Abstract:
This paper presents results of an experimental investigation to assess the
potential of the Acoustic Emission (AE) technology for detecting natural cracks
in operational slow speed shafts. A special purpose built test rig was employed
for generating natural degradation on a shaft. It was concluded that AE
technology successfully detected natural cracks induced on slow speed shafts.
