This paper aims at reviewing the Possibility application over normal or abnormal, detection used by AE and the wear characteristics of grinding process. In this study, when diamond bur in dentistry with chosen grinding conditions were tuned at grinding. The variation of grinding resistance and hE signal is detected by the use of AE measuring system. The tests are carried out in accordance with diamond burs and workpiece; arcyl and bovine. According to the experiment results, the following can be expected; AE has the possibility to detect the state normality and abnormality. However, the grinding resistance measuring can find it difficult to detect it. It can be accurately excerpted from AE occurrence pattern in contact start point of diamond bur and bovine, grinding condition and derailment point. It is known that AE$\_$rms/ is well compatible with grinding resistance. According to the increase of the material removal rate, the specific energy of the diamond bur is inclined to decrease and the grinding resistance has a tendency to increase.

By using the relation between stress intensity factor and AE parameter, new approach method for assessing the crack length and detectability of crack was proposed. Laboratory experiment was carried out to identify AE characteristics of fatigue cracks for compact tension specimen. The relationship between a stress intensity factor and AE signals activity as well as conventional AE parameter analysis was discussed. As a result, the features of specific parameter such as the length of crack growth the AE energy, the AE peak amplitude, and the cumulative AE hits, showed the almost same trend in their increase as the number of fatigue cycle increased. From the comparisons of peak amplitude and AE energy with stress intensity factor, it was verified that the higher stress intensity factors generated AE signals with higher peak amplitude and a larger number of AE counts. If we can get more reliable database for the relation between AE parameters and stress intensity factor, this approach will provide a good information for evaluating both the existence of crack and the minimum detectable size of crack.

An experimental study to investigate the unconventional chip formation called triangulation of chip in cutting with a SPRT (self-propelled rotary tool) is performed using acoustic emission (AE) signal analysis. In doing that, a quantitative model of the AE RMS signal in triangulation with a SPRT is first developed. The predicted results from this model show good correlation between the AE RMS signal and the general characteristics of triangular chip formation. Then, effects of various process parameters such as cutting conditions (cutting speed, depth of cut, oblique angle and normal rake angle) and the work material properties on the chip formation in cutting with a SPRT are explored. Special attention is paid to the work material properties which are found to have significant effects on triangulation.

This paper is investigated of hardness and adhesiveness of plasma sprayed coating steels by AE(Acoustic Emission) testing when loading a tensile. AE Parameters used are Event, Count, Energy and Amplitude. Test specimens are carbon steel(S45C) with sprayed coating layers of Ni-4.5wt.%Al(bond coating) and $TiO_2$(top coating), and carry out heat treatment at $800^{\circ}C\;and\;1000^{\circ}C$, respectively. The micro-hardness of the heat treatment specimen have been improved more than that of non-heat treatment. On the tensile test, the process and occurence of the exfoliation of the sprayed coating layer can be estimated by AE Characteristics of AE parameters, such as event, count, amplitude and energy, on the layer exfoliation are shown the similar aspects. The exfoliation of bond coating occure at about 20% of strain and top coating is about 5% of strain.

In tis study the effects of the maximum grit depth of cut on the grinding characteristics were investigated. They are AE signals produced during grinding processes have been studied to find out the appropriate AE parameters for assessing grinding processes. SM45C steel has been ground under the conditions yielding removal rate of workpiece 100, 200,300, and 400m{{{{ {m }^{3 } }}}}/min which was achieved by altering workpiece velocity(v) and apparent depth of cut(Z). According to the experimental result the value of surface roughness increases but grinding power energy rate of AE signal(AErmas2) and specific grinding energy consumed decrease as increasing the maximum grit depth of cut.

In this study, acoustic emission(AE) technique has been applied to detecting quench which is one of the serious peoblems to assure the integrity of superconducting coil at cryogenic temperature. The characteristics of AE parameters have been analyzed by correlating with the number of quenches, whinding tension of superconducting coil and charge rate of transport current. The quench localization was also performed using AE signals and there was also good correlation between quench current and AE parameters such as AE energy and AE events. In this study, it was confirmed that AE signals were mainly due to the conductor motion which caused by premature quenching. It was also found that optimized winding tension at superconducting coil was needed to prevent quench caused by conductor motion.

This study investigated the effect of allium vegetable intake on the storage and utilization of energy substrates before, during, and after exercise in tissues of rats. Ninety rats were fed either a control diet or a diet with added Allium sativum (AS, garlic), Allium cepa (AC, onion), Allium fistulosum (AF, spring onion), or Allium tuberosum (AT, Chinese chives) for 4 weeks and were then subdivided into 3 groups: before-exercise (BE); during-exercise (DE); after-exercise (AE). The DE group was exercised on treadmill for 1 hour just before being sacrificed at the end of 4th week of the dietary treatment rats in the AE group were allowed to recuperate for 2 hours after being exercised like the DE group. The levels of glycogen (GLY), triglyceride (TG) and protein (PRO) were compared in liver and skeletal muscle. In the AS diet animals, the level of liver GLY was significantly higher than those of control animals in the BE, DE and AE groups. The level of muscle TG also tended to be higher in BE, but lower in AE than in control animals. In AC animals, the level of muscle GLY was significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE. The level of muscle TG also tended to be higher than those of control animals in BE and DE but tended to be lower in AE. In AF animals, the level of muscle GLY was significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE. The level of muscle TG was also significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE groups. In AT animals, the level of muscle GLY was significantly lower than those of control animals in BE, DE and AE. These results suggest that Allium sativum diets enhance the capacity to store fuel before as well as during exercise and increases the potential to utilize the stored fuel during exercise.

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.
