Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an acoustic emission sensor including a pre-amplifier to condition an acoustic emission signal based on an acoustic emission source, a demodulator to generate demodulated acoustic emission data based on the acoustic emission signal, and a transmitter to transmit the demodulated acoustic emission data to a data acquisition system.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- an acoustic emission sensor including:
- a pre-amplifier to condition an acoustic emission signal based on an acoustic emission source;
- a demodulator to generate demodulated acoustic emission data based on the acoustic emission signal;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit the demodulated acoustic emission data to a data acquisition system.
A method comprising:
- conditioning an acoustic emission signal based on an acoustic emission source with a pre-amplifier integrated into an acoustic emission sensor;
- generating an oscillating signal;
- combining the acoustic emission signal with the oscillating signal;
- generating demodulated acoustic emission data based on the combined signal;
- and
- transmitting the demodulated acoustic emission data to a data acquisition system.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
- condition an acoustic emission signal based on an acoustic emission source with a pre-amplifier integrated into an acoustic emission sensor;
- generate an oscillating signal;
- combine the acoustic emission signal with the oscillating signal;
- generate demodulated acoustic emission data based on the combined signal;
- and
- transmit the demodulated acoustic emission data to a data acquisition system.
