Ig. Alekseev et al., ACOUSTIC-EMISSION PARAMETERS THAT CONVEY INFORMATION ABOUT A SOLITARYBRITTLE CRACK, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 30(12), 1994, pp. 910-914
Bared on an analysis of the waveform of the primary acoustic emission
signal, the peak value of the acoustic emission signal amplitude is id
entified as a parameter that provides direct information about a crack
. The dimensions of the crack and the elastic energy density at its or
igin are estimated (in direct calibration of the electroacoustic chann
el) during the flexure testing of samples in the rest configuration of
a beam with built-in ends.
