The characteristics of elastic waves emanating from crack initiation in 2024 and 5052 aluminum alloys subject to static and fatigue loading are investigated through laboratory experiments. The objective of the study is to determine difference in the properties of the signals generated from static and fatigue tests and also to examine if the sources of the waves could be identified from the temporal and spectral characteristics of the acoustic emission (AE) waveforms. The signals are recoded using non-resonant, flat, broadband transducers attached to the surface of the alloy specimens. The time dependence and power spectra of the signals recorded during the tests were examined and classified according to their special features. Three distinct types of signals were observed. The waveforms and their power spectra were found to be dependent on the material and the type of fracture associated with the signals. Analysis of the waveforms indicated that some signals could be attributed to plastic deformation associated with static tests. The potential application of the approach in health monitoring of aging aircraft structures using a network of surface mounted broadband sensors is discussed.

Interfacial and microfailure properties of carbon liber/bismaleimide (BMI) composites were evaluated using both tensile fragmentation and compressive Broutman tests with acoustic emission (AE). Since BMI is rather difficult matrix to apply for the conventional fragmentation test because of its too low elongation and too brittle and high modulus properties, dual matrix composite system was applied. After carbon fiber/BMI composite was prepared for rod shape by controlling differing curing stage, composites rod was embedded in toughened epoxy as outer matrix. The typical microfailure modes including fiber break, matrix cracking, and interlayer failure were observed during tensile testing, whereas the diagonal slippage in fiber ends was observed during compressive test. On the other hand, AE amplitudes of BMI matrix fracture were higher than carbon fiber tincture under tensile test because BMI matrix has very brittle and high modulus. The waveform of signals coming from BMI matrix fractures was consistent with AE amplitude result under tensile tests.

This study is to look at the effect for deformation of Polyethylene, on the wave forms produced by tensile test. Signals collected were then classified visually into three types according to their shapes in the time and frequency domain. Each type should contain signals which could be correlated to a certain micro failure mechanism that occurs during the tensile process. The result showed that the acoustic emission method could be effectively used for analysis of fracture mechanism in Polyethylene structures.

The characteristics of elastic waves emanated from crack initiation in 6061 aluminum alloy subjected to fatigue loading are investigated through experiments. The objective of the study is to determine the differences in the properties of the signals generated from fatigue test and also to examine if the sources of the waves could be identified from the temporal and spectral characteristics of the acoustic emission (AE) waveforms. The signals are recorded using nonresonant, flat, broadband transducers attached to the surface of the alloy specimens. The time dependence and power spectra of the signals recorded during the tests were examined and classified according to their special features. Six distinct types of signals were observed. The waveforms and their power spectra were found to be dependent on the crack propagation stage and the type of fracture associated with the signals. The potential application of the approach in health monitoring of structural components using a network of surface mounted broadband sensors is discussed.

This study were looks at the effect of the initial cut length or stress concentration level, on the wave forms produced by crack propagation. The signals were collected, then classified visually for each type of sample. They were put into three classes according to their shapes in the time and frequency domain. Each class should domain signals which could be correlated to a certain micro-failure mechanism that occurs during the fatigue process. Classes of these signals compared, with each sample. To see if there were any classes common to the three samples. The fatigue test attempted to determine if the initial cut length has any influence on the type of signals.

Nucleation of a crack is readily defected by acoustic emission (AE) method. One powerful technique for AE waveform analysis has been developed as SiGMh (Simplified Greens functions for Moment tensor Analysis), as crack kinematics of locations, types and orientations are quantitatively determined. Because these kinematical outcomes are obtained as three-dimensional (3-D) locations and vectors, 3-D visualization is definitely desirable. To this end, the visualization system has been developed by using VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language). As an application, failure protest of a reinforced concrete beam is discussed.

Using non-destructive Acoustic Emission (AE) and optical Digital Image Correlation (DIC) methods, the moment-curvature behavior of steel and GFRP bars reinforced concrete beams under flexure was explored in this study. In the tension zone, laboratory studies were carried out on steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams with varying percentages of longitudinal reinforcement ratios of 0.33 %, 0.52%, and 1.11%. The distinct mechanism of cracking initiation and fracture progression of failure in steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams were effectively correlated and picked up using AE waveform characteristics of the number of AE hits and their amplitudes, AE energy as well as average frequency and duration. 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. They display a close matching with the micro and macro-cracks visually observed in the actual beams at various stages of loading.

To diagnosis abnormal compressor conditions in an air-conditioner, the acoustic emission (AE) signal, which is derived from wear condition, compressed air, and assembly error, was analyzed experimentally. Burst and continuous type AE signals resulted from metal contact and compressed air, and the raw AE signal of compressors was acquired in the production line. After extracting samples using waveforms, the Early Life Test (ELT) was conducted and the waveform was classified as normal or abnormal. Efficient parameters in the waveform pattern were investigated in time and frequency domains and a diagnosis algorithm for air-conditioners using Neural Network estimation is suggested.

고강도 알루미늄 합금 2024-T3와 모제 시험편과 부식 시험편을 사용하여 피로 균열 진전증에 발생하는 음향방출 신호를 검출 분석하였다. 시험편 조건에 관계없이 5종류의 신호가 관찰되었다. 모재에서 얻어진 신호는 피로하중을 받으므로서 균열 발생 초기 노치선단외 돌출과 함몰에 의한 높은 에너지를 가진 짧은 기간의 입내 파괴 신호이며, 부식 시험편은 피트 선단 근처의 결정경계의 치화로 인하여 입계 파괴 신호이다. 따라서, 파형과 파워 스펙트럼은 시험편 조건에 의존하는 것 같다. 시험편 조건에 의한 파형과 파워 스펙트럼을 해석함으로써 구조부재의 다향한 손상과 결함으로부터 발생하는 균열 전파와 최종 파괴과정의 실시간 감시 가능하다

구조물의 안전성평가와 관련하여 비파괴평가 방법 중에서 음향방출 (acoustic emission, AE)기법에 의한 비파괴적 결함 발생 검출 기법은 다른 기법에 비해 비교적 새로운 평가기술로서 구조물의 이상 유무를 조기에 진단하고 주기적으로 감시할 수 있는 온-라인 모니터링에 적합하다. 그러나 한편, 국내에서는 아직까지 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 미비한 실정이며, 대부분 값비싼 외국 시스템을 도입하여 사용하고 있는 실정이다 뿐 만 아니라 기존의 음향방출 시스템은 장치의 특성상 시스템이 매우 복잡하고 가격이 고가인 관계로 다양한 산업분야에서 실제 현장에 적용하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 음향방출 시스템이 가지고 있던 불필요한 낭비적인 요소들을 제거하고 실제 산업현장에 부합하는 위치표정 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 한편, 기존의 AE 시스템들은 위치표정을 위한 신호분석이 난해할 뿐만 아니라 박판 구조물의 경우는 위치표정이 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 시간-주파수 해석에 널리 사용되고 있는 웨이블릿 기법을 이용하여 보다 정확한 위치표정을 진단하는 기법을 수행하였다.
