Acoustic emission (AE) phenomenon has a direct relationship with the interaction of tool and material which makes AE the most sensitive one among various process variables. However, its prominent sensitivity also means the characteristics of random and board band. Feature representation is a difficult problem for AE-based monitoring and determines the accuracy of monitoring system. It is knottier for the situation of using diamond wheel grinding optical components, not only because of the complexity of grinding process but also the high requirement on surface and subsurface quality. This paper is dedicated to AE-based condition monitoring of diamond wheel during grinding brittle materials and feature representation is paid more attention. AE signal of brittle-regime grinding is modeled as a superposition of a series of burst-type AE events. Theory analysis manifested that original time waveform and frequency spectrum are all suitable for feature representation. Considering the convolution form of b-AE in time domain, a convolutional neural network with original time waveform of AE signals as the input is built for multi-class classification of wheel state. Detailed state division in a wheel’s whole life cycle is realized and the accuracy is over 90%. Different from the overlapping in time domain, AE components of different crack mechanisms are probably separated in frequency domain. From this point of view, AE spectrums are more suitable for feature extraction than the original time waveform. In addition, the time sequence of AE samples is essential for the evaluation of wheel’s life elapse and making use of sequential information is just the idea behind recurrent neural network (RNN). Therefore, long short-term memory (LSTM), a special kind of RNN, is used to build a regression prediction model of wheel state with AE spectrums as the model input and satisfactory prediction accuracy is acquired on the test set.

Inspired by previous achievements, different time-domain features for diagnosis of rolling element bearings are investigated in this study. An experimental test rig is prepared for condition monitoring of angular contact bearing by using an acoustic emission sensor for this purpose. The acoustic emission signals are acquired from defective bearing, and the sensor takes signals from defects on the inner or outer race of the bearing. By studying the literature works, different domains of features are classified, and the most common time-domain features are selected for condition monitoring. The considered features are calculated for obtained signals with different loadings, speeds, and sizes of defects on the inner and outer race of the bearing. Our results indicate that the clearance, sixth central moment, impulse, kurtosis, and crest factors are appropriate features for diagnosis purposes. Moreover, our results show that the clearance factor for small defects and sixth central moment for large defects are promising for defect diagnosis on rolling element bearings.

During manufacturing, the performance of a cutting tool is largely dependent on the conditions prevailing over the tool-work interface. This is mostly dependent on the status of the cutting tool and work material. Acoustic emission studies have been performed on carbon/phenolic composite using PCD and PCBN tools for tool condition monitoring. The studies have enabled to understand the tool behaviour at different cutting speeds.

Condition monitoring system monitors the system degradation and it identifies common failure modes. Several sensor signals are available for monitoring the changes in system components. Vibration signal is one of the most extensively used technique for monitoring rotating components as it identifies faults before the system fails. Early fault detection is the significant factor for condition monitoring, where Acoustic Emission ( AE ) sensor signals have been applied for early fault detection due to their high sensitivity and high frequency. In this paper, vibration and acoustic emission signals are acquired under various simulated gear and bearing fault conditions from the synchromesh gearbox. Then the statistical features are extracted from vibration and AE signals and then the prominent features are selected using J48 decision tree algorithm respectively. The best features from the vibration and AE signals are then fused using feature-level fusion strategy and it is classified using Support Vector Machine ( SVM ) and Proximal Support Vector Machine ( PSVM ) classifiers and it is compared with individual signals for fault diagnosis of the synchromesh gearbox. From the experiments, it is observed that the performance of the fault diagnosis system has been improved for the proposed feature level fusion technique compared to the performance of unfused vibration and AE feature sets.
