Development of Acoustic Emission Technology for Condition Monitoring andDiagnosis of Rotating Machines; Bearings, Pumps, Gearboxes, Engines and RotatingStructures.

One of the earliest documented applications of acoustic emission technology (AET) to rotating machinery monitoring was in the late 1960s. Since then, there has been an explosion in research- and application-based studies covering bearings, pumps, gearboxes, engines, and rotating structures. In this paper we present a comprehensive and critical review to date on the application of AET to condition monitoring and diagnostics of rotating machinery.
