic-emission(AE) techniques. The rate of AE events and sources of AE activity were studied for mortar and rock specimens loaded in uniaxial compression. A series of transducers could be used to detect and AE activity. Based on the time differences between detection of the event at different transducers, source of AE activity could be detected. The rate of AE events increased sharply before peak load. The highest rate occurred just after peak load was attained. The effective crack length estimated from the modified linear-elastic fracture mechanics seemed consistent with the optical and AE measurements.

Acoustic Emission was monitored during tensile test and loading-holding-unloa-ding cycle test for two types (notched and unnotched) of CFRP specimens. AE activities showed that the fiber breakage during tensile tests depended upon the specimen geometry. We obtained new AE parameter such as the ration (damage ratio= AE events during unloading test / AE events during loading test) and the felicity ratio from which we investigated dynamic fracture process of CFRP specimens. The damage ratio of AE events was shown to be a good indicator to distinguish the generated fracture mechanism, such as fiber breakage and delamination. Also, ultrasonic testing results after loading-holding-unloading cycle test were good agreement with AE test results to detect defects or fiber breakage.

치아의 와동에 수복된 치과용 복합레진을 광(LED) 조사를 통해 정화 수축시키면서 음향방출(acoustic emission, AE) 신호를 검출하였다. 비모수 통계법인 Mann-Whitney법과 Kruskal-Wallis법을 이용하여 시편의 재질과 계면의 접착조건에 따른 AE hit event 수와 최대진폭을 비교 평가하였다. PMMA와 치아시편으로부터 검출된 선호의 최대진폭은 정착조건에 따른 차이가 없었지만 스테인리스 시편으로부터 검출된 신호는 접착조건에 따라 최대 진폭의 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). AE hit event 수는 양호한 접착조건에서 시편의 재질에 따라 차이가 있었고(p<0.05), 세가지 재질의 시편 모두 접착조건이 양호한 실험에서 AE 신호가 적게 검출되었다. SEM을 이용하여 계면에 생성된 캡을 측정한 결과 AE가 많이 검출되고 검출된 신호의 최대 진폭이 큰 시편에서 갱의 폭이 넓고 형성 비율이 높았다.

치아의 와동에 수복된 치과용 복합레진을 광(LED) 조사를 통해 경화 수축시키면서 음향방출(acoustic emission, AE)법을 이용하여 와동 벽면과 복합레진 사이의 계면상태를 실시간 해석하였다. 복합레진의 중합 수축에 의해 AE 신호들이 검출되었는데 계면 접착 상태가 나쁜 경우, 경화 수축률이 큰 초기 1분 동안 많은 AE 사상들이 관측되었으며, 이들 AE는 주파수범위가 주로 100-200kHz인 돌발형이었다. 인간치아 재질의 시편에서 발생된 AE 사상수는 스테인리스 스틸 시편보다 적었으나, PMMA 시편보다는 많았고 접착제의 도포 상태가 양호할수록 검출되는 AE 사상수는 적었다. AE 파라미터의 특성은 복합레진과 링재 사이의 접착부에서 발생하는 인장형 균열전파 및 복합레진의 수축에 따른 링재의 압축거동과 관련되었으며, 음향방출법이 치아 수복물의 접착성에 대한 비파괴 검사법으로써 유효함을 알았다.

Acoustic emission(AE)/Microseimsic(MS) activities are low-energy seismic events associated with a sudden inelastic deformation such as the sudden movement of existing fractures, the generation of new fractures or the propagation of fractures. These events rapidly increase before major failure and happen within a given rock volume and radiate detectable seismic waves. The main difference between AE and MS signals is that the seismic motion frequencies of AE signals are higher than those of MS signals. As the failure of geotechnical structures usually happens as a high velocity and small displacement, it is not easy to determine the precursor and initiation stress level of failure in displacement detection method. To overcome this problem, AE/MS techniques for detection of structure failure and damage have recently adopt in civil engineering. In this study, AE/MS monitoring system, which consist of sensor, data acquisition and operation program, is constructed with domestic technology. To verify and optimize the developed system, we are now carrying out the field application at an underground research laboratory and the developed AE/MS monitoring will be used in detecting of seismic events with various scales.

