TESTING
Acoustic emission generation of transient elastic waves
produced by a sudden redistribution of stress in a material.
structure is subjected to an external stimulus (change in
pressure, load, or temperature), localized sources trigger the
release of energy, in the form of stress waves, which propagate
to the surface and are recorded by sensors
Versatility of Acoustic Emission Testing (AET), it has many
industrial applications (e.g. assessing structural integrity,
detecting flaws, testing for leaks, or monitoring weld quality)
and is used extensively as a research tool.
It travels in straight
lines at the speed of
light
The useful part is
divided between Short
and Long wavelengths
Use of the correct
wavelength is essential
Equipment
Non Contact
Rapid Scanning
Data can be recorded in differing
formats
Images produced are
comprehensive & reliable
Is there a viable alternative?
