07B08 Study on application of acoustic emission method to fretting phenomena Prof. Masayuki Shima
(Japan)
Mr. Satoshi Ito The paper based on this research has been published on Tribology International in February 2009. The paper is entitled "The relationship between AE and dissipation energy for fretting wear" The authors are Satoshi Ito, Masayuki Shima, Tatsuhiro Jibiki and Hideki Akita.

A part of the results of this research, which was titled "Simultaneous measuring of acoustic emission and contact electrical resistance for fretting" has been presented at "JAST Tribology Conference, Tokyo, Japan (May 2008)".

The results of frequency analysis of AE have been presented as "AE measurement in fretting and its application" at the section meeting of wear researchers for JAST (December 2008).
