Acoustic emission (AE) signals are useful for the condition monitoring of mechanical seals as tribological regimes affect the AE signatures. In this paper the investigation develops a mathematical model that can predict the energy of an AE signal under different tribological regimes. The developed model has been validated with experimental studies and satisfactory results have been perceived. Therefore, the model has strong potential to be used to obtain tribological behavior of mechanical seals and hence develop a reliable and accurate condition monitoring system under varying operating conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
