REVIEW ON APPLICATION OF ACOUSTIC EMISSION TECHNIQUE IN VARIOUS FIELD

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

One of the salient features of acoustic emission technique (AET) is the dynamic non-destructive detection of defects in structures. The reviews applications of acoustic emission sensing techniques in machining. Originally applied to non-destructive testing of structures but now Acoustic Emission Signals are proving to be an effective tool for monitoring of the machining process due to its sensitivity to process parameters. The source of AE is attributed to the release of stored elastic energy that manifests itself in the form of elastic waves that propagate in all directions on the surface of a material. These detectable AE waves can provide useful information about the health condition of a machine and the process. The Acoustic Emission (AE) technique combined with scanning electron microscopy observations was used to identify the typical damage mechanisms and to follow their evolution. This identification was made with a statistical multivariable analysis in which the number of parameters and classes was optimised. Finally, the participation of each damage mechanism to the global failure was evaluated from the hits number and AE energy.
