The first one is characterized by small size, low power in the practical application, and it adapts to the development of miniaturization poison gas sensor requirements. However, it still suffers from some problems as low sensitivity, few detectable gas types and crossed-interference. It is fortunate that these problems can be solved just right by the joint detection using the naked SAW sensor and GC, the method is especially suitable for the gas composition analysis in the complicated atmosphere background. This paper reviews the development of the SAW gas sensor using the two detection methods.Key words Surface acoustic wave, Gas sensor, Sensitive film, Gas chromatography, Sensitivity第32卷第4期何世堂等:声表面波气体传感器研究进展2531 引言声表面波(Surface acoustic wave,SAW)是在压电材料上淀积叉指电极通过压电效应所激发的沿基片表面传播的一种表面声波,对表面扰动的物理、化学或者其他机械参量相当敏感,由此可实现各种具有高灵敏度的传感器。

1.B ackgroundAcoustic emission occurs when most materials deform and break, but the acoustic emission signal strength of many materials is so weak that it cannot be heard directly by the human ear and needs to be detected with the help of sensitive electronic instruments. The technology of detecting, recording, and analyzing acoustic emission signals with instruments and inferring the acoustic emission source by using acoustic emission signals is called acoustic emission technology. Acoustic emission instruments are known as stethoscopes for materials.After entering the 21st century, with the rapid development of computer technology and communication technology, the application of acoustic emission technology is more extensive and can complete more complex detection content.2.T heoretical foundationAE is a naturally occurring phenomenon within materials and the term AE is used to define the transient elastic waves that result from a sudden strain energy release within a material due to the occurrence of micro-structural changes. If enough energy is released, audible sounds are produced. Acoustic emission in the proper sense covers the audible frequencies up into the high ultrasonic range.Figure 23.12 shows the operating principles of the acoustic emission test method. The component is subjected to an applied elastic stress; usuallyjust below the design load limit. When cracks and voids exist in materials, the stress levels immediately ahead of the defect are several times higher than the surrounding material. This is because cracks act as a stress raiser. Any plastic yielding and micro-cracking that occurs ahead of the defect owing to the stress concentration effect can generate acoustic stress waves before any significant damage growth. The waves are generated by the transient release of strain energy owing to micro-cracking. The waves are detected using sensitive acoustic transducers located at the surface. Several transducers are placed over the test surface to determine the damage location. Certain defects have a characteristic sound frequency value and this is used to determine the type of damage present in the material. For example, delaminations in carbon–epoxy composites have a characteristic frequency of about 100 kHz whereas damaged fibres emit sound at around 400 kHz.Acoustic emission has several advantages, including rapid inspection of large components and the capability to determine the location and type of damage. The downside is that the component must be further damaged to generate the acoustic emission signal.3.E ngineering applicationAt present, acoustic emission technology, as a mature non-destructive testing method, has been widely used in many fields, mainly including the following aspects:Material test:material performance test, fracture test, fatigue test, corrosion monitoring and friction test, etc.Civil engineering: inspection of buildings, bridges, cranes, tunnels, dams, continuous monitoring of the generation and development of cracks in cement structures, etc.We will explain one of these applications in detail:Identification and Analysis of Acoustic Emission Signal of Pressure Pipeline Leakage:The acoustic emission test system of pressure pipeline leakage is as follows,1-sensor;2-preamplifier;3-acoustic emission instrument;4-pressure pipeline;5-leak pointPlace two sensors on both sides of the leak point, first collect the signal during normal operation of the pipeline without leakage, and then open the leakage valve to simulate the pipeline leakage. After the signal is stable, collect the signal when there is a leakage, so as to obtain the normal operation and leakage acoustic emission signals.The left picture is the signal when the pipeline is operating normally, and the right picture is the signal when the pipeline is leaking. It can be clearly seen from the two time-domain waveform diagrams whether a leak has occurred.For further quantitative analysis, the experiment will be performed in the following two aspects:①Keep the sensor position unchanged and change the pressure in the pipeline.① Maintain pipeline pressure and a certain leakage state, and change the distribution of sensor spacing.The experimental results are as follows:①The rule of signal as pressure changeAs the pressure increases, the intensity of the signal from the acoustic emission sensor increases linearly. When the pressure increases to a certain extent, the slope decreases, but still changes linearly.①The rule of signal as distance changeAs the propagation distance increases, the total energy and signal strengthof the acoustic emission signal decreases.4.C onclusion and outlookAfter entering the 21st century, with the rapid development of computer technology and communication technology, the application of acoustic emission detection technology is more extensive, and it can complete more complex detection content. At present, extensive research and exploration have been carried out in the diagnosis of various materials processing and the manufacture of acoustic emission equipment. However, the research on acoustic emission detection and safety evaluation on large cranes is still a relatively new subject, which needs the research results of previous researchers. On the basis of further exploration.。
Vehicle gearbox fault diagnosis using noisemeasurementsSameh M. Metwalley, Nabil Hammad, Shawki A. Abouel-SeoudFaculty of Engineering, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt.Abstractmeasurement is one of many technologies for health monitoring and diagnosis of rotating machines such as gearboxes. Although significant research has been undertaken in understanding the potential of noise measurement in monitoring gearboxes this has been solely applied on any types of gears (spur, helical, ..etc.). The condition monitoring of a lab-scale, single stage, gearbox, represents the vehicle real gearbox, using non-destructive inspection methodology and the processing of the acquired waveform with advanced signal processing techniques is the aim of the present work. Acoustic emission was utilized for this purpose. The experimental setup and the instrumentation are present in detail. Emphasis is given on the signal processing of the acquired noise measurement signal in order to extract conventional as well as novel parameters potential diagnostic value from the monitoring waveform.The evolution of selected parameters/features versus test time is provided, evaluated and the parameters with most interesting diagnostic behavior are highlighted. The present work also reports the results concluded by long term (~ 6.0 h) experiments to a defected gear system, with a transverse cuts ranged from 0.75 mm to 3.0 mm to simulate the tooth crack. Different parameters, related by the analysis of the recording signals coming from acoustic emission are presented and their diagnostic value is discussed for the development of a condition monitoring system.Copyright © 2011 International Energy and Environment Foundation - All rights reserved.Keywords: Diagnostic, Geared system, Sound pressure level, Stationary signal, Faulty gear, Measuring devices, Condition of gear, Monitoring, Maintenance action.1. IntroductionAcoustic emission is defined as the range of phenomena that results in the generation of structure-borne and fluid-borne (liquid, gas) propagating waves due to the rapid release of energy from localised sources within and/or on the surface of a material. The application of the acoustic emission technology in research and industry is well-documented. In relation to gearboxes, a few investigators have assessed the application of acoustic emission technology for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Others applied acoustic emission in detecting bending fatigue on spur gears and noted that acoustic emission is more sensitive to crack propagation than vibration and stiffness measurements. Again, AE was found to be more sensitive to the scale of surface damage than vibration analysis [1-3].In automotive gearboxes and power drive trains in general, gear damage detection is often very critical and can lead to increased safety in vehicle, aviation and in industry as well. Thus the interest for their periodic non-destructive inspection and/or on line health monitoring is growing and effective diagnostic techniques and methodologies are the objective of extensiveresearch efforts over the last 50 years. Few research teams have published experimental data coming from long-term testing to see the effect of natural gear pitting mostly upon vibration recordings. In [4, 5], some excellent experimental work at GRC/NASA and published interesting results from extensive gear testing at a special test-rig utilizing vibration and oil debris measurements. With the clear goal to improve the performance of the current helicopter gearbox health monitoring systems, they have tested gears at high shaft speed for multi-hour periods (up to 250 h) and correlated special features extracted from the vibration recordings with the Fedebris mass accumulated during the tests.The interest for applications of acoustic emission for condition monitoring in rotating machinery is relatively new and has grown significantly over the last decade. Acoustic emission in rotating machinery is defined as