Acoustic Emission for Condition Monitoring
The scientific application of acoustic emission (AE) technology first emerged in the 1950’s, but appeared to fall out of fashion from the late 1970’s onwards. However with the focus now on cost-effective ways of optimising machine and equipment reliability & availability, AE is experiencing a renaissance as a valuable condition-based monitoring (CBM) and predictive maintenance tool.
David Green of AV Technology looks at new ways of applying this versatile technology in the article below.
