균열 진전에 따라 발생되는 AE신호 특성 분석

Abstract

Acoustic emission (AE) technique is a well-known non-destructive test technique. Fatigue crack growth test was performed using SM53C to check up the AE signal occurred by crack growth, so AE system was used to detect the crack signal. Features calculated by the AE signals were analyzed to evaluate the steps divided the crack growth into three. The steps, initiation, growth and breaking, were separated by velocity of the crack growth. Time waveform and power spectrum were created by the AE signal of each one of the steps and compared. In the feature domains, it was found that AE values changed rapidly as the velocity of the crack increasing.
