On the Bump Tests of Cracked Shafts Using Acoustic Emission Techniques

Abstract

An investigation about the application of Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques to analyze the dynamic response of different cracked shafts rendered in bump tests is presented in this work. The experimental apparatus devised for this work complies of six shafts with different transverse crack sizes and a high-frequency data acquisition system. The AE signals generated in the bump tests performed on the different cracked shafts are captured by a wideband AE transducer. Those signals are treated by using statistical moments, wavelet transforms, and frequency-and time-domain procedures. A transverse crack of predetermined depth is etched into each shaft. The experimental results show that the values of kurtosis and skewness estimated for the AE signals can be used to identify the crack size.

Dynamic Characterization of Ball Bearing in Turbine Propeller Using Bump Test Method

“…The FRF test investigates a mechanic structure's dynamic character in identifying damage on x, y, and z axes of tapered bearing with harmonic vibration from handphones [19]. Dynamic characteristics of disc brake using the bump test [20], then the method of damage to the disc brake [21] and detected crack in shaft [22] using the bump test method. The Eigenvalue of a structure can be obtained from the FRF test and to verify the frequency modes, it is compared using CEA [23].…”

Inspecting a Bump Test in the Maintenance of a 1200-Cc Daihatsu Sigra Disc Brake

“…The exciter is more suitable because of its ability to identify several modes with a smaller size allowing structural patterns to form as a deformation capital on a single-cylinder engine component. Pimentel-Junior et al (2016) The FRF measurements have been carried out by several researchers such as Masahiro (2015) comparing the FRF method to multibody dynamic that showed a similar trend in bolt stiffness, both at the amplitude and the phase occurring in the steering system. The FRF method was also employed to determine the comfort level of passengers related to the intensity of vibrations in the bus frame (Dahil et al, 2016).…”
