DETERMINATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF FLAW ACCUMULATION AND ESTIMATION OF THE CRITERION OF FAILURE FROM THE RECONSTRUCTED VALUES OF THE ACOUSTIC-EMISSION EVENT FLUX

The practical application of the method of reconstructing the flux of acoustic emission (AE) events from recorded signals is considered. A k ink on the reconstructed intensity of the AE event flux divides the fr acture kinetics into two parts: accumulation of microdeformation event s and exponential multiplication of microflaws. A method is described for estimating the flaw accumulation parameters from the reconstructed . AE event flux. The results were used to refine the concentration cri terion for the failure of solids.
