Abstract

Current researches of acoustic emission (AE) mainly put the focus on fault diagnosis of traditional isotropic materials machining process or analysis of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) tensile or bending strength, while there are merely studies on AE research of FRC grinding process. Numerous kinds of damage occur during FRC grinding process owing to their complicated structure. The main purpose of this paper is to extract proper index to estimate AE signals of FRC grinding and to recognize damage patterns, thus realizing FRC processing on-line detection. AE signals are obtained by single-grain grinding experiments of quartz fiber–reinforced silicon dioxide matrix composite (SiO2/SiO2). The AE signal features are discussed, and the outstanding character of frequency components is proposed. The frequency of each damage pattern is analyzed and verified. AE effective voltage value (EVV) and event number percentage (ENP) of peak frequency (PF) of AE signals with processing parameters are researched. The results show that for the same kind of FRCs, frequency components of AE signals are only affected by damage patterns rather than processing parameters or grinding directions, thus being a proper estimate index. There are four main frequency bands during SiO2/SiO2 grinding. The frequency 6.4–9.8 KHz corresponds to fiber fracture, 14.8–17.9 KHz is fiber debonding, 23.6–26.4 KHz is debris rubbing with workpiece and tool, and 34–35.5 KHz is matrix crack. EVV has a similar changing trend to grinding force with machining parameters. AE ENP of PF that the maximum peak amplitude (PA) corresponds to could quantitatively confirm the main damage modes under each processing condition.
