Abstract Acoustic emission method (AE) can be used for the diagnosis of machine parts such as, for example: fuel injectors. This paper presents the methodology and research results of 3AL25/30 engine fuel injector. During research was studied one injector in good condition and second with simulated failure involving closing 2 of 9 holes of the injector tip. Research was carried out on a laboratory test stand using a set of acoustic emission Vallen System. This set included: 4 channel signal recorder AMSY 6, two measurement modules ASIP-2/S, preamplifier with a frequency range 20 kHz-1 MHz and the strengthening of 34 dB, AE signal measurement sensor type VS 150M, with a frequency range 100-450 kHz. During the study, the acoustic emission (AE) generated by tested injector was recorded. The following parameters were determined: amplitude, rise time, duration time, total time, number of events – hits, the effective value of the signal (RMS). Analysis of the results showed significantly longer total time of the injection in the case of damaged injector compared to the injector in good conditions. Signal amplitude was higher, however, the RMS signal reached approximately 3-times lower value for the injector with damaged tip. This means lower quality fuel atomization. Laboratory test results were compared with signals recorded on injectors installed in the engine. Analysis of the signals allowed detection damage of the injector installed in the engine during normal operation.

Thepaperpresents results of animalfat lubricity testperformed at highfrequency reciprocating rig (HFRR). Impact of test temperature on wear scar diameter (WSD) is shown. Results for animal fat are compared with those for mineral diesel fuel (ULSD). Obtained WSD prooved excellent lubricating properties of animal fat. Laboratory test results are backed up with engine trials where two sets offuel pumps were tested on a large reciprocating engine. Animal fat can be used asfuelfor engines -when appropriatefiltrationprocess is implemented.

Abstract. We analyze variations of the LF subionospheric signal amplitude and phase from JJY transmitter in Japan (F=40 kHz) received in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky station during seismically quiet and active periods including also periods of magnetic storms. After 20 s averaging, the frequency range of the analysis is 0.28–15 mHz that corresponds to the period range from 1 to 60 min. Changes in spectra of the LF signal perturbations are found several days before and after three large earthquakes, which happened in November 2004 (M=7.1), August 2005 (M=7.2) and November 2006 (M=8.2) inside the Fresnel zone of the Japan-Kamchatka wavepath. Comparing the perturbed and background spectra we have found the evident increase in spectral range 10–25 min that is in the compliance with theoretical estimations on lithosphere-ionosphere coupling by the Atmospheric Gravity Waves (T>6 min). Similar changes are not found for the periods of magnetic storms.

ABSTRACTMonitoring of acoustic emission (AE) activity was employed to characterize the initiation and progression of local failure processes during nanoindentation-induced fracture. Specimens of various brittle materials were loaded with a cube-corner indenter and AE activity was monitored during the entire loading and unloading event using an AE transducer mounted inside the specimen holder. As observed from the nanoindentation and AE response, there were fundamental differences in the fracture behavior of the various materials. Post-failure observations were used to identify particular features in the AE signal (amplitude, frequency, rise-time) that correspond to specific types of fracture events. Furthermore, analysis of the parametric and transient AE data was used to establish the crack-initiation threshold, crack-arrest threshold, and energy dissipation during failure. It was demonstrated that the monitoring of AE signals yields both qualitative and quantitative information regarding highly local failure events in brittle materials.
