This work forms part of a larger investigation into fracture detection using acoustic emission (AE) during landing gear airworthiness testing. It focuses on the use of principal component analysis (PCA) to differentiate between fracture signals and high levels of background noise. An artificial acoustic emission (AE) fracture source was developed and additionally five sources were used to generate differing AE signals. Signals were recorded from all six artificial sources in a real landing gear component subject to no load. Further to this, artificial fracture signals were recorded in the same component under airworthiness test load conditions. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to automatically differentiate between AE signals from different source types. Furthermore, successful separation of artificial fracture signals from a very high level of background noise was achieved. The presence of a load was observed to affect the ultrasonic propagation of AE signals.

This paper proposes a new image segmentation algorithm to detect the flame image from video in enclosed compartment. In order to avoid the contamination of soot and water vapor, this method first employs the cubic root of four color channels to transform a RGB image to a pseudo-gray one. Then the latter is divided into many small stripes (child images) and OTSU is employed to perform child image segmentation. Lastly, these processed child images are reconstructed into a whole image. A computer program using OpenCV library is developed and the new method is compared with other commonly used methods such as edge detection and normal Otsu’s method. It is found that the new method has better performance in flame image recognition accuracy and can be used to obtain flame shape from experiment video with much noise.
