Valve Fault Diagnosis in Internal Combustion Engines Using Acoustic Emission and Artificial Neural Network

This paper presents the potential of acoustic emission (AE) technique to detect valve damage in internal combustion engines. The cylinder head of a spark-ignited engine was used as the experimental setup. The effect of three types of valve damage (clearance, semicrack, and notch) on valve leakage wa...
