Acoustic emission is an effective method of locating the rubbing fault. In order to solve the problem that satisfactory location accuracy is difficult to obtain because of the waveform distortion caused by signal propagation during the application of time delay estimation method in acoustic emission position estimation, beam-forming technique is applied to acoustic emission source location. Sim...

Composites have been widely used in the aerospace industry. Due to the requirement of a high safety for such structures, they could be considered for health monitoring. The acoustic emission approach is one of most effective methods for identifying damages in composites. In this article, standard specimens were made from carbon fibers and the epoxy resin, with the [03/902/...

The acoustic emission technique is proposed for assessing the irreversible phenomena occurring during hydrogen absorption/desorption cycling in LaNi5. In particular, we have studied, through a parametric analysis of in situ detected signals, the correlation between acoustic emission (AE) parameters and the processes occurring during the activation of an intermetallic compound. Decreases in the ...
