Abstract:
Acoustic emission (AE) is one of many technologies for health monitoring and
diagnosis of rotating machines such as gearboxes. Although significant research
has been undertaken in understanding the potential of AE in monitoring gearboxes
this has been solely applied to spur gears. This report presents an experimental
investigation that assesses the effectiveness of AE in identifying seeded
defects on helical gears; the first known attempt. Additionally vibration
analysis has performed to Study the effect of seeded defect on the vibration
signature of the meshing gears.
