Vi. Ivanov et Va. Mirgazov, SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE FREQUENCY AND IMPULSE CHARACTERISTICS OF ACOUSTIC-EMISSION TRANSDUCERS, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 29(1), 1993, pp. 42-49
It is shown that the choice of the system of characteristics of acoust
ic-emission transducers must be related to the type of object being te
sted. When investigating pulsed acoustic emission one must use the imp
ulse characteristics of the transducers, and when analyzing continuous
acoustic emission one must use the frequency characteristics. Simple
theoretical procedures which enable one to relate the impulse and freq
uency characteristics are considered
