Non-velocity based analysis of passive ultrasonic signal for source location detection in composite plates: a pilot study

Acoustic Emission (AE) evaluation is one of the fast growing non-destructive techniques, owing to its ability to reveal in advance of any impending failure of a building structure. This capability makes the so called passive ultrasonic technique a very good tool in structural health monitoring; espe...

Non-velocity based analysis of passive ultrasonic signal for source location detection in composite plates: a pilot study

The present study investigates the energy attenuation of AE signals in thin composite plate and utilized the attenuation pattern into non-velocity based source location detection.