elastic waves generated by the interaction of two media in motion, i.e., a pair of gears.Sources of acoustic emission in rotating machinery include asperities contact, cyclic fatigue, friction,material loss, cavitations, leakage, etc. Acoustic emission technique has drawn attention as it offers some advantages over classical vibration monitoring. First of all, as acoustic emission is a non-directional technique, one acoustic emission sensor is sufficient in contrast to vibration monitoring which may require information from three axes. Since acoustic emission is produced at microscopic level it is highly sensitive and offers opportunities for identifying defects at an earlier stage when compared to other condition monitoring techniques. As acoustic emission mainly defects high-frequency elastic waves, it is not affected by structural resonances and typical mechanical background noise (under 20 kHz). In [6],acoustic emission to spur gears in a gearbox test rig has been applied. It is simulated pits of constant depth but variable size and acoustic emission parameters such as energy, amplitude and counts were monitored during the test. Acoustic emission was proved superior over vibration data on early detection of small defects in gears. Also, acoustic emission technique in condition monitoring of test-rig gearboxes has been applied, while vibration methods was used for comparative purposes by placing accelerometers on the gearbox casing [7, 8]. The influence of oil temperature and the oil film thickness on acoustic emission activity and on acoustic emission RMS varied with time as the gearbox reached a stabilized temperature and the variation acoustic emission activity RMS could be as much as 33%.The effect of oil temperature on the acoustic emission was discussed in [9, 10] and concluded that the source of acoustic emission mechanism that produced the gear mesh bursts was from asperities contact. Moreover, some interesting observations on acoustic emission activity due to misalignment and natural pitting, where the acoustic emission technique is applicable for monitoring gear damage.Researchers in the field have focused mainly on advanced signal processing techniques applied on acoustic recordings coming mainly from artificial gear defects in short tests rather than including gear pitting damage in multi-hour testing. However, the condition monitoring of a lab-scale, single stage,gearbox, represents the vehicle real gearbox, using non-destructive inspection methodology and the processing of the acquired waveform with advanced signal processing techniques is the aim of the present work.2. Stationary signal data analysisThere are numerous signal processing techniques in the literature for fault diagnostics ofmechanical systems. Case-dependent knowledge and investigation are required to select appropriate signal processing tools among a number of possibilities. The most common waveform data in condition monitoring are vibration signals and acoustic emissions. Other waveform data are ultrasonic signals,motor current, partial discharge, etc. In the literature, there are two main categories of stationary waveform data analysis; time-domain analysis and frequency-domain analysis.3. Time-domain analysisTime-domain analysis is directly based on the time waveform itself. Traditional time-domain analysis calculates characteristic features from time waveform signals as descriptive statistics such as mean, peak, peak-to-peak interval, standard deviation, crest factor and high order statistics (root mean square, skewness, kurtosis, etc.). These features are usually called time-domain features. A popular time-domain analysis approach is Time Synchronous Average (TSA). The idea of TSA is to use the ensemble average of the raw signal over a number of evolutions in an attempt to remove or reduce noise and effects from other sources to enhance the signal components of interest.More advanced approaches of time-domain analysis apply time series models to waveform data. The main idea of time series modelling is to fit the waveform data to a parametric time model and extract features based on this parametric model. The popular models used in the literature are the Auto Regressive (AR) model and the Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) model [11].In this paper, only high order statistic of root mean square (RMS) is used. This feature is usually called time-domain features. RMS is a kind of average of signal, for discrete signals, the RMS value is definedas:4. Frequency-domain analysisFrequency-domain analysis is based on the transformed signal in frequency domain. The advantage of frequency–domain analysis over time-domain analysis is its ability to easily identify and isolate certain frequency components of interest. The most widely used conventional analysis is the spectrum analysis by mean of fast Fourier transform (FFT). The main idea of spectrum analysis is to either look at the whole spectrum or look closely at certain frequency components of interest and thus extract features from the signal [12].5. Constant percentage bandwidth (CPB)The basic choice to be made is between constant absolute bandwidth and constant proportional(percentage) bandwidth where the absolute bandwidth is a fixed percentage of the tuned centre frequency. Constant percentage bandwidth gives uniform resolution on a linear frequency scale, and this for example, gives equal resolution and separation of harmonically related components and this will facilitate detection of a harmonic pattern. However, the linear frequency scale automatically gives a restriction of the useful frequency range to (at the most)two decades.It is worth paying particular attention to two special classes of constant percentage bandwidth filter, viz.octave and third octave filters since these are widely used, in particular for acoustic measurements. The former have a bandwidth such that the upper limiting frequency of the pass band is always twice the lower limited frequency, resulting in the band width of 70.0%.6. Measuring system and test procedureFigure 1 shows the experimental setup used for the gearbox testing. The gearbox consists of two helical gears with a module of 2 mm, pressure angle 20°, which have 64 and 26 teeth with 40 mm face width.The axes of the gears are supported by two ball bearings each. The entire system is settled in an oil basin in order to ensure proper lubrication. The gearbox is powered by an electric motor and consumes its power on a hydraulic disc brake, while the speed is measured by photo electric probe. Bruel & Kjaer(B&K) portable and multi-channel PULSE type 3560-B-X05 (Figure 2) with condenser 1/2- microphone and preamplifier type 4189A-021 was positioned in the center of gearbox front casing away from the casing and the ground by 1.0 m and 0.50 m respectively [13]. The B&K PULSE labshop is the measurement software type 7700 is used to analyse the results (Figure 3). In terms of various parameters evolution during the test –from a representative test on a gear system with a cut of root thickness to simulate the tooth crack (Figure 4) will be presented and detailed in this study. Many tests were conducted on the same configuration yield similar parameters behaviour. Small cracks were made artificially with wire electrical discharge machining at the root of gear of one tooth to create a stress concentration which eventually led to a propagating crack. The crack depths are ranged from 0.75 mm to 3.0 mm with thickness of almost 0.5 mm. Recordings every 15 min were acquired and a total of 24 recordings (~ 6.0 h of test duration) were resulted until the termination of the test. This type of test was preferred in order to have the opportunity to monitor bath damage modes, i.e., the natural crack propagation. Damage is assured by increasing the test period to the point of where the remaining metal in the tooth area has enough stress to be in the plastic deformation region. Careful monitoring of the SPLresponses reveals some subtle and increasing changes in responses. When the gear tooth is brought under load, all the response are seen declining slightly over initial few hours, or 'break-in period'. Break-in period is followed by a long period with little or no change in the responses, 'or stable period'. Finally,often several hours prior to failure, one generally sees the responses decrease during the 'divergence period [14].Figure 1. Experimental setup Figure 2. Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) portable andmulti-channel PULSEFigure 3. The B&K PULSE labshop Figure 4. Gear tooth crackFive gear wheels with one pinion whose details mentioned in Table 1 have been used. One was a new wheel and was assumed to be free from defects (g o). In the other four gear wheels, defects were created using EDM in order to keep the size of the defect under control. The details of the various defects are depicted in Table 2 and its view is shown in Figure 4. The size of cracks is a little bigger than one can encounter in the practical situation. The sound pressure level signal from the microphone mounted on front of the test structure was taken, after allowing initial running of the system for sometime.Table 1. Gear and pinion wheels specificationsTable 2. Details of gear wheels various defectsAt crack size (g4), Table 2, recordings every 15 min were acquired and a total of 24 recordings (~ 6.0 h of test duration) were resulted until the termination of the test. This type of test was preferred in order to have the opportunity to monitor bath damage modes, i.e., the natural crack propagation. Damage is assured by increasing the test period to the point of where the remaining metal in the tooth area has enough stress to be in the plastic deformation region. Careful monitoring of the SPL responses reveals some subtle and increasing changes in responses.7. Results and discussionIn Figure 5, where the speed is 400 rpm, and load is 10 Nm for healthy gear, the sound pressure level(SPL) measured at a location of 1.0 m away from the gearbox face in time domain (Figure 5a) and in frequency domain (Figure 5b). This indicates high