24、N 1330-2, EN 1330-9 and IEC 60050International Electrotechnical Vocabulary and the following apply:average signal level (ASL)rectified, time averaged AE signal.4 DetectionA piezoelectric sensor is the most commonly used device for detecting acoustic emission. It provides the mosteffective conversion

25、 of elastic waves (acoustic emission) into an electrical signal in the frequency range mostcommonly used for AE detection, 20 kHz - 1 MHz. In its simplest form it consists of a piezoelectric crystalline orceramic element, mounted in a protective case. The sensor detects a combination of wave types:

26、compressional,shear, surface (Rayleigh), plate (Lamb), arriving from any direction.4.1 Sensing elementThe sensing material affects the conversion efficiency, operating temperature range and cable drive capability. Leadzirconate titanate (PZT), a ceramic, is the most commonly used material. It can be

27、 manufactured in a wide range ofsizes and shapes.The size, shape and containment affect the sensitivity, directionality, frequency response and wave-mode response.Several elements may be combined to achieve a desired performance.DIN EN 13477-1:2013-11 EN 13477-1:2001 (E)44.2 Sensor caseThe sensor ca

28、se (usually metallic) determines the overall size and mechanical characteristics of the sensor. It mayhave an integral cable or a connector. The case provides a total electrical screening of the sensing element and isusually common to one pole of the sensing element. A faceplate of ceramic or epoxy

29、between the sensor element andtest object provides electrical isolation from the structure to avoid ground loop and induced electromagnetic noise.Depending on the method of assembly, the sensor can be made single ended or differential.In a single-ended device, the screen of a coaxial cable is connec

30、ted to the sensor case and to one side of the sensingelement.In a differential device, a screened twisted pair cable is used and the sensing element is usually split or machined sothat the screen does not conduct the electrical output signal. Differential sensors have normally improved immunity toel

31、ectromagnetic noise compared with single-ended sensors.The case may contain a low noise preamplifier. Incorporating the preamplifier inside the sensor case, eliminates thecable link between the sensor element and the preamplifier. This reduces signal loss and improves immunity toelectromagnetic nois

32、e. The drawbacks are that the sensor case becomes larger, the maximum temperature rating islimited by the electronics, and the preamplifier is not interchangeable, see also 5.1.4.3 Sensor characteristics4.3.1 Frequency responsePiezoelectric acoustic emission sensors are either resonant with a peak i

33、n a certain frequency range, i.e. thefrequency content of the transient signal is mostly determined by the resonant frequency of the sensing element, orbroad-band with a rather flat frequency response if properly damped. The response of a sensor is given in terms of itsoutput voltage versus frequenc

34、y for a standard mechanical stimulus. Due to the inertia of piezoelectric sensors theirresponse will be different to continuous and transient stimuli. Most piezoelectric devices will be characterised bysurface velocity (volts per metre per second) as a function of frequency for a transient input. An

35、 exception is the “flatresponse“ device which is often characterised in terms of surface displacement (volts per unit displacement).Continuous signal response may be characterised in the same way or in pressure terms (volts per microbar).4.3.2 DirectionalityThe directionality is a measure of the uni

36、formity of the device response to signals coming from any direction along thesurface of the object to which the device is attached. It is usually called the polar response and quoted as a deviationabout the mean in dB. Sensors may be intentionally directional to preferentially monitor a specific are

37、a.4.3.3 Wave mode responseSensors may be made responsive to a particular wave mode, such as: shear, compressional or other waves.4.3.4 Operating temperatureThis depends on the construction materials and the characteristics of the sensor element. It shall be used within thetemperature range specified

38、 by the manufacturers.5 Signal conditioningIncluded in this section is preamplification, cables and post amplification.DIN EN 13477-1:2013-11EN 13477-1:2001 (E)55.1 PreamplifierThe main preamplifier characteristics are the input impedance, noise, gain, bandwidth, filter characteristics such asroll-o

39、ff rate, output impedance, operating temperature range, common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and dynamicrange.Preamplification can be of voltage or charge. Voltage preamplification converts the sensor output, usually a highimpedance low-level signal, to a low impedance high-level signal for the transm

40、ission over long signal lines to themeasurement instrumentation, which may be up to several hundred metres away.A typical preamplifier has a high input impedance, 40 dB gain and 50 output impedance to drive a coaxial cable.The D.C. power supply to the preamplifier is commonly supplied on the same ca

41、ble as the signal output anddecoupled at each end using a filter network.The preamplifier input may be single-ended, differential or switchable to fit different sensor types. For some industrialapplications, preamplifiers are an integral part of the AE sensor, providing greater ruggedness, reliabili

42、ty, reducedsignal loss due to cable impedance and reduced susceptibility to electromagnetic noise.The design of the preamplifier may allow the sensor to be used as a pulser transducer for calibration purposes.Charge preamplification eliminates the effect of cable capacitance on the signal but is not

43、 widely used.5.2 Cables5.2.1 Sensor to preamplifier cableThis is the most important cable in the system and should be of low-capacitance, ( 100 pF/m), fully screened, andkept as short as possible ( 1 m) where voltage preamplification is used.5.2.2 Preamplifier to instrument cableThis is normally a s

44、creened coaxial 50 impedance cable matched to the preamplifier and measurement instrument.Care shall be taken to avoid crosstalk problems with multi-conductor cables, particularly if individual conductors areused to transmit a wide band pulser signal for periodic calibration during a test.5.2.3 Scre

45、enA single-point ground for all the screens is normally used at the measurement instrumentation. The screens of thecables shall not form ground loops.5.3 Post-amplification and frequency filteringPost-amplification and further analogue filtering is used at the measurement instrumentation to increase

46、 the signallevel and remove unwanted low or high frequency signals for measurement purposes. The input impedance, dynamicrange, filter characteristics, gain or attenuation are relevant to this section. The input stage usually provides D.C.power for the preamplifier and, sometimes, may control pulser

47、 operation.6 Signal measurement6.1 Continuous signalA continuous signal is characterised by the measurement of RMS (Root Mean Square) or ASL (Average Signal Level)with a particular time constant. Continuous signal measurement systems are used where there is no requirement toidentify and characterise

48、 individual emissions (bursts), e.g., process monitoring and leak detection. The measuredcharacteristics and their dynamic range define this type of system.DIN EN 13477-1:2013-11 EN 13477-1:2001 (E)66.2 Burst signalBurst signal measurement systems identify and characterise individual acoustic emissi

49、ons on the basis of their timeabove an amplitude threshold.The parameters of each burst signal may comprise any or all of the following, depending on the type of system and itsuser set-up:- peak amplitude;- time to peak amplitude;- arrival time;- rise-time,- duration;- ringdown count;- count to peak amplitude;- energy;- average frequency;- RMS level;- ASL;- detection threshold level;- others.External slow-varying parameter data, such as pressure, temperature, load or strain may also be acquired as part
