The Acoustic Emission Technology was investigated for condition monitoring, material flow characterization and fatigue testing at the institute for Advanced Mining Technologies. Pre-tests have already shown the potential of the application of this technology to the mining sector. With the help of advanced signal processing and/or machine learning algorithms, the aim is to provide even better test results. In order to achieve this, precise information of location and AE parameters are necessary. Within this UROP project, new methods for onset detection should be implemented and tested regarding the output of machine learning algorithms. We at AMT (Advanced Mining Technology) are committed to providing technologies and system solutions for harsh environments like in mining and heavy machinery construction. Resource efficiency, safety and social responsibility are our vision and mission. Our diverse team strives to always provide excellent and at the same time viable solutions.
