Nowadays, condition-based maintenance (CBM) and fault diagnosis (FD) of rotating machinery (RM) has a vital role in the modern industrial world. However, the remaining useful life (RUL) of machinery is crucial for continuous monitoring and timely maintenance. Moreover, reduced maintenance costs, enhanced safety, efficiency, reliability, and availability are the main important industrial issues to maintain valuable and high-cost machinery. Undoubtedly, induction motor (IM) is considered to be a pivotal component in industrial machines. Recently, acoustic emission (AE) becomes a very accurate and efficient method for fault, leaks and fatigue detection and monitoring techniques. Moreover, CM and FD based on the AE of IM have been growing over recent years. The proposed research study aims to review condition monitoring (CM) and fault diagnosis (FD) studies based on sound and AE for four types of faults: bearings, rotor, stator, and compound. The study also points out the advantages and limitations of using sound and AE analysis in CM and FD. Existing public datasets for AE based analysis for CM and FD of IM are also mentioned. Finally, challenges facing AE based CM and FD for RM, especially for IM, and possible future works are addressed in this study.

Three-phase induction motors (IMs) are electrical machines used on a large scale in industrial applications because they are versatile, robust and low maintenance devices. However, IMs are significantly affected when fed by unbalanced voltages. Prolonged operation under voltage unbalance (VU) conditions degrades performance and shortens machine life by producing imbalances in stator currents that abnormally raise winding temperature. With the development of new technologies and research on non-destructive techniques (NDT) for fault diagnoses in IMs, it is relevant to obtain economically accessible, efficient and reliable sensors capable of acquiring signals that allow the identification of this type of failure. The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of low-cost piezoelectric sensors in the acquisition of acoustic emission (AE) signals and the identification of VU through the analysis of short-term Fourier transform (STFT) spectrograms. The piezoelectric sensor makes NDT feasible, as it is an affordable and inexpensive component. In addition, STFT allows time-frequency analyses of acoustic emission signals. In this NDT, two sensors were coupled on both sides of an induction motor frame. The AE signals obtained during the IM operation were processed and the resulting spectrograms were analyzed to identify the different VU levels. After comparing the AE signals for faulty conditions with the signals for the IM operating at balanced voltages, it was possible to obtain a desired identification that confirmed the successful application of low-cost piezoelectric sensors for VU condition detection in three-phase induction machines.

<p>We present the results of the laboratory studies of the activization of acoustic emission in fluid-saturated and uniaxial stressed sandstone and granite samples under the electrical current action. The experiments were carried out at the Geophysical observatory “Borok” of Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth (Russian Academy of Sciences) using servocontrolled press INOVA-1000 under strain control.</p><p>We recorded acoustic emission (AE), axial load, axial and radial strain of the sample and controlled the electric current flowing through the sample. The electrodes for creating an electric potential difference were mounted at the ends of the cylindrical samples. The experiments were carried out both in the presence and in the absence of a galvanic contact of the electrodes with the sample. We examined dry cores and partially saturated cores with an aqueous NaCl solution of various concentrations.</p><p>A significant increase in acoustic activity (more than several times) was found during periods of current action, as well as a decrease in activity after termination of electric action. Radial strain increases during periods of electric current flow, which indicates an increase in the sample volume. We did not find acoustic emission initiation on dry samples and on fluid-containing samples in the absence of galvanic contact of the electrodes with the samples.</p><p>The increase in the AE activity depends mainly on the electrical power and the duration of the exposure interval. The product of these parameters gives the amount of Joule heat. This indicates that the mechanism of AE initiation by electric current is of a thermal nature. Acoustic activation increases with an increase in the heat generated by the electric current passing through the sample. This makes it possible to relate the initiation of fracturing by thermal expansion of the fluid in the sample cracks and an increase in pore pressure. Found increasing of the radial deformation during the heating intervals supports this idea. Thus, the discovered phenomenon can be considered as a consequence of an unconventional way of increasing pore pressure in rocks saturated with a conducting fluid.</p><p>The effect of increasing the acoustic emission activity under electric current action is observed both in mechanically stressed samples and in free, unloaded samples.</p><p>The work was supported partly by the mega-grant program of the Russian Federation Ministry of Science and Education under the project no. 14.W03.31.0033 and partly by the state assignment of the Ministry to IPE RAS.</p>
