SPPH강의 응력부식 균열과 용접 결함의 AE 신호의 특성을 살펴보았다. 고압배관 용접부의 결함 진전을 유도하기 위하여 부식용액(NaOH)과 국부가열 후 급랭 등의 기법을 적용하여 시험체를 제작하였다. AE 신호분석 결과, 결함으로 의심되는 영역에서 발생되는 AE 신호의 진폭은 $60{\sim}75\;dB$로 나타났으며 누적 진폭 분포 특성 조사에서 용접결함만이 존재하는 시험체는 0.034, 0.034, 0.035의 기울기를 나타내며 부식을 가한 시험체는 용접결함 기구와 부식기구가 합해져 새로운 기울기인 0.040, 0.039, 0.041로 그 차이는 적으나 기울기의 증가가 확인되었다. 가압 3분 이후 각 구간에서 응력부식결함에 의한 AE신호의 검출이 용이하였고 본 실험을 통하여 급작스런 취성파괴를 일으키는 특성을 가지고 있는 응력부식균열(SCC)의 발생 예측과 피해 예방이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 화학 기계 연마(CMP) 공정 중 발생하는 다양한 영역대의 신호를 분석하기 위하여 음향 방출 센서(AE)를 이용하였다. 특히 음향 방출 센서는 공정 중 발생하는 기계적 소음을 전기적 신호로 변환하기 용이하며, 특히 고주파 영역대의 신호를 감지하기에 용이하다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 CMP 장비에 음향 방출 센서를 부착하여 CMP 공정 중 발생하는 신호를 동시에 획득하였다. 본 음향 방출 모니터링 시스템은 CMP 공정 조건 변화 및 패드, 슬러리, 웨이퍼와 같은 소모재의 변화에 따른 신호분석을 하기 위해 제작 되었다. 본 연구에서는 산화막 웨이퍼와 구리막 웨이퍼에 본 시스템을 적용하였다. 음향 방출 센서로 획득한 신호로 Raw 신호 분석, 주파수 분석, 진폭 분석을 통해서 CMP 공정중 발생하는 현상을 분석하였다. 최종적으로 다양한 대역폭의 신호를 음향 방출 센서로 획득하여 CMP 공정 모니터링이 가능함을 확인하고자 하였다.

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.

This work describes an investigation into the feasibility of using an acoustic emission (AE) technique to evaluate the integrity of a composite actuator with a PZT ceramic under electromechanical cyclic loading. AE characteristics have been analyzed in terms of the behavior of the AE count rate and signal waveform in association with the performance degradation of the composite actuator during the cyclic tests. The results showed that the fatigue cracking of the composite actuator with a PZT ceramic occurred only in the PZT ceramic layer, and that the performance degradation caused by the fatigue damage varied immensely depending on the existence of a protecting composite bottom layer. We confirmed the correlations between the fatigue damage mechanisms and AE signal types for the actuators that exhibited multiple modes of fatigue damage; transgranular micro damage, intergranular fatigue cracking, and breakdown by a short circuiting were related to a burst type signal showing a shortly rising and slowly decaying waveform with a comparably low voltage, a continuous type signal showing a gradual rising and slowly decaying waveform with a very high voltage and a burst and continuous type signal with a high voltage, respectively. Results from the present work showed that the evolution of fatigue damage in the composite actuator with a PZT ceramic can be nondestructively identified via in situ AE monitoring and microscopic observations.

The feasibility of using AE for detecting contact and slip between a workpiece and an end effector has been tested. Specifically, the relationship between the contact and slip motion and the characteristics of the AE signal is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results manifest that the high sensitivity of AE signal to the contact and slip makes it a good alternative as a robot tactile sensor.

Detecting acoustic emission (AE) provides an appropriate method to diagonize on-line transformers, since acoustic signal is not influenced by strong electric field. Then AE versus AE signal processing method is investigated. But this processing is difficult that decision of starting point of AE wave with acoustic noise. This problem is sloved by correlation which calculate time interval between two signals eactly. This paper presents a technique locating the eact position of the partial discharge (PD) in a power transformer by the correlation of the AE signals from two ultrasonic sensors. And PD position is displayed on monitor. Laboratory tests confirmed that the proposed method can be used for locating the PD in power transformer.

This study was investigated the feasibility of AE application on in-process detection of tool fracture and chipping. Carbon steel SM45C workpiece with longitudinal slots was turned interruptedly on a lathe. AE RMS signal at tool fracture was observed and also the tangential force and the feed observed at the time of tool fracture, the levels of tangential force and the feed force at the time of fracture decrease considerably. In chipping, high level AE signal was observed but there were no changes of cutting force. Peak AE RMS squared is proportional to the area of tool fracture and resultant force. Fracture model of tool fracture is proposed as $V_{p}$ = $C_{1}$ $E_{1}$F(.DELTA. A)$_{0.5}$ and peak AE RMS shows strong correlation with the fracture parameter F(.DELTA.A)$^{0.5}$.

In this experimental research, fracture mechanisms of spheroidal graphite cast iron (As Cast, annealed and normalized) were investigated by using Acoustic Emission (AE) technique. In this study, the data (AE signal) are digitized and processed with the 8 bits micro-computer (APPLE II) connected to the AE measuring device without data processing unit. The source of AE signal was estimated by fractography analysis. The results obtained in this experimental study are summarized as follows : For the heterogeneous materials (spheroidal graphite cast iron) with inclusions which may considered as cracks, it is found that low and high AE amplitude appear simultaneously and the load is found to be fluctuated in the final stage of deformation. But the lad is not fluctuated in tension test with low AE amplitude only. AE is measured within elastic region and it is confirmed that 0.2% offset yield load agrees approximately with the load point where AE counts decrease steeply after the point of maximum AE counts.

This paper investigates the relationship between cutting conditions and Acoustic Emission(AE) signals; AEavg, AErms, AEmode, as the base working to monitor the tool wear with in-process. For this purpose, cutting tests were conducted on a CNC lathe with comprehensive cutting conditions.. It is known that AEavg and AErms are proportionaly increased as the increasing of cutting velocity and depth of cut respectively. It is also known that AEmode among three kinds of AE signals may be applied for in-process monitoring to make the self diagnosis system because of its stability to the variation of cutting condition.

A wireless acoustic emission (AE) system has been developed for continuous monitoring of rotating structures such as turbine rotors. The cable between preamplifier and signal processing unit of a conventional AE system was replaced by the frequency modulated telemetry. The detected signals were modulated and transmitted as an RF signals by the transmitting module, then received and demodulated by the receiving module. The distance between the transmitting and the receiving antennas could be separated up to 10cm within a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio. The simulated AE signals generated by pencil lead breaks from rotating structures were successfully detected using the developed wireless AE monitoring system.
