Principles of the Acoustic Emission (AE) Method and Signal Processing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practical Acoustic Emission Testing

Abstract

Physical principles of the Acoustic Emission (AE) and the signal processing are presented in this chapter. The mechanism inducing AE waves are explained in comparison with that of an interpolate earthquake. Types and characteristics of AE sources are also explained. Fundamentals of AE propagation in solids are discussed. As for the evaluation several promising AE parameters and such AE source location techniques as 1D, 2D and zonal location are explained.
