Utilising of position profiles for location of continuous acoustic emission sources
Chlada, Milan ; Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Sladký, Petr
By detecting of continuous acoustic emission (AE) sources it is possible to precede potential emergencies as e.g. leaks of the media from pressure vessels, pipelines etc. Present location methods using attenuation characteristics of elastic waves have certain application restrictions. These disadvantages can be solved by introduction of so called position profiles. In this way, the attenuation dependencies of AE wave amplitude and the distance from emission source are converted to the dependencies between position profiles and Root Mean Square (RMS) of captured voltage signals of continuous AE. Proper location of real AE source is done by comparing of position profiles corresponding to model virtual sources with the position profile computed for a real source, while it is possible to apply optimization comparative methods or artificial neural networks. The paper presents detailed derivation and description of the new method, which is a subject of patent pending.
