This experimental study is mainly investigated on the mean cutting forces and AE(acoustic emission) parameters in order to detect and estimate the tool failure in the pachinig of SUS304 by face milling Mean cutting forces and AE parameters can detect the tool failure in face milling. Effective detection parameters are AE RMS, AE energy, AE count, AE duration, and z-direction mean cutting force. From the analysis of cutting tool failure detection, the tool failure of face milling is caused by sudden increasing of the cutting force.

In this paper, friction welded joints were constructed to investigate the mechanical properties of welded 15-mm diameter solid bars of Mg alloy (AZ31B). The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure reliable quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, impact energy test, Vickers hardness surveys of the bonds in the area and heat affected zone (HAZ), and macrostructure investigations. The study reached the following conclusions. The tensile strength of the friction welded materials (271 MPa) was increased to about 100% of the AZ31B base metal (274 MPa) under the condition of a heating time of 1 s. The metal loss increased lineally with an increase in the heating time. The following optimal friction welding conditions were determined: rotating speed (n) = 2000 rpm, heating pressure (HP) = 35 MPa, upsetting pressure (UP) = 70 MPa, heating time (HT) = 1 s, and upsetting time (UT) = 5 s, for a metal loss (Mo) of 10.2 mm. The hardness distribution of the base metal (BM) showed HV55. All of the BM parts showed levels of hardness that were approximately similar to friction welded materials. The weld interface of the friction welded parts was strongly mixed, which showed a well-combined structure of macro-particles without particle growth or any defects. In addition, an acoustic emission (AE) technique was applied to derive the optimum condition for friction welding the Mg alloy nondestructively. The AE count and energy parameters were useful for evaluating the relationship between the tensile strength and AE parameters based on the friction welding conditions.

Under the AE methods, the valid condition analysis and evaluation the leak etc, resulted by the AE signal pattern on the bottom plate of ground tank at full. In next more, the gradient of accumulation amplitude distribution analysis and comparison the energy, count, and duration time that noise of EMI signal were removed. EMI signal showed height-energy, count, and duration time, it also appeared great gradient of accumulation distribution. Then, with the pure remaining AE signals cluster analysis and location. It would possibly assume of damage with corrosion. Total cluster 20 and energy showed between the maximum 11,990 and 8,565 which is much lower than above figure and event number showed from 8 to 5. Even when it difficult to certify damage by open, as it is raised higher height-sensitivity and threshold by 60 dB. It would possibly presume of location source more accurately.

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.

본 연구에서는 암석폐재를 대상으로 직경이 60mm인 고화체를 얻을 수 있는 수열 hot press 장치를 개발하였고, 고형화를 위한 최적조건을 찾아내는 내용을 다루었다. 이어 고화체의 기계적 성질을 평가하였고, 고화기구와 미시적 파괴거동을 규명하기위하여 SEM관찰 및 음향방출실험을 실시하였다. 고형화를 위한 최적조건은 NaOH용액이 10wt%, 수열온도가 30$0^{\circ}C$이고, 유지시간이 1시간이었다. 또한 수열반응동안에 다양한 제 2화합물들이 생성되었으며, 이들은 고화체의 기계적 성질에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 아울러 원석의 경우에는 AE Counts가 초기화중에서부터 나타났으나, 고화체는 초기하중에서 전혀 AE Counts가 검출되지 않았다. 이와같은 사실로부터 수열 hot press법에 의해 얻어진 고화체는 원석과는 다르게 암석 입자간의 결합이 보다 치밀하게 이루어지고 있음을 유추할 수 있다.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate fracture strength of WA-vitrified and resinoid bond grinding wheels by means of acoustic emission. The paper conducts tension test, compression test, splitting tensile test and bending test with AE measuring system. These tests have been carried out in accordance with the grain sizes and grades of grinding wheels. The fracture strength of grinding wheels is evaluated by the clarification of biaxal fracture criterion of Babel and Sines. It clarifies the influence of factors of grinding wheel upon AE characteristics and evaluates the predictability of life of grinding wheels and the perception of fracture.

This study was carried out to measure the mechanical properties and the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of the carbon fiber reinforced composites of several types of the stacking sequence. AE signals were detected during the tensile tests. The number of ringdown counts, total ringdown counts were plotted together with the load-displacement curves. The tensile load-displacement behavior of specimen is compared and discussed based on the measured AE properties in relation to the failure mechanism. With the increase of load, AE signals increased. This showed that failure had being propagated by matrix deformation and cracking, delamination, fiber debonding and breakage. Felicity ratio has been obtained by observation of ;the Kaiser effect according to the variation of load ratio. The reloading tests showed that the felicity ratio decreased obviously when the load ratio or damage increased. These AE characteristics are hopeful to be employed as the criteria to evaluate the failure processes of composites.

Wireless mesh networks, unlike Ad-hoc network, has low mobility and multi-path communication between terminals and other networks because it has the backbone structures. Most studies are advanced on finding the optimal routing path in multi-hop wireless mesh network environment. Various routing metric, minimum number of hops(Hop_count) and ETX, ETT metric, are proposed to wireless mesh networks. However, most metrics cannot identify the high throughput routing paths because this metric uses a different measurement parameters in each direction. So actual delivery rate does not provide to this metric. This paper describes the metric and implementation of IETC as a metric. This paper shows the improvement in performance.

The acoustic emission (AE) is proposed as a feasible method for the real-time monitoring of the structural damage evolution in concrete materials that are typically used in the storage of nuclear wastes. However, the characteristics of AE signals emitted from concrete structures subjected to various environmental conditions are poorly identified. Therefore, this study examines the AE characteristics of the concrete structures during uniaxial compression, where the storage temperature and immersion conditions of the concrete specimens varied from 15℃ to 75℃ and from completely dry to water-immersion, respectively. Compared with the dry specimens, the water-immersed specimens exhibited significantly reduced uniaxial compressive strengths by approximately 26%, total AE energy by approximately 90%, and max RA value by approximately 70%. As the treatment temperature increased, the strength and AE parameters, such as AE count, AE energy, and RA value, of the dry specimens increased; however, the temperature effect was only minimal for the immersed specimens. This study suggests that the AE technique can capture the mechanical damage evolution of concrete materials, but their AE characteristics can vary with respect to the storage conditions.
