Acoustic Emission(AE) is widely used for early detection of faults for rotating machinery in these days because of its high sensitivity. AE signal has to need for transferring to low frequency range for the spectrum analysis included the fault mechanism. In transferring process, we lose a lot of fault information caused by unusable signal processing method. Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) is a method of signal processing for AE signatures, but the pattern of its mother function is not optimized with AE signals. So, we can lose the fault information when we want to use the DWT for AE signal. Therefore, in this paper, we will propose a novel pattern for DWT mother function, which is optimized with AE signals. And it will be applied to compare the results of DWT by daubechie and novel pattern.

항공우주산업에서 구조물의 수명연장과 경제적 측면에서의 효율적인 운용을 위해 다양한 구조건전성모니터링(Structural Health Monitoring, SHM) 기법들이 제시되어왔다. 금속재 구조물의 경우, 수분이나 염분 등에 의한 부식이나 쉽게 응력집중이 발생하는 타공, 노치, 볼트 등과 같은 위치에서의 균열이 주된 관심사였으나, 항공우주산업에서의 복합재 사용비율이 증가함에 따라 손상 메커니즘이 더욱 복잡한 복합재 구조물에 적용이 가능한 고도화된 SHM 시스템의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Q-switched 레이저와 다수의 압전센서를 이용한 복합재에서의 AE(Acoustic emission) 위치탐지 기법을 제시한다. 제시되는 기법은 10 mm 이내의 거리오차로 방출위치 탐지를 목표로 하며 복합재 구조에서 수행된 AE 모사실험 및 위치탐지 시도 결과를 제시하여 기법이 유효함을 증명한다.

It is well known that acoustic emission (AE) is indicator of rock fracturing or damage as rock is brought to failure under the uniaxial compressive loads. In this paper, an experimental study on the source location of acoustic emission on the cylindrical specimens of granite under uniaxial compression test was made. The AE source location was made by measuring the six channel AE data. Comparing to this experiment, the numerical method is applied to model the initiation and propagation of fracture by AE using a numerical code, RFPA (Realistic Failure Process Analysis). This code incorporates the mesoscopic heterogeneity in Young's modulus and rock strength characteristic of rock masses. In the numerical models, values of Young's modulus and rock strength are realized according to a Weibull distribution in which the distribution parameters represent the level of heterogeneity of the medium. The results of the simulations show that RFPA can be used not only to produce acoustic emission similar to those measurements in our experiments, but also to predict fracturing patterns under uniaxial loading condition.

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.

In this study, J-integral values obtained by various methods, i.e, R-Curve, Unloading Compliance, Strectched Zone Width [SZW], and Acoustic Emission [AE] methods are investigated. Elasto-plastic fracture toughness [$J_IC$] estimations by R-curve method are overestimated than those by SZW method, and those by unloading compliance method is around middle value of them. And the difference between them is little. The $J_IC$ value by AE method was almost agreed with that by SZW, and then proved to be useful. Crack propagation mechanism on fractography is a stable ductile fracture. For the identification of ductile fracture, both fractography analysis and AE method were applied to estimate the characteristics more precisely.

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 CFRP-confined circular concrete-filled steel tubular column is composed of concrete, steel, and CFRP. Its failure mechanics are complex. The most important difficulties are lack of an available method to establish a relationship between a specific damage mechanism and its acoustic emission (AE) characteristic parameter. In this study, AE technique was used to monitor the evolution of damage in CFRP-confined circular concrete-filled steel tubular columns. A fuzzy c-means method was developed to determine the relationship between the AE signal and failure mechanisms. Cluster analysis results indicate that the main AE sources include five types: matrix cracking, debonding, fiber fracture, steel buckling, and concrete crushing. This technology can not only totally separate five types of damage sources, but also make it easier to judge the damage evolution process. Furthermore, typical damage waveforms were analyzed through wavelet analysis based on the cluster results, and the damage modes were determined according to the frequency distribution of AE signals.

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.

Recently carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been used structural materials in corrosive environment such as for water, chemical tank and pipes. However, mechanical properties of such materials may be change when CFRP and exposed to corrosive environment for long periods of time. The degradation behavior of carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite material in distilled water is investigated using acoustic emission (AE) technique, Fracture toughness tests are performed on the compact tension specimens that are pilled by two types of $[O_2/9O_2]_{3s}$ and $[O/9O]_6s$. During the testes, AE test was carried out to monitor the damage of CFRP by moisture absorption. The data was treated by 2-parameter Weibull distribution and the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscope.