levels in the frequency ranges of 200 Hz-300 Hz, 400Hz-500 Hz and 600Hz-700 Hz (Figure 5b), while the levels of the remaining frequency are lower and almost constant. The influence of the load on the measured SPLs at speed of 400 rpm is presented in Figure 6, where the 1/3-octave SPL is increased with the increase of the load dispite some small discrepancies exsited in the 1/3-octaves up to 63 Hz (Figure 6b). This may be attributed to the influnce of gear meshing frequencies, rotating shafts frequencies and structure rigidity resonance frequencies.In Figure 7, where the speed is 400 rpm, and load is 10 Nm for faulty gear, the sound pressure level(SPL) measured at a location of 1.0 m away from the gearbox face in time domain (Figure 7a) and in frequency domain (Figure 7b). The whole spectrum levels are higher when compared with those presentin Figure 5b, particularly towards the higher harmonics of tooth-mesh of the output gear, indicating crack. Furthermore, for healthy gears (Figure 5b), the averaged signal is normally dominated by tooth meshing harmonics modulation by the rotation of the gear shaft. When a localized tooth defect, such as tooth crack (g4) of dimension of 3.0 x 0.5 x 40, the engagement of the cracked tooth will induces an impulsive change with comparatively low energy to the gear mesh signal. This can produce some higher shaft-order modulations and may excite structure resonance.The influence of the crack size on the measured SPLs at speed of 400 rpm and load 10 Nm is presented in Figure 8, where the 1/3-octave SPL is increased with the increase of the crack sizes stated in Table 2 dispite some small discrepancies exsited in the 1/3-octaves up to 63 Hz (Figure 6b).Figure 5. Sound pressure level spectra: (a) time history of sound pressure level; (b) frequencydomain of sound pressure levelFigure 6. 1/3-Octave sound pressure level spectra: (a) 1/3-octave sound pressure level; and (b)1/3-octave sound pressure levelFigure 7. Sound pressure level spectra: (a) time history of sound pressure level; and (b)frequency domain of sound pressure levelFigure 8. 1/3-Octave sound pressure level spectra: (a) 1/3-octave sound pressure level; and (b)1/3-octave sound pressure levelTo highlight the noise signal components generated by crack damage only, the influence of the regular sound pressure levels (SPL) components are to be removed for obtaining the residual SPL signal. When there is no crack in the gear, the obtained noise signal can be considered to be regular signals. Thus, if the sound pressure signals with 0% crack has been selected as a reference signal and remove it from each set of cracked gear SPL signals, the information contained in the remaining part is supposed to be only related to the gear crack. The aforementioned equation (1) for RMS is applied to the residual signal,where their results are shown in Figure 9. The influence of load and crack size on the RMS SPL averages are present in Figure 9a and b respectively. It is clearly seen that the SPL in terms of RMS value increased as the increase of load output gear tooth crack size. This significant increase indicates the deterioration in condition.However, when analyzing the noise signal measured from the single-stage gearbox structure in frequency-domain (Figure 10), firstly, each gear's shaft rotating frequency and meshing frequency are calculated. Table 3 tabulates them at motor speed of 400 rpm and load of 2.5 Nm, where their shaft rotating frequencies, ƒpr and ƒgr and meshing frequencies, ƒpm and ƒgm are listed. The spectrum of healthy gearbox is shown in Figure 10a which can be considered to represent the new condition, while Figure 10b represents the faulty gear at crack size (g4) with the dimension of 3.0 x 0.5 x 40 mm. It is found that the spectra are dominated entirely by these frequencies as shown by the arrows. The other significant components in the spectra are an inter-modulation sideband with the same spacing from the first tooth-mesh harmonic as that of the ghost frequency from the fundamental tooth-meshing frequency. Some sidebands are presented but at a relatively low SPL levels.Table 3. Gearbox shafts frequencies at motor speed of 400 rpm and load of 2.5 NFigure 9.

Locations of tooth meshing and shaft rotation frequencies: (a) healthy gear; and (b)faulty gear (g4), 3.0 x 0.5 x 40 mmSamples from SPL responses at speed of 400 rpm, load 15 NM and 330 min for faulty gear with crack dimension of 3.0 x 0.5 x 40 mm in terms of time history and frequency domain are shown in Figure 11a and b respectively, while Figure 12a and b show the 1/3-octave RMS averages for different testing time up to 6.0 hours. The evaluation of RMS average parameter with respect of testing time ranged from 0.0 min to 360 min (6.0 hours) is depicted in Figure 13. To assist the more accurate observation of this parameter evaluation during the range of testing time, a magnification was seen in the Figure 13, where the first transition period is obtained at the end of testing time near 135 min, while the second transition period is observed from 135 to 360 min. These transition periods are important and possess diagnostic value as they can be used to define and characterize critical changes of the gears damage accumulation and evaluation.Figure 11.

Relationship between RMS of SPL and testing time8. Conclusion1- The experimental methodology capability developed in this work could be utilized for diagnostic regime. Furthermore, the obvious periodical impulses caused by the cracked tooth appear in time history,frequency domain and in 1.3-octave band averages signals as the crack level increases, these carry diagnostic information which is important for extracting features of tooth crack damage.2- The FFT technique and the high order statistic of RMS reflect in the Sound pressure level (SPL)responses of the gearbox. This can be an effective way to carry out the predictive maintenance regime and consequently to save money and look promising.3- The identification of gearbox noise in terms of SPL is introduced. When applied to thegearbox, the method resulted in an accurate account of the state of the gear, even, when applied to real data taken from the gear test. The results look promising. Moreover, the proposed noise in terms of sound pressure level (SPL) signature methodology has to be tested on the other test rig also. RMS average value analysis could be a good indicator for early detection and characterization of faults.4- In order to study the development of damage in artificially induced cracks in the gearbox, multi-hour tests were conducted and recordings were acquired using noise in terms of SPL monitoring, where the RMS average was calculated. In the recordings, the transitions in the RMS values with the recording time were highlighted suggesting critical changes in the operation of the gearbox.References[1] Singh A, Houser DR. and Vijayakar S.

噪音对海洋影响英语作文Title: The Impact of Noise Pollution on the Ocean。
The ocean, a vast expanse of life and mystery, is not immune to the effects of human activity. Among the various forms of pollution it faces, noise pollution stands out as a significant but often overlooked threat. In this essay, we will delve into the detrimental effects of noise pollution on the ocean ecosystem and explore potential solutions to mitigate its impact.Firstly, it is crucial to understand the sources of oceanic noise pollution. Anthropogenic activities such as shipping, construction, offshore drilling, and naval exercises are primary contributors. These activities introduce sounds ranging from low-frequency hums to deafening blasts, disrupting the natural acoustic environment of the ocean. Additionally, the proliferation of maritime transportation has led to an increase in vessel traffic, amplifying noise levels in marine habitats.The consequences of noise pollution on marine life are profound and multifaceted. One of the most affected groupsis marine mammals, particularly cetaceans like whales and dolphins, which rely heavily on sound for communication, navigation, and foraging. Excessive noise can interferewith their ability to echolocate, locate prey, and communicate with conspecifics, leading to disorientation, stress, and even strandings.Furthermore, noise pollution impacts various other marine organisms, including fish, invertebrates, and plankton. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to anthropogenic noise can disrupt fish behavior, such as feeding and reproduction patterns, ultimately affecting population dynamics. Invertebrates with sensitive auditory structures may suffer from direct physical damage oraltered behavior due to noise-induced stress. Even plankton, the foundation of the marine food web, can experience changes in distribution and abundance in response to noise disturbance.The ecological repercussions of noise pollution extend beyond individual species to entire marine ecosystems. Changes in animal behavior and population dynamics can disrupt trophic interactions, leading to cascading effects throughout the food web. For example, declines in fish populations due to noise disturbance can affect the abundance of their predators, ultimately impacting higher trophic levels, including marine birds and mammals.In addition to ecological impacts, noise pollution poses socio-economic challenges, particularly for coastal communities dependent on marine resources. The disturbance of fish populations and alteration of habitat due to noise pollution can jeopardize livelihoods reliant on fishing and tourism. Furthermore, noise pollution from maritime activities can degrade the quality of recreational experiences, diminishing the aesthetic value of coastal environments.Addressing the issue of oceanic noise pollution requires a multi-faceted approach involving collaboration among governments, industries, scientists, and conservationorganizations. Implementing regulations to limit noise emissions from shipping, offshore construction, and military exercises is essential. This can include measures such as the use of quieter vessel designs, speed restrictions in sensitive areas, and the establishment of marine protected areas where noise levels are controlled.Furthermore, technological innovations can play a crucial role in reducing noise pollution. Advancements in ship design, propulsion systems, and underwater construction techniques can help minimize noise emissions without compromising operational efficiency. Additionally, the development of acoustic monitoring systems can aid in assessing noise levels in the ocean and identifying areas of concern.Education and public awareness are also vital components of mitigating oceanic noise pollution. By raising awareness about the impacts of noise pollution on marine life and ecosystems, individuals can make informed choices and advocate for policy changes. Engaging stakeholders through outreach programs, educationalcampaigns, and citizen science initiatives can foster a sense of stewardship for the ocean and promote collective action towards conservation efforts.In conclusion, noise pollution poses a significant threat to the health and integrity of the ocean ecosystem. Its detrimental effects on marine life, ecological processes, and human well-being underscore the urgent need for concerted action. By implementing regulatory measures, fostering technological innovation, and raising public awareness, we can work towards mitigating the impacts of noise pollution and preserving the acoustic sanctity of the ocean for future generations.。

