Résumé : |
Currently, there is no on-line test method to monitor the physical properties of semi-products such as wet blue or crust during the leather-making processes. Inferior leather semi-products, such as wet blue, cannot be downgraded earlier or removed before going through many expensive processes (including retanning, fatliquoring, dyeing, drying, staking, milling and finishing). Therefore, developing a nondestructive tester to perform on-line testing of the physical properties of semi-products is very desirable. Recently ARS transferred its knowledge gained over the years to Physical Acoustics Corporation (PAC) and collaborated with the leather industry in order to produce an on-line nondestructive acoustic emission tester. This paper discusses the activities performed by PAC, ARS, and Seton Company during the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I project ¿Acoustic Emission for the Characterization of Leather.¿ The main objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of using AE and Airborne UT to assess, characterize, and classify the quality level of various types of leather. The results obtained in this project show that it is feasible to use AE for the evaluation of leather quality during the manufacturing process. A newly designed AE system for the evaluation of leather quality is discussed in this paper. This system, which combines a handheld AE instrument with a rolling sensor probe, offers the potential for testing entire hides in the manufacturing plant. Data could be gathered from different sections of the hide, along different directions with respect to the backbone, and during different stages in the manufacturing process. Finally, we reported a simple method using a mechanical stopwatch as an acoustic wave source. Hits rate were collected when sound traveled though the leather samples. Results show a strong correlation between tensile strength and cumulative hits. |
