- Abstract
This paper presents measurements of acoustic emission (AE) signals during injection molding with resonant PZT sensors that were applied to the mold via waveguides. A polypropylene material was employed for injection molding of ISO specimens. Acoustic signals were measured during production cycles on a new mold and damaged one with cracks induced by laser surface heat treatment. The mold inserts integrity description by acquired AE signal together with the fractal algorithm using box counting method is presented. Implementation of AE signal analysis based on an idea of the box-counting method in a way to divide the measured AE signals to AE signal boxes is used. To improve the capability of clustering AE data during injection process cycle, AE burst descriptors are defined. To lower computational complexity and increase performance, the feature selection method was implemented. Neural network pattern recognition of AE signals feature subsets was used for evaluation of process steps and damage detection.
