Demand for now nondestructive evaluation are growing to detect fatigue crack growth behavior to predict long term performance of materials and structure in aggressive environments especially when they are In non-visible area. Acoustic emission technique is well suited to these problems and has drawn a keen interests because of its dynamic detection ability, extreme sensitivity and location of growing defects. In this study, we analysed acoustic emission signals obtained in fatigue and tensile test of high strength fire resistance steel for frame structure with time-frequency analysis methods. The main frequency range is different in the noise and the fatigue crack propagation. It could be classified that it were also generated by composite fracture mechanics of cleavage, dimple, inclusion separation etc.

This paper dealt with the frequency component analysis of acoustic signals produced by corona and series-arc discharges as a diagnostic technique for closed-switchboards. Corona and series-arc discharge were simulated by a needle-plane electrode and an arc generator specified in UL1699, respectively. Acoustic signal was detected by a wideband acoustic sensor with a frequency bandwidth of 4 Hz~100 kHz (-3 dB). We analyzed frequency spectrums of the acoustic signals detected in various discharge conditions. The results showed that acoustic signals mainly exist in ranges from 30 kHz to 60 kHz. From the experimental results, an acoustic detection system which consists of a constant current power supply (CCP), a low noise amplifier (LNA) and a band pass filter was designed and fabricated. The CCP separates the signal component from the DC source of acoustic sensor, and the LNA has a gain of 40 dB in ranges of 280 Hz~320 kHz. The high and the low cut-off frequency are 30 kHz and 60 kHz, respectively. We could detect corona and series-arc discharges without any interference by the acoustic detection system, and the best frequency is considered in ranges of 30 kHz~60 kHz.

Acoustic characteristics in an industrial gas-turbine combustor are numerically investigated by adopting linear acoustic analysis. Spatially non-homogeneous temperature field in the combustor is considered in the numerical calculation and the characteristics are analyzed in view of acoustic instability. Acoustic analysis are conducted in the combustors without and with acoustic resonator, which is one of combustion stabilization devices. It has been reported that severe pressure fluctuation frequently occurs in the adopted combustor, and the measured signal of pressure oscillation is compared with the acoustic-pressure response from the numerical calculation. The numerical results are in a good agreement with the measurement data. In this regard, the phenomenon of pressure fluctuation in the combustor could be caused by acoustic instability. The acoustic effects of the resonators are analyzed in the viewpoints of both the frequency tuning and the damping capacity.

Scanning Acoustic Microscope (SAM) is used as an important nondestructive test tool in semiconductor reliability evaluation and failure analysis. However, inspections of chip attach adhesive interface fer thin chip has proven difficulty as the reflected signals from the chip top and bottom are superimposed. In this paper, in order to overcome this difficulty, a new signal processing method based on the deconvolution technique combined with the wavelet transform is proposed. The wavelet transform complements a disability of deconvolution technique of which performance largely decreases when the waveform of target signal is not identical to that of reference signal. Performances of the proposed method are demonstrated by through computer simulations using model signal and experiments for the fabricated semiconductor samples, and satisfactory results are obtained.

본 논문에서는 수중에서 초음파를 이용한 디지털 통신 시스템의 성능평가를 위한 수중 초음파 벡터 채널 시뮬레이터를 설계하였다. 채널 시뮬레이터는 송신단, 수중 채널 모델, 수신단, 빔형성기, 적응등화기로 구성되어 있다. 사용자가 원하는 매개변수를 입력하면 이에 따른 QPSK 신호가 발생되어 전송되며, 전송된 신호는 수중 초음파 전달 채널에서 입력된 채널 매개변수에 따라 시간지연, 진폭 및 도플러 주파수가 서로 다른 다중경로 신호가 생성되고, 생성된 다중경로 신호는 수중 잡음과 더해져서 수신기에 수신되도록 하였다. 또한 수신단에서는 안테나 배열과 안테나 소자의 위치에 따라 각 안테나 소자에 위상이 서로 다른 신호가 수신되도록 하였으며, 이 신호를 이용하여 여러 가지 배열 안테나의 구조, 배열 안테나 시스템용 알고리즘 및 적응 등화기 알고리즘에 따른 시스템의 성능을 비교 분석할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

Acoustic characteristics in an industrial gas-turbine combustor are numerically investigated by a linear acoustic analysis. Spatially non-homogeneous temperature field in the combustor is considered in the numerical calculation and the characteristics are analyzed in view of acoustic instability. Acoustic analyses are conducted in the combustors without and with acoustic resonator, which is one of the acoustic-damping devices or combustion stabilization devices. It has been reported that severe pressure fluctuation frequently occurs in the adopted combustor, and the measured signal of pressure oscillation is compared with the acoustic-pressure response from the numerical calculation. The numerical results are in good agreement with the measurement data. In this regard. the phenomenon of pressure fluctuation in the combustor could be caused by acoustic instability. From the numerical results for the combustor with present acoustic resonators installed, the acoustic effects of the resonators are analyzed in the viewpoints of both the frequency tuning and the damping capacity. It is found that the resonators with present specifications are not optimized and thus, the improved specification or design is required.

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 study was carried out fusion-welded butt joints in SWS 490A high strength steel subjected to tensile test that load-deflection curve. The windowed or short-time Fourier transform(WFT or STFT) makes possible for the analysis of non-stationary or transient signals into a joint time-frequency domain and the wavelet transform(WT) is used to decompose the acoustic emission(AE) signal into various discrete series of sequences over different frequency bands. In this paper, for acoustic emission signal analysis to use a continuous wavelet transform, in which the Gabor wavelet base on a Gaussian window function is applied to the time-frequency domain. A wavelet transform is demonstrated and the plots are very powerful in the recognition of the acoustic emission features. As a result, the technique of acoustic emission is ideally suited to study variables which control time and stress dependent fracture or damage process in metallic materials.

ThisPaper investigates the feasibility of using acoustic emission signal analysis for the detection of built-up edge during machining. Experiments were conducted on a CNC-lathe using conventional carbide insert tools under various cutting conditions. The cutting forces were also measured for comparisons. Experimental evidence is presented which indicates that the presence of a built-up edge can significantly affect the generation of acoustic emission in metal cutting. It is shown that under conditions in which a built-up edge is generated, the variation of $AE_{rms}$ signal with cutting speed can be quite different from the generally accepted linear, monotonic increase as previously reported. The feasibility of utilizing $AE_{rms}$ in built-up edge sensing is suggested.