郑永来文源潘坦博同济大学摘要:随着基础设施大规模建设高峰期逐渐远去,对于结构安全的关注重点逐渐由建设向运营与养护转移。
在评估构件与结构的健康状况时,采用无损检测技术对裂缝的进行正确检测与监测至关重要。
本文将简要介绍无损检测技术中最为常用的技术——声发射技术,其可以应用于混凝土、复合材料、金属、木材与岩石等不同材料,是一项面向未来的、科学可靠的、市场广阔的技术。
关键词:声发射;监测;裂缝1 声发射技术的介绍1.1 声发射现象当固体材料受到超过其机械阻力承受能力的荷载作用时,其内部结构会发生错位与断裂,这个过程伴随着能量的释放,这种能量在介质中以机械波的形式,从损伤部位向周围环境传播,被称为声发射(Acoustic Emissions)。
声发射本质上是指在介质中产生非永久变形的高频应力波的传播,由于其振幅会迅速衰减,因此他们具有瞬态特性。
摩擦接触、冲击、热变形、以及裂缝的形成与扩展都会导致声发射的产生。
1.2声发射监测原理及其系统组成典型的声发射监测布置采用传感元件表面接触的布置方法。
大多数的声发射传感器基于压电效应原理研发,利用某些材料在收到机械应力时会产生电压的原理制作而成。
一般有两类AE传感器,即用于测量所有类型AE波的体声波传感器,及用于测量瑞丽波的表面声波传感器,后者应用较为广泛。
传感器接收到AE信号后通常被预放大,然后使用高速A/D转换器进行采样(理想情况下采样频率应高于1MHZ)。
通过这种方式会记录到两种类型的声发射信号,一种是连续型信号,另一种为突发型信号。

emissions(AE)caused by active defects.These acoustic emissions can be generated by,but are not limited to,the following:crack nucleation, movement,or propagation in the metal components;or matrix crazing,delamination orfiber breakage of thefiber reinforced plastic(FRP)material,or both.4.2The insulated digger derrick is loaded at a uniform rate until a predetermined load is reached,which is held for a period of time.The load is removed and the cycle is repeated. Acoustic emissions are monitored for the components being evaluated during both cycles,and the data is reviewed.5.Significance and Use5.1This test method permits testing of the major compo-nents of an insulated digger derrick shown in Table1.The test method provides a means of detecting acoustic emissions generated by the rapid release of energy from localized sources within the digger derrick under controlled loading.The energy releases occur during intentional application of a predeter-mined load.These energy releases can be monitored and interpreted by qualified individuals.Acceptance/rejection cri-teria are beyond the scope of this test method.The test may be discontinued at any time to investigate a particular area of concern,or to avoid imminent damage to the digger derrick resulting from the application of the test load.5.2Significant sources of acoustic emission found with this test method shall be evaluated by either more refined acoustic emission test techniques or by other nondestructive methods (visual,liquid penetrant,radiography,ultrasonic,magnetic particle,etc.).Other nondestructive methods may be required in order to precisely locate defects in the digger derrick,and to estimate their size.Additional tests are outside the scope of this test method.7Letters in parentheses refer to the corresponding letters in Table1and Fig.1.TABLE1Insulated Digger Derrick Components That May be Monitored with Acoustic EmissionComponentCorresponding Letter inFig.1Upper Boom Tip A AUpper Boom B A Intermediate Boom(s),if equipped CLower Boom DLower Boom Lift Cylinder Attach Bracket ETurntable FPedestal GOptional Components—if equippedPlatform HPlatform Attachment IJib J AJib Bracket/Cylinder Attach Bracket K A Outriggers LA These components must bemonitored.5.3Defective areas found in digger derricks by this test method should be repaired and retested as appropriate.Repair procedure recommendations are outside the scope of this test method.6.Personnel Qualifications6.1The test method shall be performed by qualified person-nel.Qualification shall be in accordance with an established written program prepared by a person familiar with design, manufacture,and operation of insulated digger derricks.The program shall include an established format of ASNT SNT-TC-1A for training,qualification,and certification of personnel for conducting AE testing.N OTE1—Personnel performing subsequent nondestructive evaluation (visual,liquid penetrant,radiography,ultrasonic,magnetic particle,etc.) on digger derricks should be certified in accordance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A guidelines.6.2Acoustic emission test personnel shall be familiar with the design,manufacture,and operation of insulated digger derricks.Relevant information is contained in ANSI A10.31 and manufacturers’operating and service manuals.7.Acoustic Emission Instrumentation7.1The AE instrument shall be capable of data acquisition from discrete channels using60kHz and150kHz sensors.The number of AE instrument channels shall be determined by the attenuation characteristics of the digger derrick in order to provide coverage of those components identified in Table1. Refer to the description of mandatory instrumentation charac-teristics in Annex A1.N OTE2—Annex A1requires the use of a minimum of eight channels. N OTE3—The sensors used by most testing agencies are resonant at60 kHz for FRP components and150kHz for metal components.Selection of sensors other than these may significantly affect test results.8.Test Preparation8.1Prior to the AE test,a visual evaluation of the digger derrick shall be performed to determine,as far as practical,that the derrick is free from any condition that may prohibit the test or adversely affect the test results.8.2The components to be monitored in an insulated digger derrick shall include,but not be limited to,those specified in Table 1.Additional channels and sensors may be used to supplement the minimum test requirements and improve loca-tion resolution.8.3Position the sensors on the FRP and metal portions of the components to be monitored.The extent of the coverage is determined by the number of sensors used and the attenuation characteristics of the individual components,and can be verified by a simulated AE technique as indicated in Guide E976.Record the amplitude of the simulated AE source at a distance of12in.(304mm)from the sensor as a reference. Continue to move the simulated AE source away from the sensor until the amplitude is no more than15dB less than the reference amplitude.This will establish the maximum effective coverage of the sensor.8.4The mounting of sensors shall be in accordance with Practice E569and E650.The couplant used shall not affect the integrity of the digger derrick.N OTE4—The couplant should be compatible with the digger derrick; not a possible cause of contamination.The couplant should be completely removable from the surface after testing,leaving the original surface intact.9.AE Instrumentation System Performance Check9.1Performance verification shall be made with an AE simulator immediately prior to application of test load.This simulator should be capable of producing a transient elastic wave having an amplitude representative of the AE signals to be recorded.9.2The AE simulator may be gas jet,pencil lead break technique or an electronically induced event or equivalent. 9.3The detected peak amplitude of the simulated event at a fixed distance,typically6to9in.(152to228mm),from each sensor shall not vary more than6dB from the average of all the sensors on the same type material.The detected peak ampli-tude of any sensor shall not exceed90dB to avoid saturation of amplifier(s).10.System Calibration10.1Subject the AE system to a thorough calibration and functional check to verify

device to the load applica-tion system,which in turn shall attach to an adequate dead weight or anchor.11.3Loads should be applied to the actual load line used for material handling.The line may run just over the outer sheave and a loading mechanism or stiffer line attached to minimize line stretch.11.4All components of the load application system shall be capable of supporting the test load.11.5Perform the loading sequence as shown in Fig.3. 11.6Platforms should be tested separately in accordance with Test Method F914.11.7If the unit is equipped with a jib,it should be tested separately with booms retracted so as not to require the monitoring of the digger derrick during the jib tests,except for the interface between the jib and derrick.The jib shall be tested in its fully extended position at an angle of0-degrees.Thetestload shall be 150%of its rated capacity.Where applicable the actual loadline shall be used.11.8If the digger derrick is rated with other load ratings or other loading positions that would cause significantlydifferentNotes (Apply To All Tests):(1)Position truck in most favorable stable position,on firm,level ground.(2)Extend outriggers.(3)Refer to manufacturers load charts,operational manuals,and decals before testing.(4)Maintain weights (test loads)within 2ft of the ground at all times.FIG.2Insulated Digger Derrick Recommended Test Positions and TestLoadsFIG.3Acoustic Emission Test Sequence for Insulated DiggerDerrickstresses or potential for defect initiation,then it shall be tested in those positions in addition to the standard position described previously.11.9Pass/Fail Criteria for Acoustic Emission Testing of FRP Components:11.9.1The following acceptance criteria are valid only when using this test method and applied loads remain

