The Effect of Waveguide Material and Shape on Ae Transmission Characteristics Part 2: Frequency and Joint-time-frequency Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the effects of varying waveguide material and/or shape on the frequency and joint-time-frequency characteristics of pulsed acoustic emission (AE) events. Forty-eight solid cylindrical waveguides were fabricated from alumina ceramic, mild steel, stainless steel (SS316), 2024-T3 aluminium or extruded Delrin. Three different lengths, two diameters and four sensor face angles were tested. The effects of a point at the source end of the waveguide were also verified. Analysis methods included continuous wavelets, short time Fourier transforms and standard Fourier transforms. Results showed that detected signals are dominated by the resonant harmonics of the waveguides, particularly with commonly used waveguide materials such as aluminium and steel.

The Effect of Waveguide Material and Shape on Ae Transmission Characteristics
Acoustic emission testing (AET) often utilises waveguides to separate delicate sensors from hot surfaces or to facilitate access to otherwise obstructed materials such as lagged vessels. In the authors’ work, restricted access to mechanical seals on a hot water pump necessitated the use of a short rod to transmit acoustic emission (AE) information from the ceramic seal face. Consequently, an ap...
متن کاملAnalysis of Planar Microstrip Circuits Using Three-Dimensional Transmission Line Matrix Method
The frequency-dependent characteristics of microstrip planar circuits have been previously analyzed using several full-wave approaches. All those methods directly give characteristic of the circuits frequency by frequency. Computation time becomes important if these planar circuits have to be studied over a very large bandwidth. The transmission line matrix (TLM) method presented in this paper ...
متن کاملIdentification of Dynamic Damping Properties of a Flexible Structural Adhesive
In this paper dynamic damping properties of a nominated flexible structural adhesive have been identified using an extended-direct modal based joint identification method. It has been revealed that damping characteristics of adhesive are correlated to both frequency and mode shape. Young’s and shear moduli increase with frequency but damping on the other hand, decrease. The results showed that ...
