A review of acoustic emission technique for machinery condition monitoring: defects detection & diagnostic

Acoustic emission (AE) measurements are one of many non-destructive testing methods which had found applications in defects detection in machines. This paper reviews the state of the art in AE based condition monitoring with particular emphasis on rotating and reciprocating machinery applications. A...

Description
Summary:Acoustic emission (AE) measurements are one of many non-destructive testing methods which had found applications in defects detection in machines. This paper reviews the state of the art in AE based condition monitoring with particular emphasis on rotating and reciprocating machinery applications. Advantages and limitations of the AE technique in comparison to other condition monitoring techniques in detecting common machinery faults are also discussed.