声学气体探测英语English:Acoustic gas detection is a technique used to identify and quantify gases in a given environment by analyzing the sound waves they produce. This method relies on the unique acoustic signatures generated when gases interact with sound waves. When sound waves pass through a gas, variations in density, temperature, and composition cause changes in the speed and amplitude of the waves. By measuring these changes, it becomes possible to infer the presence and concentration of specific gases. Acoustic gas detectors typically consist of a microphone or sensor to capture sound waves, signal processing hardware to analyze the captured signals, and algorithms to interpret the data and identify the gases present. This approach offers several advantages, including the ability to detect gases over a wide area, even in harsh environments where traditional detection methods may be impractical or unsafe. Additionally, acoustic gas detection is non-intrusive, meaning it does not require physical contact with the gas source, making it suitable for monitoring applications where contamination or interference is a concern.中文翻译:声学气体探测是一种通过分析气体产生的声波来识别和量化给定环境中的气体的技术。

Read and understandthe instruction manual completely before operating orservicing this device.The warranties made by GfG with respect to the product are voided if the product is not used and serviced in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Please protect yourself and your employees by following them. The above does not alter statements regarding GfG’s warranties and conditions of sale and delivery.ApplicationandPurposeThe GMA 313 is a compact gas monitor for continuous monitoring ofambient air against carbon dioxide (CO2) hazards. Sensor and controller areintegrated in one casing. Should the CO2 concentration exceed a threshold,the GMA 313 gives an audible and visual warning. In addition to this, a relay is activated.Detectionprinciple-Infra-redThe GMA 313 uses the infra-red detection principle (NDIR) for accurate andreliable measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2). Infra-red light is lead throughthe sensor chamber. The gas from the ambient air enters the sensor chamber by means of diffusion. Carbon dioxide absorbs a part of the light in a narrow spectral region. The light remaining in this spectrum is measured by the detector. The difference between the light emitted and received is proportional to the gas concentration. Water vapor and other gases, which might be in the sensor chamber, do not affect the absorption of light in this spectral region. A special thermostat control eliminates temperature effects.Diffusion inlet IR - SourceSensor chamber Sensor signalIR - LightOptical filterOperational Notes Turning ON Once you have connected the GMA 313 to 110 V main voltage, the detector is turned on. Allow 30 minutes warm-up time. During this time, the yellow LED “F” and the red LED “A” are lit. During the warm-up period the GMA 313 cannot detect an increased CO 2 concentration. Once the warm-up time is completed, the GMA 313 turns to the detection and warning mode automatically.Function test Press button “T” for a short self-test of the gas monitor. Operational andfault LED as well as the buzzer and the alarm relay are shortly activated and checked for their function.Detection mode After the warm-up time the yellow and the red LED (“F” and “A”) go out. The GMA 313 turns to the detection mode automatically. The green LED “ON” lights and indicates, that the GMA 313 now monitors the ambient air continuously for hazards caused by carbon dioxide (CO 2).Display and operation elements“Reset” buttonSensor inlet“Test” button LED “Fault” - yellowLED “Alarm” - redAcoustic alarmAlarm for gas hazards The GMA 313 provides two alarm thresholds: Alarm 1 (low alarm) and Alarm 2 (high alarm). These thresholds are set to standard values. Should the carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration exceed a threshold, the GMA 313 gives a warning by means of the red alarm-LED and the buzzer. In addition to this, a relay is activated. The difference between alarm 1 and alarm 2 is indicated by pulsed or permanent alarm signals.Alarm 1 is non-latching and goes out automatically, when the gasconcentration has fallen below the threshold, i.e. if there are less than 1.5% Vol. CO 2. Alarm 2 is latching. Once it is triggered, it remains stored, even if the gas concentration has fallen below the setpoint. Alarm 2 must be reset by pressing the reset button “Q”.The buzzer in the GMA 313 can be reset at any time by pressing the reset button “Q”.The alarm relay is activated according to alarm 1 and alarm 2.Remote Reset with GMA 313 EQ (optional)The GMA 313 EQ is a remote alarm and reset unit. For connection of the remote reset GMA 313 EQ the gas monitor must include the component “External Reset”.Quick adjustment - when the yellow LED is lit If the yellow LED is lit, press the button “Q” for approx. 10 seconds to re-adjust the GMA 313. In case the yellow LED should not go out during this time, call for GfG service.Fault - when the red and yellow LEDs are lit In case of a fault, the yellow LED “F” and the red LED “A” at the GMA 313 and the alarm lamp at the remote reset GMA 313 EQ will be lit. A fault message is indicated:• During the warm-up period. If the yellow LED “F” does not go out after this period,the microprocessor or the memory module may be faulty.• In case of overrange.• If the IR source is faulty.In case of a fault, disconnect the GMA 313 from the main voltage for a few seconds. Then re-connect and allow another warm-up period of approx. 30 minutes. Should the unit still indicate a fault, call for GfG service.Alarm Threshold Signal Alarm Storing 1 1.5% Vol. CO2Pulsed alarm Non-latchingl 2 3.0% Vol. CO2Permanent alarm LatchingServiceChecking and adjusting the alarm thresholdsFor checking or adjusting the alarm thresholds, use the calibration adapter tosupply a test gas concentration (1.5 Vol. or 3% Vol.) of carbon dioxide (CO2)to the sensor. Adjustment is done by means of the buttons “T” and “Q”. Before you do any adjustment, make sure that the GMA 313 has been turned onfor at least 4 hours and is operating in the detection mode without any fault indications. Adhere to the following procedure to adjust the alarm thresholds:1. Fix the calibration adapter into the sensor inlet.2. Press button “Q” and keep it pressed, then press button “T” and keep both buttons pressed for approx. 3 seconds. Now the GMA 313 turns to service mode. The yellow LED “F” blinks in short intervals. In this mode the alarm signal from the relay is blocked. The GMA 313 returns automatically to detection mode after approx. 30 minutes, even if you do not do any adjustment.3. Use the calibration adapter to supply a carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration of 3% Vol.for adjustment of alarm threshold 2. Make sure that the flow rate is approx. 0.6 l/minute.4. Purge the sensor with the gas for at least 2 minutes. A permanent acoustic sound indicates that the sensor has adapted to the gas concentration.5. Once the sensor has adapted to the gas concentration, press button “Q” to acceptthe supplied concentration for alarm 2. Should the GMA 313 note a calibration error, the yellow “F” will light for approx. 5 seconds. In this case you should repeat the calibration from point 3. If you do not want to accept the supplied gas concentration, press button “T”.6. The yellow LED “F” blinks slowly, and you may - for a very accurate adjustment - set the alarm 1 threshold (points 7 to 9). Pressing button “T” again overrides the second adjustment, and the GMA 313 returns to detection mode.7. For adjusting the alarm 1 threshold use the calibration adapter and supply aconcentration of 1.5% Vol. carbon dioxide (CO2) to the sensor. Make sure that the flowrate is approx. 0.6 l/minute.8. Purge the sensor with the gas for approx. 2 minutes. A permanent acoustic sound indicates that the sensor has adapted to the gas concentration.9. Once the sensor has adapted to the gas concentration, press button “Q” to acceptthe supplied concentration for alarm 1. Should the GMA 313 note a calibration error, the yellow “F” will light for approx. 5 seconds. In this case you should repeat the calibration from point 7. If you do not want to accept the supplied gas concentration, press button “T”. The GMA 313 returns to detection mode.Maintenance and inspection are measures, which maintain the nominalstatus of the gas monitor and include regular checks and adjustments of the alarm setpoints. In addition to this, the functions of the gas monitor must be checked. Both maintenance and inspection may be done by an expert. The maintenance interval should not exceed 1 year according to BGI 836. In case of repair make sure that only the manufacturer’s genuine spare parts are being used.For deciding on the mounting position you have to know and to consider the ambient conditions, e.g. ventilation, exactly. Do not forget, furthermore, that carbon dioxide is heavier than air. Mount the GMA 313, therefore, approx. 12 inches from the floor. Make sure that the gases reach the sensor even in case of bad ventilation. The sensor inlet must be accessible and free from any obstacles after the installation. The GMA 313 is protected against water and dust (IP54). Additional safety against mechanical damage is provided by the impact protection (optional). The mounting lugs (optional) allow quick and easy wall mounting without having to open the top of the GMA 313.Accessories Part Number GMA 313 EQ External additl’ alarm/reset for complete sets 2313201-1GMA 313 Calibration adapter with tubing 2313203-1Mounting brackets for wall mounting 2313207-1Protective housing includes installation material 2313206-1Maintenance and inspection MountingContact protection The main supply and relay contacts of the GMA 313 provide insulation distances of 3 mm, i.e. they are designed for 110V operational insulation. In case a contact is operated on a contact-critical potential, the contacts closest to it are also considered as contact-critical. According to contact protection the contacts are not considered to be separated safely.

