A number of experimental studies on burr formation in face milling operations have been pursued. They usually focus on machining parameters such as depth of cut, leed rate, spindle speed and in-plane exit angle. But it if difficult to set the correlation between burrs and the parameters on burr when such parameters are considered at the same time. Therefore, in this paper, acoustic emission (AE) is considered as an alternate way to predict burr types regardless of machining conditions. AE signals during face milling were sampled and processed, then fed into an artificial neural network to classify burr types \\\"on-line\\\".\\\".uot;.

For the diagnosis of compressor abnormal condition in air-conditioner, AE signal which is derived from wear condition, compressed air and assembly error is analyzed experimentally. The burst and continuous type AE signal occurred by metal contact and compressed air and AE raw signal of compressors were directly acquired in production line. After extracting samples according to waveforms, Early Life Test(ELT) is conducted and classified to normal and abnormal waveform. The efficient parameters of waveform pattern are investigated in time and frequency domain and the diagnosis algorithm of air-conditioner by Neural Network estimation is suggested.

Damage Profess of CFRP laminates under monotonic tensile test was characterized by the correlation between Acoustic Emission(AE) and Ultrasonic Test(UT). The amplitude distribution of AE signal from a specimens is an aid to the determination of the extent of the different fracture mechanism such as matrix crack, debonding, fiber pullout and fiber fracture as load is increased. In addtion, the characteristics of ultrasonic amplitude attenuation are useful lot analysis of the different type of fracture mechanism. Different orientation of carbon fiber reinforced plastic specimens were used to investigate the AE amplitude range and ultrasonic amplitude attenuation. Finally, loading-unloading tests were carried out to check Felicity effect. During the tests, ultrasonic amplitude attenuation was investigated at the same time and compared with AE parameters. The result showed that two parameters of both AE and UT could be effectively used for analysis of fracture mechanism in CFRP laminates.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of small punch(SP) test using miniaturized specimens as a method for fracture strength evaluation of CANDU pressure tube embrittled by hydrogen. According to the test results, the fracture strength evaluation as a function of hydrogen concentration at $-196^{\circ}C$ was much better than that at room temperature, as the difference of SP fracture energy(Esp) with hydrogen concentration was more significant at $-196^{\circ}C$ than at room temperature for the hydrogen concentration up to 300ppm-H. It was also observed that the peak of average AE energy, the cumulative average AE energy and the cumulative average AE energy per equivalent fracture, strain increased with the increase of hydrogen concentration. From the results of load-displacement behaviors, Esp behaviors, macro- and micro-SEM fractographs and AE test it has been concluded that the SP test method using miniaturized specimen($10mm{\times}10mm{\times}0.5mm$) will be a useful test method to evaluate the fracture strength for CANDU pressure tube embrittled by hydrogen.
