In detail of fracture and mechanical properties to carbon/BMI$(\pm 45^\circ)_{2s}$ discusses by acoustic emission and tensile testing. The bismaleimide resin from Boots Technochemie Co. was toughened by TM 120 from same Co. The weight proportions of TM 120 were fixed as 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25phr. The 0.2phr of 1, 4-diazobicyclo-(2, 2, 2)-octane(DABC0) was used as the accelerator. The used carbon fiber was T300 from Toray Co. The optimum additional proportion of TM120 was proved as 20phr by mechanical testing and at the same time by the results of acoustic emission. toughening agent gives significant influences on the fracture phenomena and mechanical strength.

Composite materials have been used in aerospace industry and many applications because of many advantages such as specific strength and stiffness and corrosion resistance etc. However, it is vulnerable to impacts, these impact lead to formation of cracks in composite laminate and failure of structures. In this paper, we analyzed Mode I fracture toughness of Carbon/Epoxy laminates using acoustic emission signal. DCB test was carried out to analyze Mode I failure characterization of Carbon/Epoxy laminates, and AE sensor was attached to measure AE signal induced by failure of specimen. Fracture toughness was calculated using cumulative AE energy and measured crack length using camera. The calculated fracture toughness was applied in FE model and the result of FE analysis compared with DCB test results. The results show good agreement with between FEM and DCB test results.

The acoustic emission(AE) behavior of reinforced concrete slab under flexural loading was investigated to assess the integrity. This study was aimed at identifying the characteristics of AE response associated with damage development. By applying cyclic loading in various load steps, it was able to differentiate each AE source such as distributed micro crack initiation, friction, flexural crack and localized diagonal tension crack. The secondary peak and the change of AE hit rate gave valuable criteria fur assessment. From the analysis of the felicity ratio, furthermore, it was shown that this values can be used for evaluating the degree of concrete damage. Based on the experimental results, this approach for practical AE application may provide a promising method for estimating the level of damage and distress in concrete structures.

Acoustic emission (AE) technique has been applied to not only mechanical property testing but also on-line monitoring of the el)tire structure or a limit zone only. Although several AE devices have already been developed for the on-line monitoring, the price of these systems is very high and it is difficult for the field to apply yet. In this study, wc developed a specially designed PC-based source location system using the A/D board. The source location technique is very important to identify the source, such as crack, leak detection. However, since the AE waveforms obtained from transducers are very difficult to distinguish the defect signals, therefore, it is necessary to consider the signal analyses of the transient waveform. Wavelet Transform (WT) is a powerful tool for processing transient signals with temporally varying spectra that helps to resolve high and low frequency transients components effectively In this study, the analyses of the AE signals are presented by employing the WT analyses. AE results are compared the PC-based source location system using A/D board with the commercial AE system.

클래딩은 주요 산업분야에 내마모성, 내부식성의 향상을 위해 사용되고 있다. 그러나 클래딩 공정에서는 모재와 클래딩 재료의 물리적, 화학적 특성의 차이와 여러 가지 공정 변수의 영향으로 제품의 사용에 치명적인 손상을 줄 수 있는 균열, 슬래그 개재물, 기공등의 불연속이 발생하기 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 클래딩 시에 발생되는 불연속을 실시간으로 검출하는데 아주 우수한 검출능력을 갖고 있는 비파괴 검사 방법인 음향방출시험을 적용하고 검출된 신호에 대한 주파수 분석과 2차원 위치표정을 실시하여 균열, 기공 등의 불연속을 검출하였고 이를 주사전자현미경을 통하여 확인하였다. 음향방출법에 의해 클래딩부에서 발생하는 결함에 대한 실시간 평가가 가능함을 입증하였으며, 특히 다층 클래딩이나 넓은 면적의 클래딩시에 불연속을 가장 신속하게 감지할 수 있으므로 이를 생산공정에 활용한다면 클래딩 또는 용접부 품질감시를 위한 효과적인 방법이 될 것이다.

In this study, the compressive deformation behaviors of aluminum alloy under high strain rates were investigated by means of a SHPB test. An acoustic emission (AE) technique was also employed to monitor the signals detected from the deformation during the entire impact by using an AE sensor connected to the specimen with a waveguide in real time. AE signals were analyzed in terms of AE amplitude, AE energy and peak frequency. The impacted specimen surface and side area were observed after the test to identify the particular features in the AE signal corresponding to the specific types of damage mechanisms. As the strain increased, the AE amplitude and AE energy increased whereas the AE peak frequency decreased. It was elucidated that each AE signal was closely associated with the specific damage mechanism in the material.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of crack opening and closure in the AE activities during fatigue test. Laboratory experiment using various materials and test conditions were carried out to identify AE characteristics of fatigue crack propagation. Compact tension specimens of 2024-T4 and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy were prepared for fatigue test. AE activities were analyzed based on the phase of the loading cycle. Generally, most of AE were generated when the crack begins' opening and the crack closes fully, whereas a few in the pull opening of the crack. Also AE activity in the peak loading of cycle was different with each specimen. However, in the same material, AE activity was not affected by the change of cyclic frequency (0.1, 0.2, 1.0Hz). It was found that AE activities during crack opening and closure depend on material properties such as micro-structure, tensile strength and yield strength.

The acoustic emission automatic detection system is developed to observe tree deterioration phenomena. Applying an alternating voltage of 15(kVnns) toXLPE tree specimens, many pulses of small amplitude are detected when the bush type tree developes branch type and a few pulses of high amplitude prcxluced as branch type propagated to bush type tree. Therefore, it is known that pulses having small amplitude operates as a destructive factor. It is observed that the skewness of the amplitude and the number of average pulses as distribution tendency of three dimension are characteristic quantity of AE pulses. As the trajectory of skewness is farther from the origin on the S-plane, it is more likely to breakdown.
