This study will focus on the detection of misfire using Acoustic emission sensor in a multi-cylinder diesel engine. Detection of misfire is important since this malfunction can cause the engine to stall in a short time. In order to investigate the misfire, an experimental engine was run with and without injection of the fuel in the first cylinder. The acoustic emission signal was acquired synchronously with the crank angle signal, in order to have a reference for the transformation from time to angular domain. The AE signal was then processed using the squared envelope spectrum to highlight angle-periodic modulations in the signal’s power (cyclic bursts). This study will present the effectiveness of this combination of sensor technology and signal processing to detect misfire in a six-cylinder diesel engine connected to a hydraulic dynamometer.

This work presents an experiment research on Acoustic emission (AE) signal and the surface roughness of cylindrical plunge grinding with the different infeed time. The changed infeed time of grinding process is researched as an important parameter to compare AE signals and surface roughnesses with the different infeed time in the grinding process. The experiment results show the AE signal is increased by the increased feed rate. In the infeed period of the grinding process, the surface roughness is increased at first, and then is decreased.

In hard turning, tool wear of cutting tool crossing the limit is highly undesirable because it adversely affects the surface finish. Hence continuous, online tool wear monitoring during the process is essential. The analysis of Acoustic Emission (AE) signal generated during conventional machining has been studied by many investigators for understanding the process of metal cutting and tool wear phenomena. In this experimental study on hard turning, the skew and kurtosis parameters of root mean square values of AE signal (AERMS) have been used for online monitoring of a Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) tool wear.

The valve is one of the important parts of the reciprocating compressor, which directly affects the thermodynamic process and reliability of the compressor. In this paper, acoustic emission (AE) technology is used to predict the dynamic characteristics of valves. The AE signal of the compressor valve is analyzed based on the deep learning method, and the mapping relation between the AE signal and the dynamic characteristics of the valve is obtained. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the models trained by Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) artificial neural network and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is 97% and 95%, respectively, which can accurately predict the dynamic characteristics of the valve. Although the prediction results of CNN are slightly lower than that of LSTM network, the calculation speed of CNN is relatively faster.

An electrical discharge is a phenomenon of ionization of an insulating material. Ionization can occur when the stress applied to the insulating material begins to close to the maximum value of stress can be restrained. In this study, a high voltage was given on a point-plane electrode that would produce ionization (discharge) on the gap of the electrode. The point-plane electrode was placed in an iron tank containing oil insulation. The distance of a gap between the electrodes varies from 2 mm to 4 mm. Then, the signal from the occurrence of electrical discharge was capture using an acoustic emission (AE) sensor placed on the outside of the tank wall. The detected acoustic emission signal was amplified with a 40 dB amplifier, so the signal would be easier to analyze. At the other condition, a solid layer of insulation with a thickness of 4 mm would also be placed on the gap the electrode. The result of the signal analysis showed small differences in the intensity of the detected AE signal at all the distance of electrode gaps. The main frequency component of the detected AE signal at all electrode gaps was several hundred kilohertz.

The paper investigates the features of deformation and fracture of steels obtained using the technology of 3D printing by electric arc surfacing based on the registration of the acoustic emission signal. With a decrease in the test temperature of 07Cr25Ni13 steel, a decrease in the work expended in stretching the specimen is observed, both at the stage of elastic deformation and at the stage of strain hardening. It was found that the most informative characteristic parameters of the AE signal include: the pulse count rate N, the total count NΣ, and the AE signal entropy. With a decrease in the test temperature, there is a significant increase in the intensity of the AE signal, the total number of pulses at all stages of deformation and destruction of steel. The obtained regularities of changes in the characteristic parameters of the AE signal can be used as diagnostic features, both in assessing the stage of deformation and destruction of the material, and the structural state of the material. Fractographic studies have shown a significant decrease in the tough component of 08Mn2Si steel with a decrease in the test temperature. The fracture mechanisms of 07Cr25Ni13 steel change insignificantly with decreasing temperature, however, a significant decrease in the ductility of the metal is observed, as evidenced by a decrease in the size of ductile fracture cups.

In order to detect acoustic emission (AE) signals which are transient elastic waves generated by rapid release of strain energy derived from deformation in materials etc., general AE sensors were fabricated by using a piezoelectric film for detection of AE signals. However, these sensors required frequency domain analysis after recording AE signal. Therefore, this research has been developing an AE sensor integrated with cantilever array with different resonant frequencies for detection of AE signals divided into frequency domain by using MEMS techniques. In this paper, a design of cantilever structures was executed. Theoretical analysis and simulation using ANSYS software revealed that a resonant frequency of a cantilever was increased with decrease of its length in the range from 100 k to 1 MHz. Therefore, fabrication and frequency characterization of a cantilever array fabricated in our batch fabrication process were executed.

Frequency spectrum analysis of acoustic emission (AE) signal has been carried out during breakaway oxidation and internal cracking of oxide scales formed on 2.25Cr-1Mo steel. Three regions viz pre-breakaway, post-breakaway and internal cracking of scales have been distinguished based upon thermogravimetric analysis and SEM/EPMA observations. The frequency pattern of the AE signal obtained in three different regions shows three different characteristic features. Frequency spectra based upon the predominant frequencies have been correlated with the physical phenomena occurring during the course of oxidation.

In order to differentiate the porcelain quality, the paper introduces the All Phase spectrum analysis technology and studies on analyzing porcelain acoustic emission (AE) signal. As for the energy leakage by traditional signal truncation method in processing the signal, the all phase truncation method somewhat reduce the leakage which affects the follow-up porcelain quality discrimination. All instances consisting sample point are considered and weighted average technology is introduced to make amplitude-frequency clearer. According to the simulation, the energy leakage based on all phase signal processing is weakened and the spectrum is able to be accurate. It is more beneficial to the follow-up porcelain quality discrimination.
