The relationship between domain switching and acoustic emission (AE) during poling was investigated using the tetragonal ferroelectric ceramics with composition of (Pb,La)TiO3+0.01MnO2 The amount of AE generation during poling increased with increasing dc electric field and raising temperature. It was confirmed that the change of the amount of AE generation with poling condition resulted from the difference of the amount of 90$^{\circ}$ domain switching and total amount of AE generation for 10 minutes was approximately proportional to the amount of 90$^{\circ}$domain switching. The A generations of two specimens which have different tetragonality rations(c/s rations) 15 at% and 24at% La-doped were also investigated. The sample with c/a ratio of 1.012 where 90$^{\circ}$ domains are dominate had larger amount of AE generation and 90$^{\circ}$ domain switching compared with the sample with c/a ratio of 1.004 where 180$^{\circ}$ domains are dominant.

Fiber fracture is one of the dominant failure phenomena to determine total mechanical properties in composites. Fiber fracture locations were measured by optical microscopic method and acoustic emission (AE) as functions of matrix toughness and surface treatment by the electrodeposition (ED), and then two methods were compared. Two AE sensors were attached on the epoxy specimen and fiber fracture signals were detected with elapsed time. The interfacial shear stress (IFSS) was measured using tensile fragmentation test and AE system. In ED-treated case, the number of the fiber fracture measured by an optical method and AE was more than that of the untreated case. The signal number measured by AE were rather smaller than the number of fragments measured by optical method, since some fiber fracture signals were lost while AE detection. However, one-to-one correspondence between the x-position location by AE and real break positions by optical method was generally established well. The fiber break source location using AE can be a valuable method to measure IFSS for semi- or nontransparent matrix composites nondestructively (NDT).

Turning experiments are conducted to investigate characteristics of acoustic emission due to wear of the coated tool. The AE signals are obtained with a sensor attached to tool holder side. Tool states are identified with scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. It is demonstrated that the AE signals provide reliable informations about the cutting processes and tool states. Moreover, tool wear can be detected successfully using the AE-RMS.

A study on the Correlation of Orthogonal Cutting Parameter (Cutting speed, Depth of cut, Feed Rate) and Acoustic Emission Signal. It is well known that acoustic emission (AE) is the emission of elastic wave resulting from the deformation and fracture of materials. This study estabished correlation of orthogonal cutting parameter and AE signal, and researched into in-process monitoring of tool wear and failure. The results are as follow; 1. AE RMS was under the influence of cutting speed but hardly influenced by depth of cut and feed rate. 2. AE RMS was under the influence of flank wear. 3. AE count rate increased by increased cutting speed. 4. AE RMS value was rapidly increased in 130 m flank wear.

To compare the sensor performance of AE leak diagnosis system which can measure valve leak conditions, AE activities such as RMS voltage level, AE signal trend, leak rate degree according to AE database, FFT spectrum were measured on valve of the simulated test system for power plant. AE activities were recorded and analyzed from various operating conditions including different temperature, pressure difference, valve size and fluid using both piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor and Pb-Free acoustic emission sensor. The results of this study are utilized to select the type of sensors, the frequency band for filtering and thereby to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for diagnosis or monitoring of valves in operation. As the final result of application study above, portable type leak diagnosis system by AE was developed. The outcome of the study can be definitely applied as a means of the diagnosis or monitoring system for energy saving and prevention of accident for power plant valve.

It is important from prevention of the malfunction and an important accident by the failuer, to detect a failuer in revolution devices. The acoustic emission(AE) method is expected as means that defects an abnormal phenomenon of revolution devices earlily and utilized. Although a research example by the AE method is reported regarding a gears, little reserch has been conducted using the AE method for running gears in a bending fatigue process of spur gear teeth. Therefore, in this report, with two micro AE sensors attached to the side of the gear, AE was measured in a bending fatigue process of a carburizing gear by using the power circurating-type machine and AE source location in gear teeth were required. By various analysis in these data, the AE characteristics in the fatigue damaging process of the gear tooth were determined.

The changes of interfacial properties and microfailure degradation mechanisms of bioabsorbable composites with hydrolysis were investigated using micromechanical test and acoustic emission (AE). As hydrolysis time increased, the tensile strength, the modulus and the elongation of PEA and bioactive glass fibers decreased, whereas those of chitosan fiber changed little. Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of bioactive glass fiber/poly-L-lactide (PLLA) composite was significantly higher than that two other systems. The decreasing rate of IFSS was the fastest in bioactive glass fiber/PLLA composite, whereas that of chitosan fiber/PLLA composite was the slowest. With increasing hydrolysis time, distribution of AE amplitude was narrow, and AE energy decreased gradually.

용접과 관련되는 분야에서, 재료평가와 비파괴 검사법으로서의 Acoustic Emission의 응용을 살펴 보았다. 재료 평가법으로서의 AE는 다른 시험방법들이 검출해 내지 못하는 재료 내부에서의 미시적인 현상들을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 앞으로 새로운 용접재료의 개발이라든지, 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 용접부위의 정량적인 평가를 위해서 AE의 응용은 중요한 정보들을 제공하게 될 것이다. 한편 용접구조물의 비파괴적 평가법으로서의 AE는 균열의 동적인 거동 및 균열의 위치를 검지할 수 있다는 장점 때문에 응용범위는 더욱 넓어질 것이다. 여기서 유의하여야 할 점은, 목적으로 하는 AE신호를 수만배 까지 증폭시키는 과정에서 환경잡음의 영향을 무시할 수 없는 경우에는 우선적으로 잡음을 적극적으로 제거하는 고도의 연구도 함께 병행되어야 한다는 것이다.

The surfaces of machine components in sliding contact such as bearing, gears and pistons etc. frequently operate under the condition of mixed lubrication due to high load, high speed and slip. These machine components often undergo the inception of scuffing in practical application. The scuffing failure is a critical problem in modern machine components, especially for the requirement of high efficiency and small size. However, it is difficult to find a universal mechanism to explain all scuffing phenomena because there are so many factors affecting the onset of scuffing. In this study, scuffing experiments are conducted using Acoustic Emission(AE) measurement by an indirect sensing approach to detect scuffing failure. Acoustic Emission(AE) signal has been widely utilized to monitor the interaction at the friction interface. Using AE signals we can get an indication about the state of the friction processes, about the quality of solid and liquid layers eon the contacting surfaces in real time. The FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)analyses of the AE signal are used to understand the interfacial interaction and the relationship between the AE signal and the state of contact is presented
