From a manufacturing standpoint it would be desirable to monitor the degradation of drawing die, that is essential for the maintenance of quality, the evaluation of product integrity and the reducing scrap. Acoustic emission is powerful method in monitoring fine wire drawing process, especially in detecting the die fracture at early stage. Experiments at so suggested that acoustic emission signals contained valuable information regarding the stage of a drawing process such as the surface appearance of products and the condition of lubrication. Using these informations makes AE monitoring techniques a possible tool in monitoring the drawing process operation. In order to approach this, this paper discusses the nature of acoustic emission signals produced in drawing process under various conditions. Experimental results are presented which illustrate the effects of wire and die material, lubricants, and drawing speed on the generation and the mean voltage level of acoustic emission signals. The results from these tests give controlling factors of acoustic emission generation.

The use of acoustic emission (AE) technique for detecting and monitoring damages and the progress on damages in different structures is widely used and has earned a reputation as one of the most reliable and well-established technique in non-destructive testing (NDT). Acoustic Emission is a very efficient and effective technology used for fracture behavior and fatigue detection in metals, fiberglass, wood, composites, ceramics, concrete and plastics. It can also be used for detecting faults and pressure leaks in vessels, tanks, pipes, as well as for monitoring the progression of corrosion in welding. This paper reviews major research developments over the past few years in application of acoustic emission in numerous engineering fields, including manufacturing, civil, aerospace and material engineering.

Recently, the wide range of the composite materials is used for the making airplanes, trains and automobiles body for the lightweight. Despite having complex structures, composite materials usually have well defined mechanical characteristics. However, composite materials are difficult to understand the fracture mechanism clearly by simple mechanical test. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) combined with mechanical testing can play a more important role and especially Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) would become known to be a useful tool to assess damage and fracture behavior of composites. In this study The experiment was performed to acquire the acoustic emission signal during tensile test using unidirectional CFRP specimen and the data was analyzed the acoustic emission parameters with the waveform.

Acoustic emission technology is applied to diagnosis the internal leak and operating conditions of the major valves at nuclear power plants. The purpose of this study is to verify availability of the acoustic emission as in-situ diagnosis method. In this study, acoustic emission tests are performed when the pressurized high temperature steam flowed through gate valve(1st stage reheater valve) and glove valve(main steam dump valve) on the normal size of 4 and 8". The valve internal leak diagnosis system for practical field was designed. The acoustic emission method was applied to the valves at the site, and the background noise was measured for the abnormal plant condition. To improve the reliability, a judgment of leak on the system was used various factors which are AE parameters, trend analysis, signal level analysis and RMS(root mean square) analysis of acoustic signal emitted from the valve operating condition internal leak.

Demand for new nondestructive evaluations is growing to detect tensile crack growth behavior to predict long term performance of materials and structure in aggressive environments, especially when they are in non-visible area. Acoustic emission technique is well suited to these problems and has drawn a keen interests because of its dynamic detection ability, extreme sensitivity and location of growing defects. In this study, we analysed acoustic emission signals obtained in tensile test of high strength fire resistance steel for frame structure with time frequency analysis methods. The results obtained are summaries as follows ; In the T and TN specimen consisting of ferrite and pearlite grains, most of acoustic emission events were produced near yield point, mainly due to the dislocation activities during the deformation. However, B specimen under $600^{\circ}C$ - 10min had a two peak which was attribute to the presence of martensite phase. The first peak is before yield point the second is after yield point. The sources of second acoustic emission peak were the debonding of martensite-martensite interface and the micro-cracking of brittle martensite phase. In $600^{\circ}C$-30min to $700^{\circ}C$-60min specimens, many signals were observed from area before yield point and counts were decreased after yield point.

A method is presented for diagnosing the converter bearings by using acoustic emission. The flaking mechanism causing the large-scale bearing for furnace to flaw is investigated and a possibility of defect is verified by Finite Element method. he diagnosis logic is proposed fir detecting the flaw of a non-continuous rotating machine. It is proved that the acoustic emission energy can be used as a representative parameter for an acoustic event. Applying the method to the tilting bearings for steel mill in operation, the effectiveness of this logic is evaluated. It is shown that AE signal is generated only when the bearing is tilting, and the trend analysis can be focused upon this process.

암석 재료의 변형에 따른 미시적 파괴 현상으로부터 발생하는 미소파괴음(Acoustic Emission, AE)을 측정하여 암석 구조물 내의 미세균열의 생성과 전파를 탐지하는 연구는 지하 암반 구조물의 안정성을 비파괴검사로 평가하는데 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 암반 구조물의 보강재로 사용되는 콘크리트와 대리석 암석 시험관에 대하여 전과정 응력-변형률 곡선을 얻기 위한 강성압축시험을 실시하였고, 시험 중에 미소파괴음 발생을 측정하여 미소파괴음 파라미터 분석 및 음원추적을 수행하여 대리석과 콘크리트의 변형 및 파괴거동 특성을 살펴보았다. 또한 시험편에 계단식 반복재하시험을 수행하여 그 변형거동을 고찰하였으며, 미소파괴음 측정을 통하여 재료의 손상, 암반의 현지응력 및 콘크리트 구조물의 응력이력 등과 관련된 카이저효과를 검증하였다

The objective this study is to estimate the feasibility of acoustic emission method for the internal leak from the valves in nuclear power plants. From the experimental results, it was suggested that the acoustic emission method for monitoring of leak was feasible. When the background levels are higher than the acoustic signals from leak, we can detect the leak analyzing the spectrum of the remainders which take the background noise from the acoustic signals.

최근 음향방출(Acoustic Emission, AE) 센서를 이용하여 지하 암반 내 구조물의 손상을 평가하는 기법이 활발하게 사용되고 있다. 암반 손상 시 발생되는 미소파괴음은 시간 및 주파수 영역에서 다양한 음향방출 특성인자로 분석된다. 암반 내 초기 균열 발생부터 최종 파괴까지의 특징을 파악하기 위해서는 외부응력 수준과 암반 강도에 따른 음향방출 특성인자 발생 양상을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 경암과 연암 강도를 가진 화강암 시편을 이용하여 일축 압축시험을 수행하여, 암석 시편 파괴 시 발생하는 음향방출 특성인자를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 응력 비율이 증가할수록 이벤트 횟수, 실효값, 최대 진폭, 절대 에너지가 경암 시편에서 연암 시편 보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 또한, 주파수 관련 특성인자는 응력 비율 증가나 시편의 물성특성에 대해 민감도가 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 암석 시편 파괴에 따른 음향방출 특성인자 분석 결과, 실효값(RMS)이 가장 민감한 인자로 평가되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 음향방출 기반 모니터링 수행 시 암반 손상 정도 평가를 위하여 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
