Acoustic emission monitoring of composite containment systems

This paper considers two different types of composite containment system, and two different types of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring approach. The first system is a composite reinforced pressure vessel (CRPV) which is monitored both during construction and in-service using a broadband modal acoustic emission (MAE) technique. The second system is a membrane cargo containment system which is mo...

Control Systems, Robotics, And Automation

Distributed Automation and Control Systems

Distributed automation and control systems are considered from the implementation point of view. The role of middleware and, in particular, the object-oriented open-standard-based CORBA is discussed and its usefulness for system integration and communication abstraction is shown on a practical example of an experimental robotic system.

Study of the Frictional Surface Damage Using Acoustic Emission Method

In this study, the change at rubbing surfaces has been investigated experimentally using an acoustic emission signal monitoring system. A steel ring is slipped on the surface of  a metallic sheet to simulate frictional conditions. The mechanical disturbances caused by the movement of the ring produce stress waves propagating along the sheet surface. The out of plane displacement of the sheet su...