SPECIAL ISSUE PAPERAcoustic monitoring of gas emissions from the seafloor.Part II:a case study from the Sea of MarmaraGaye Bayrakci •Carla Scalabrin •Ste´phanie Dupre ´•Isabelle Leblond •Jean-Baptiste Tary •Nadine Lanteri •Jean-Marie Augustin •Laurent Berger•Estelle Cros •Andre´Ogor •Christos Tsabaris •Marc Lescanne •Louis Ge ´li Received:20May 2013/Accepted:5June 2014/Published online:22June 2014ÓSpringer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014Abstract A rotating,acoustic gas bubble detector,BOB (Bubble OBservatory)module was deployed during two surveys,conducted in 2009and 2011respectively,to study the temporal variations of gas emissions from the Marmara seafloor,along the North Anatolian Fault zone.The echo-sounder mounted on the instrument insonifies an angular sector of 7°during a given duration (of about 1h).Then it rotates to the next,near-by angular sector and so forth.When the full angular domain is insonified,the ‘‘pan and tilt system’’rotates back to its initial position,in order to start a new cycle (of about 1day).The acoustic data reveal that gas emission is not a steady process,with observed temporal variations ranging between a few minutes and 24h (from one cycle to the other).Echo-integration and inversion performed on the acoustic data as described inthe companion paper of Leblond et al.(Mar Geophys Res,2014),also indicate important variations in,respectively,the target strength and the volumetric flow rates of indi-vidual sources.However,the observed temporal variations may not be related to the properties of the gas source only,but reflect possible variations in sea-bottom currents,which could deviate the bubble train towards the neighboring sector.During the 2011survey,a 4-component ocean bottom seismometer (OBS)was co-located at the seafloor,59m away from the BOB module.The acoustic data from our rotating,monitoring system support,but do not provide undisputable evidence to confirm,the hypothesis formu-lated by Tary et al.(2012),that the short-duration,non-seismic micro-events recorded by the OBS are likely pro-duced by gas-related processes within the near seabed sediments.Hence,the use of a multibeam echosounder,or of several split beam echosounders should be preferred to rotating systems,for future experiments.Keywords Acoustic monitoring ÁGas emissions ÁSea of Marmara ÁWater column acoustics ÁNontectonic short-duration seismic signals ÁOcean bottom seismometerIntroductionNatural gas emissions from the seafloor is a common phenomenon that occurs worldwide,e.g.in coastal depo-sition features,delta fan deposits,hydrocarbon-bearing sedimentary basins and accretionary prisms (Judd and Hovland 2007).Over the last two decades,numerous studies have been carried out to recognize the importance of submarine gas emissions,in a large variety of submarine environments,e.g.:at the West Spitzbergen continentalG.Bayrakci (&)ÁC.Scalabrin ÁS.Dupre´ÁI.Leblond Ánteri ÁJ.-M.Augustin ÁL.Berger ÁE.Cros ÁA.Ogor ÁL.Ge´li Marine Geosciences,IFREMER,BP 70,29280Plouzane´,France e-mail:G.Bayrakci@G.BayrakciNational Oceanography Centre,University of Southampton,European Way,Southampton SO143ZH,UK I.LeblondENSTA Bretagne,29806Brest,FranceJ.-B.TaryDepartment of Meteorology and Geophysics,University of Vienna,Vienna,AustriaC.TsabarisInstitute of Oceanography,Hellenic Centre for Marine Research,Athens,GreeceM.LescanneTOTAL S.A.,avenue Larribau,64018Pau Cedex,FranceMar Geophys Res (2014)35:211–229DOI 10.1007/s11001-014-9227-7margin(Knies et al.2004;Mienert et al.2005;Westbrook et al.2008;Hustoft et al.2009);at the Ha˚kon Mosby Mud Volcano(Sauter et al.2006;Foucher et al.2010);at the Tommeliten and Gullfaksfields in the North Sea(Hovland and Sommerville1985;Hovland2007;Schneider Von Deimling et al.2010,2011);in the Santa Barbara Basin (Fischer1978;Leifer and Clark2002);in the Nile deep-sea fan(Dupre´et al.2008,2010a;Bayon et al.2013);in the Black Sea(Limonov et al.1997;Greinert2008);in the Marmara Sea(Kuscu et al.2005;Ge´li et al.2008; Gasperini et al.2012).The gases emitted from cold seeps are principally com-posed of methane.The importance of methane emissions for a number of societal(e.g.the assessment of the con-tribution of submarine methane sources in global budget) and environmental issues(e.g.hydrocarbon leak detection) conducting to economic ones,has fostered the interest of the scientific community for understanding the natural degas-sing processes from the seafloor.A variety of behaviors such as continuous,transient(periodic or sporadic)or eruptive,have been reported for seep activities,and tem-poral variations on scales ranging from tidal to sub-hourly periods have been documented(e.g.Leifer et al.2004).The different causes proposed to explain the observed variations include:tides(Boles et al.2001;Tryon et al.2002);atmo-spheric(Mattson and Likens1990)or swell-induced(Leifer and Boles2005a,b)pressure changes;variations in bottom current conditions(Scheider Von Deimling et al.2010); man made perturbations such as drilling operations(Wever et al.2006);pressure changes in depth related to e.g.sedi-ment instabilities;gas hydrates dissociation(Westbrook et al.2009)and earthquake activity(Obzhirov et al.2004; Mau et al.2007;Kuscu et al.2005;Kopf et al.2010).In parallel,experimental and theoretical,quantitative methods have been developed for the characterization of gas bubbles released from the seabed into the water column (e.g.Wheeler and Gardiner1989;Sills et al.1991;Briggs and Richardson1996;Leighton and White2011).In-situ methods for the quantification of the released gas include direct observations(e.g.Boles et al.2001;Leifer and Boles 2005a,b);combination of gasflux-meters and pore-pres-sure measurements at the seabed interface(Kopf et al. 2009);measurements of dissolved gas concentrations in seawater samples from CTD equipment(which measure conductivity and temperature with depth)(Mau et al. 2007).Remote,water column acoustic studies are also carried out with the use of deep-towed side scan sonars (Merewether et al.1985;Dupre´et al.2010a),ship-borne and deep-sea vehicle-mounted single-beam(Hornafius et al.1999;Artemov et al.2007;Foucher et al.2010; Ostrovsky et al.2008);with split-beam(Greinert et al. 2006)or multibeam echosounders(Schneider Von Deim-ling et al.2007;Nikolovska et al.2008;Schneider Von Deimling and Papenberg,2012,Dupre´et al.2010b);with horizontal-looking sonar mounted on a remotely operated vehicle(ROV)(Nikolovska et al.2008);and with lander-based multibeam systems(Greinert2008;Schneider Von Deimling et al.2010).Horizontally insonifying hydroacoustic devices enable the remote monitoring of the study area and do not affect the very sensitivefluid system and its environment(Gre-inert2008).Advantages and drawbacks of mutibeam ver-sus splitbeam systems are discussed in a companion paper (Leblond et al2014).Multibeam and sonar systems mounted on ROVs cover a wider area and allow simulta-neous monitoring of several emission sources.On the other hand,splitbeam systems have the advantage to be handled easily during deployment and recovery.They require less energy than multibeam systems,and offer thus longer recording periods.Their capacity to locate the target in three dimensions allows to calibrate them easily.A splitbeam echosounder mounted on a pan and tilt system is used for the present study.We report observa-tions from the Sea of Marmara seafloor and water column, obtained with an acoustic module demonstrator,hereafter referred to as BOB(Bubble OBservatory),specifically designed for the horizontal insonification of the water column.We discuss the spatial and temporal variations of seeps and explore the feasibility of assessing the volu-metric bubbleflows using this device.Then we propose to use the acoustic data to interpret non-seismic,transient signals recorded by an ocean bottom seismometer(OBS) located in the close vicinity of BOB.Study areaThe Sea of Marmara is an inland sea located in NW Tur-key,linked to the Black Sea and to the Aegean Sea by the Bosphorus and the Dardanelle straits respectively.The Sea of Marmara consists in a narrow northern shelf,a broader southern shelf and a deeper middle part occupied by three deep basins called Tekirdag,Central and Cinarcik basins, separated by two highs,respectively the Western and the Central highs(Fig.1)(Rangin et al.2001).The Sea of Marmara is considered to be a seismic gap,between two strike slip segments of the North-Anatolian Fault(e.g. Sengo¨r et al.2005),which ruptured during the Ganos (1912)to the west and Izmit and Duzce(1999)earthquakes to the east(Le Pichon et al.2001).After the1999destructive earthquakes,the Marmara Sea has been extensively surveyed with numerous marine expeditions conducted.In the Gulf of Izmit repeated sur-veys showed that the intensity of methane emissions increased after August17th,1999,Mw7.4earthquake (Alpar1999;Kusc¸u et al.2002;Kuscu et