Coal samples with different joints morphology were subjected to uniaxial compression experiments, cracks evolution was recorded by Nikon D5300 and acoustic emission (AE) energy signals were collected by AEwin Test for Express-8.0. During loading process, coal samples deformed elastically with no obvious cracks changes, then they expanded gradually along the trace of the original cracks, accompanied by the formation of secondary cracks, and eventually produced a large-scale fracture. It was more interesting that the failure mode of samples were all shear shape, whatever the original cracks morphology was. With cracks and damage evolution, AE energy radiated regularly. At the early loading stage, micro damage and small scale fracture events only induced a few AE events with less energy, while large scale fracture leaded to a number of AE events with more energy at the later stage. Based on the multifractal theory, the multifractal spectrum could explain AE energy signals frequency responses and the causes of AE events with load. Multifractal spectrum width (${\Delta}{\alpha}$), could reflect the differences between the large and small AE energy signals. And another parameter (${\Delta}f$) could reflect the relationship between the frequency of the least and greatest signals in the AE energy time series. This research is helpful for us to understand cracks evolution and AE energy signals causes.

Various monitoring techniques are now available for structural health monitoring and Acoustic Emission (AE) is one of them. One of the major advantages of the AE technique is its capability to locate active cracks in structural members. AE crack locating approaches are affected by the signal attenuation and dispersion of elastic waves due to inhomogeneity and geometry of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In this paper, a novel technique is described based on signal processing and sensor arrangement to process multisensory AE data generated by the onset and propagation of cracks and is validated with experimental results from an in-situ load test. Considering the sources of uncertainty in the AE crack location process, a methodology is proposed to capture and locate events generated by cracks. In particular, the relationship between AE events and load is analyzed, and the feasibility of using the AE technique to evaluate the cracking behavior of two RC slab strips during loading to failure is studied.

인공해수에서 HT-60강 용접부의 응력부식균열(SCC)과 음향방출(AE)신호특성을 알아보기 위하여 SCC외 AE실험을 동시에 실시하였으며, 양 실험결과를 상호 비교 분석하였다. 모재의 경우, -0.8V에서 보다 긴 파단수명을 보였고, 용해기구 등으로 인하여 -0.8V에 비해 -0.5V에서 AE가 많이 발생하였다. 그러나 시험편에 가해진 전위 값에 관계없이 최대하중 이후의 영역에서 AE 발생 수는 감소하였다. 용접재의 경우, 모재 및 후열처리재와는 달리 용접부의 특이성 때문에 많은 AE 발생과 큰 진폭의 범위$(40{\sim}100dB)$를 나타내었으며 최대하중 이후에도 AE 발생이 활발하였다. 또한, 보다 크고 많은 균열이 파단면에 형성되었음을 SEM관찰을 통하여 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이들 결과로부터 용접부는 인공해수에서 SCC현상이 가장 심하게 일어나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 후열처리는 용접부의 연화를 초래하였고, 용접재에 비해 부식환경에 대한 민감도를 떨어뜨리는 효과를 가져왔다.

The application and development of on-line monitoring technology of AE to surveillance of crack propagation will contribute to the structural integrity of reactor pressure vessel and piping system. This research has been performed in order to obtain the evaluation technology for source location of AE and the analysis for the AE signal of the welded specimen. AE is detected by 4-channels AE system during pressurization in small pressure vessels. The cracking of artificial defects can be accurately located and categorized in real time. The welded specimens have more events rate and higher amplitude than the weldless less specimens, and the events rate have a peak around the yield point and just before the failure under tensile test.

이 연구는 팽창성 시멘트의 팽창압에 의한 암석 파괴 시에 발생하는 AE 파의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구결과 AE파의 우세 주파수와 최대 진폭은 팽창성 시멘트 충전공에서의 압력 발달 비율과 관련하여 변화되었다. AE파의 우세 주파수는 소 직경 충전공 시험에서 150∼230kHz이었고 대 직경 충전공에서 400∼500kHz이었으며, 최대 진폭은 각각 0.015∼0.050cm/sec 및 0.025∼0.064cm/sec이었다. 시험에서 충전공의 크기에 따라 각기 높은 주파수의 큰 진폭과 낮은 주파수의 작은 진폭의 AE파가 수신된다는 사실은 동일 시료에서 일정한 규모의 균열을 발생시키는데 필요한 총 에너지는 대체로 동일함을 강하게 암시하고 있다. 팽창성 시멘트에 의한 암석 균열은 진폭이 특별히 큰 AE파의 발생없이 안정적으로 진행되어서 거시적 암석균열은 미소균열의 안정적 성장의 결과임을 시사하였다.
