Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth in Gas Turbine Engine Blades Using Acoustic Emission

Fatigue failure is the main type of failure that occurs in gas turbine engine blades and an online monitoring method for detecting fatigue cracks in blades is urgently needed. Therefore, in this present study, we propose the use of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring for the online identification of t...
