Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of applying a predetermined load to a digger derrick while it is being monitored by sensors thatare sensitive to acoustic emissions (AE) caused by active defects. These acoustic emissions can be generated by, but are no
42、t limitedto, the following: crack nucleation, movement, or propagation in the metal components; or matrix crazing, delamination or fiberbreakage of the fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) material, or both.4.2 The digger derrick is loaded at a uniform rate until a predetermined load is reached, which is
43、held for a period of time. Theload is removed and the cycle is repeated. Acoustic emissions are monitored for the components being evaluated during bothcycles, and the data is reviewed.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method permits testing of the major components of a digger derrick generated b
44、y the rapid release of energy fromlocalized sources within the digger derrick under controlled loading. The energy releases occur during intentional application ofa predetermined load. These energy releases can be monitored and interpreted by qualified individuals. Acceptance/rejectioncriteria are b
45、eyond the scope of this test method. The test may be discontinued at any time to investigate a particular area ofconcern, or to prevent a fault from continuing to ultimate failure of the digger derrick resulting from the application of the test load.5.2 This test method provides a means of detecting
46、 acoustic emission sources that may be defects, irregularities, or both,affecting the structural integrity or intended use of the aerial personnel device.5.3 Significant sources of acoustic emission found with this test method shall be evaluated by either more refined acousticemission test technique
47、s or by other nondestructive methods (visual, liquid penetrant, radiography, ultrasonic, magnetic particle,etc.). Other nondestructive methods may be required in order to precisely locate defects in the digger derrick, and to estimate theirsize. Additional tests are outside the scope of this test me
48、thod.5.4 Defective areas found in digger derricks by this test method should be repaired and retested as appropriate. Repair procedurerecommendations are outside the scope of this test method.
