음향방출(Acoustic Emission, AE) 시스템은 최근 조기 결함 검출 시스템 개발을 위해 적용되고 있으며, 그에 따르는 신호처리 기법에 대한 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 신호처리 기법 중 포락처리(Envelope analysis)가 베어링 결함 분석에 사용되고, Wavelet Transform은 기어 등의 결함 분석에 용이한 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 여전히 AE 신호를 위한 신호처리 기법은 불확실하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AE 시스템을 적용한 조기 결함 검출 시스템 개발을 위한 사전 연구로, AE 신호를 분석하기 위한 신호처리 기법으로 Hilbert Transform(HT)과 Hilbert-Huang Transform(HHT)에 대해 비교 분석한다. AE 신호는 피로시험을 통해 취득되었으며, 취득된 AE 신호를 두 신호처리 기법을 적용하여 주파수 및 시간 신호에 대해 분석하였다. HT에 비해 HHT가 시간-주파수 영역에 대해 결과를 나타내기 때문에 좀 더 명확한 특징을 보이는 데에 반해 신호처리 시간 및 필터링에 대한 단점을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the simulation study. conducted on the propagation characteristics of AE signal. In the case of gas insulation, such as $SF_6$, the equipment is less affected by the environment condition than air insulation, because the component parts of equipment were placed in the enclosure, which is filled with compressed gas. But. when the breakdown in the electric insulation occurs. it takes much time and economical efforts to repair. Therefore it is very important to diagnose the equipment before the accident. And. in general. UHF and AE signal is the most common transducer to diagnose the state of the power equipment, so, in this investigation, we make a experimental apparatus with aluminum plate and transient analysis with ANSYS to observe the propagation characteristics of AE signal. Through the result of the analysis. we can make a further understanding on the propagation characteristics of AE signal, and get the fundamental skills for the GIS diagnosis.

As fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used in aircraft, space structures and robot arms, the study on the non-destructive testing methods of the composite materials has become an important research area for improving their reliability and safety. In this paper, the AE signal analyzer with the resonance circuit to extract the specified frequency of the acoustic emission signal were designed and fabricated. The noise levels of the fabricated AE signal analyzer by the disturbance such as impact or mechanical vibration had a very small value comparable to those of the conventional AE signal analyzer. Also, the crack detection capabilities of the fabricated AE signal analyzer under the static and dynamic tensile test were evaluated and compared with the conventional AE signal analyzer.

The AE measurement is one of the most convenient methods for detecting contacts between the slider and the disk. The AE method has been widely used in the investigation of the tribology of sliding interfaces due to its convenience. We examined the relationship between the AE signal and the flying height of a slider. We investigated the influence of the disk linear velocity on the AE rms signal by using the AE measurement system. The experiment also gives the relationship between the take-off velocity and the disk surface conditions. To investigate the behavior of the slider further, the variances of the AE signals are analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the increase in the magnitude of the AE rms signal does not necessarily mean the slider/disk contacts.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AE characteristics for the basemetal, PWHT (post-weld heat treatment) and weldment specimens of SA-516 steel during fracture testing. Four-point bending and AE tests were conducted simultaneously. AE signals were emitted in the process of plastic deformation. AE signal strength and amplitude of the weldment was the strongest, followed by PWHT specimen and basemetal. More AE signals were emitted from the weldment samples because of the oxides, and discontinuous mechanical properties. AE signal strength and amplitude for the basemetal or PWHT specimen decreased remarkably compared to the weldment because of lower strength. Pre-cracked specimens emitted even lower event counts than the corresponding blunt notched specimens. Dimple fracture from void coalescence mechanism is associated with low-level AE signal strength for the basemetal or PWHT. Tearing mode and dimple formation were shown on the fracture surfaces of the weldment, but only a small fraction produced detectable AE.

The acoustic emission(AE) signal from concrete cylinder specimen during failure process under cycling compressive loads were recorded and analyzed. Different filters were set on the AE signal duration based on the characteristic of amplitude distribution. From the value of AE signal amplitude, which corresponds to the occurrence of the peak for AE hits, the AE signals from concrete compressive specimen were divided into five sections. The relationship between the AE signal section and the failure mechanism of these materials, analyzed on the meso-structure level was determined. Based on the experiments, the AE characteristics of each failure mechanism are given. The results show that the AE technique is a valuable tool to study the failure mechanism of concrete.

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.

Rotary Compressor has many AE(Acoustic Emission) sources according to condition of parts because it is operated with combination of various parts. In this study, analysis of AE raw signal generated form Rotary compressor which artificially-made parts inflicted abnormal condition was carried out. AE raw signals were acquired form high-speed A/D board, and many burst type signals were observed. By analyzing burst type signals which is caused form internal AE source,efficient AE parameters for monitoring and diagnosis were presented.
