The present thesis covers the pioneering effort of establishing an infrastructure for conducting research into the analysis of Acoustic Emission signatures, with emphasis being placed upon the recovery of the true surface ...

Condition monitoring through the use of vibration analysis is an established and effective technique for detecting loss of mechanical integrity of a wide range and classification of rotating machinery. Equipment rotating ...

The Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) is used for both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment; however, the RBC has been plagued with mechanical deficiencies since its conception. The unpredicted loss of ...

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the development of a reliable, nonintrusive and effective technique capable of accessing the lubrication condition within a low-speed rotating bearing. This ...

A theoretical design and study of production of various types of ultrasound transducers for acoustic emission research into the fatigue failure mechanism and application in machine condition monitoring of rolling element ...