al.2005).Thewidespread occurrence of free gas within the shallow sediment layers and the water column was documented with deep-towed side scan and towed singlebeam sonars (Ge´li et al.2008),sub-bottom profiler data(Tary2011, pp199–218)and ship-borne multibeam echosounder data (Dupre´et al.2010b).Cold seeps and associated seabed expressions such as methane-derived carbonates(Cre´mie`re et al.2013),dark reduced sediment patches(resulting from the anaerobic oxidation of methane,Boetius et al.2000) and bacterial mats,were discovered in relation with the fault zone(Armijo et al.2005;Zitter et al.2008)which, confirmed the link between faults andfluid venting(Ge´li et al.2008).The emitted gas at the Marmara seafloor is mainly composed of methane with the presence of gas hydrates at the Western High(Bourry et al.2009).In the Marmara Sea,sea-level variations are mainly due to meteorological and oceanographic conditions of the region.The entire sea is not large enough to generate its own tides.The co-oscillations with the neighboring seas are limited due to the presence of two shallow,narrow and long straights and a two-layered water exchange system. Hence,tide amplitudes do not exceed3cm in the Marmara Sea(Yu¨ce1993;Alpar and Yuce1997).Bubble observation(BOB)module:instrument description and methodsInstrument descriptionThe bubble observatory(BOB)module is a standalone acoustic module developed by IFREMER and equipped with a Simrad ER60echosounder and a120kHz split-beam transducer for upward or horizontal insonification of the surrounding water column at the seafloor.The deployment depth range is constrained by the pressure(a)(b)(c)Fig.1a Bathymetric map(Rangin et al.2001)of the Marmara Sea with200m contours.Instrument

seafloor bathymetry c Marmara2011BOB module deployments.Black line indicates the location of chirp profile shown in Fig.13qualification of the transducer and limited to 1500m below sea-surface.BOB could be connected to a cable seafloor observatory considering an average power consumption of 30W (24V)and an average bandwidth of 36Kbits/s if real-time data processing were required.However,BOB was designed to be used as a demonstrator to provide a preliminary acoustic exploration of a site of interest and to test the feasibility of detection of different targets.There-fore,it could be used to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of acoustic data monitoring before the installation of a cable seafloor observatory.As a demonstrator,BOB can be easily deployed with a vessel A-frame and provides autonomous and continuous data acquisition for at least 3weeks.The echosounder transducer is mounted on a ‘‘pan and tilt system’’allowing BOB to steadily insonify a fixed direc-tion or to scan different directions.Data presented here were acquired by using a horizontal scanning option according to the following parameters and strategy:data acquisition during a given duration S from one horizontal angular sector of 7°by ‘‘pinging’’every 1.5s with a pulse duration of 1024l s;7°clockwise rota-tion to insonify the next,near-by angular sector of 7°and so forth.When the full angular domain is covered,the ‘‘pan and tilt system’’rotates back to its initial position,in order to start a new cycle (Fig.2).The tilt was set equal to 4°upward in order to avoid reflections from the seafloor such as small-scale relief.EchogramsThe acoustic data recorded by BOB are displayed as ‘‘echograms’’(see example in Fig.3),which characterize the back-scattered signals from one given angular sector of 7°recorded during a given record duration of ‘‘T’’(see section 4,T is 72and 60min for the Marmesonet 2009and the Marmara 2011surveys,respectively).Echograms (e.g.Fig.3)represent the volume back-scattering strength (S v),the logarithmic expression (in dB)of the volume back-scattering coefficient (s v)which is a summation of the contribution from all targets within the sampling volume(see Leblond et al.2014).The x-axis on echograms rep-resents time,which is obtained by multiplying the ping number by 1.5s,the time interval between pings.The y-axis represents the horizontal distance from the BOB module.The distance is obtained by multiplying the number of samples by 0.194cm,the distance travelled by the echo between two successive time samples.Echo-integrationEchoes may either come from single gas bubbles,well enough separated from their neighbors,either from clusters of bubbles and possibly coming from different sources.Therefore,the bubble abundance within the insonified area cannot be approached by simply counting the individual bubble echoes.The alternative technique is the echo-inte-gration (Dragesund and Olsen 1965).This technique allows the quantification of the target (e.g.gas bubbles or fish bladders)density in the acoustic beam,whether or not the received signal contains overlapping echoes from different sources.The echo-integration was performed on separate files per sector,with the water column acoustics code Movies 3D (IFREMER Ó).No filtering has been applied to echo-grams since the gas bubble sources were easily recogniz-able on the raw data.For each given sector,the echo-integration was carried out on layers of 2meters in the horizontal range and with ESU (Elementary Sampling Unit)equal to the whole record period of one sector (i.e.72min and 60min in 2009—Fig.4and in 2011—Fig.5respectively).The echo-integration per layer allows locat-ing the backscatters in horizontal distance within the in-sonified sector of 7°.The maximum display distance,above which no signal can be extracted from the back-ground noise,was 80m and 110m for the Marmesonet 2009and the Marmara 2011data,respectively.The result of echo-integration is expressed in Mean Volume Back-scattering Strength (MVBS)(Simmonds and MacLennan 2005),hereafter noted S v which is the loga-rithmic measure of the mean of the volumebackscatteringFig.2Schematic description of the Bubble Observatory (BOB)module.The tilt angle is set to 4°upward in order to avoid seafloor reflections.The pan angle is set to 7°coefficient s v [S v =109log 10(mean(s v ))],whose units are dB re 1/m.In the following Figs.4and 5,echo-inte-gration results are expressed in MVBS.Since a linear relationship between bubble density and echo-integrated intensity is expected (Foote 1983),the observed MVBS variations can be seen a proxy for the flux rate variations.It is important to note here that during the two field expeditions described hereafter (i.e.Marmesonet 2009and Marmara 2011)the echosounder was calibrated at atmospheric pressure with the procedure described by Fo-ote (1982)and Foote et al.(1987).No in situ calibration was performed.However,before in situ deployments,many tests considering various bubble sizes (including the ones observed at the Cinarcik Basin and the Central High)were carried out at *atmospheric pressure during pool experiments.The impedance contrast between the gas bubbles and the water is high enough that influence of pressure is negligible.Hence,the differences betweentheFig.3Example of acoustic data acquired by the BOB

sourcebackscattering of bubbles of same sizes but at different pressures can be disregarded (Greinert and Nutzel 2004).Computation of flow ratesFor each identified gas bubble source,flow rates were computed using the specific methodology developed in the companion paper of Leblond et al.(2014)and based on inverse modeling,as used in fishery acoustics.Volumetric flows presented in the present paper are derived from an average of the results obtained using the different models tested in Leblond et al.(2014):Stanton model for gaseous prolate spheroid with equivalent sphere,Stanton model for gaseous sphere with equivalent sphere,Stanton model for gaseous sphere with multiplicative factor Stanton (1989)and Medwin model for gaseous sphere with multiplicative factor (Medwin and Clay 1998;see also Leblond et al.2014).The physical parameters required for the inversemodeling,the size distribution of gas bubbles and the ascent rate,were estimated as hereafter described.Tentative in-situ estimation of bubble sizesIn-situ visual estimations of the bubble size were obtained using the video camera records that were collected in 2007with the Nautile submersible (Henry et al.2007).During four dives (respectively in the Tekirdag Basin,in the Ci-narcik Basin,on the Western High and on the Central High,Table 1),gas bubbles were sampled using the specifically designed,PEGAZ gas sampler (Bourry et al.2009),which allows in situ fluid sampling with conservation of the initial pressure.PEGAZ consists in a glass cone,for trapping the bubbles over the gas source.When the cone is full,the gas is stored in a titan container,the opening of which can be remotely triggered from the submersible.The PEGAZ glass cone is clearly visible on the video records,allowing a 8mm mark on the glass to be used as a reference scale for mea-suring the bubble sizes with the ImageJ software (Fig.6).In order to allow a statistical estimation,the bubble size mea-surements have been systematically repeated,every time when the camera moved to another plan.Limitations were due to:(1)the image resolution which,for smaller bubbles,didn’t allow zooming;(2)the image blurring;(3)water turbidity and the presence of suspended particles;(4)the combined effect of camera’s obturation speed and the bub-bles ascent speed;and (5)the difficulty in the identification of isolated bubbles and in not considering them twice in consecutive video images.A great number of measurements were performed.The resulting histogram shows a relatively well-defined Gaussian distribution of measurements,allow-ing an average value to be computed.In the Cinarcik Basin (1,248m of water depth),up to 100observations of isolated bubbles yield an average bubble diameter of 5mm (within an interval of 1–8mm,Fig.6c).On top of the Central High (347m water depth),only 13measurements were made,due to the intense water turbidity,yielding a bubble diameter of 3.7mm (varying between 1an 6mm,Fig.6d).Although these measurements were made on videos recorded in 2007,we consider that they provide an acceptable estimate for average the size of the visible bubbles that were present in the Cinarcik Basin in 2009and on top of the Central High in 2011.It is important to note here that we do not take into account the possible effect of non-visible,micro-bubbles (of radius \0.1mm)that could induce resonance phenomena at 120kHz.Tentative estimation of the ascent speed of bubbles The sensitivity of flux calculations to ascent rate is dis-cussed in a companion paper (Leblond et al.2014).The ascent rate of gas bubbles is closely related to bubble sizeD i s t a n c e f r o m B O B m o d u l e (m )Distance from BOB module (m)(a)(b)(c)Fig.4Echo-integration results of Marmesonet 2009BOB data in the Cinarcik Basin.The

sediment par-ticles,organic matter and oil(Clift et al.1978;Greinert et al.2006).Based on theoretical calculations(Clift et al. 1978),ascent rate values may be inferred from the average bubble diameter that was measured in situ e.g.5and 3.7mm in Cinarcik Basin and Central High respectively; imply an ascent rate of17–18cm/s.The ascent rate was also tentatively estimated using the track of echoes displayed on an echogram collected with a vertically insonifying echosounder as described e.g.by Greinert et al.(2006).During the Marmesonet2009expedition,sediment cores were taken where the BOB was deployed in2011.Gas bubbles were expelled in the water column,as the core was pulled out from the surface sedi-ments.The ascent rate that was inferred from the echoes of the rising bubbles in response to the vertical12kHz shipboard echosounder was*20cm/s(Fig.VIII.3in Ge´li et al.2009).This value is consistent with in situ visual observations of bubbles escaping(17–18cm/s)after pen-etration in the sediments of50cm long cores by the Na-utile submersible.Bubble size and shape from induced escapes may be different from natural emissions,as(a)(c)(b)(d)Fig.5Echo-integration results of

from a video taken by Nautile submersible,showing the 8mm reference frame of the PEGAZ tool.b Bubble size distribution at the Cinarcik Basin.c Bubble size distribution at the Central Higheach.As a result,an angular domain of154°(divided in22 sectors of7°)between285°N and70°N,was insonified during every single cycle of26h.At the end of each cycle the transducer turned to thefirst sector in order to begin to acquire a new cycle.Four weeks of data acquisition were initially scheduled,unfortunately only four daily cycles were recorded,due to a technical failure.Results from the second cycle of Marmesonet dataset were not considered in this paper since anomalously high backscattering values were found that are not yet fully understood.In order to map the distribution of seafloor gas emissions at the scale of the Sea of Marmara,ship-borne multibeam survey of the water column was also conducted during the Marmesonet2009expedition(Dupre´et al.2010b).Seafloor and water column data were acquired with the Simrad EM302multibeam echosounder(27–33kHZ,288beams, beam width of1°92°and a pulse length of2or5ms) with automatic swath width control and equidistant sounding pattern over water depths varying from300to 1270m.Water column amplitude values were stored along more than4,500km acoustic tracks.Approximately70% (*2,900km2)of the North Marmara Trough(northern and deeper part of the Marmara Sea where the seafloor depth is [300m)has been covered in21days of acquisition (Dupre´et al.2010b).Sub-bottom profiler(1.8–5.3kHz) data covering the whole North Marmara Trough was also acquired during the Marmesonet2009expedition.An ocean bottom seismometer(OBS09)was deployed 150m away from the BOB module(Fig.1a,b).Unfortu-nately,the data are affected by a characteristic noise due to heavy ship traffic preventing from studying correlations between the acoustic and the seismologic data.On the three echograms displayed in Fig.3,fixed reflectors(FR)such as bathymetric features appear with low values of-75dB within a distance of less than20m from the transducer.These reflections are imaged by sec-ondary lobes and hence appear with lower S v values than the other scatters.These can be easily distinguished from the other targets such as gas bubble sources,thanks to their static and continuous appearance during the whole record period of the sector.In contrast,gas bubble sources appear as pixels exhibiting variations in S v(between-40and -65dB),likely due to variations in gasflow rate and in the number of insonified bubbles.On the echograms,gas-related reflectors can be seen at a distance of,respectively, 39,41and43m from the transducer with S v values varying between-40and-65dB.These three gas bubble sources have different behaviors.The gas source located at39m from the BOB module appears continuous over the72min record period and over four cycles(with more than1day interval between cycles).The second source located at 41m from BOB is active over about55min(during the first cycle).It is not observed at the beginning and at the end of thefirst cycle,suggesting that it is a transient source. The emission duration varies among the cycles from*55 min(cycle1)to*38min(1,500pings,cycle3)and more than1h(cycle4).The third and farther source is also a transient but with a shorter duration of gas emissions, varying between2and15min approximately.The acoustic data acquired by BOB in the Cinarcik Basin during the Marmesonet2009survey show therefore that the gas emission may be continuous or transient with a variety of emission durations.The echoes from gas bubbles cannot be confused with that from benthos orfish bladders,as it is unlucky thatfishes stay immobile during one hour in the water column.The similarity of the echogram patterns and the backscatter values observed in situ and during pool experiments(Leblond et al.2014)brings an evidence that the observed echoes are related to gas bubbles escaping from the seabed.The main source of misinterpretation of echograms may thus be the echoes from the gas bubbles within the neighboring sectors imaged with the side-lobes(see SR label in Fig.3).The sector-rotated configuration allowing the insonification of a larger area increases on the other hand the probability of such misinterpretation.But with a careful joint-analysis of echograms of neighboring sectors, it is still possible to identify the real places of reflectors with the amplitude difference between echoes imaged by the main and side-lobes.The echo-integration results of Marmesonet2009data (Fig.4)show four distinct persistent and three transient Gas Emission Sites(GES).GES1located on the9th and10th sectors is observed on several layers between64and80m distance from BOB suggesting a site with multiple sources. GES2spreads over several sectors(sector12,13,14,15and 16)between30and50m distance from BOB and probably originates from several gas sources.Sources within GES2 appear well aligned along a NW–SE orientation.GES3and GES4seem to be associated with a single source or several small sources spatially concentrated. They are respectively located within sector10,at a distance of56–58m from BOB,and within sector14,at a distance of16m from BOB.These sources have smaller MVBS values than GES1and GES2,because their emission type is not continuous but transient.Since the echo-integration is carried out on an elementary sampling unit(ESU)of 72min,they appear with lower MVBS values.The other layers,where some MVBS values range between-70and -65dB,correspond to other gas related sources with transient emission type or to some reflections fromfixed reflectors such as small-scale bathymetric highs imaged by side lobes.All above described GESs exhibit spatial and temporal variations over the4days-long record period.A hypothesis could be that the sources forming one given GES could be。
