A vast amount of research has been carried out towards the goal of quantifying changes
related to the fatigue damaging process in materials throughout the fatigue life. However, no …

An important objective of acoustic emission (AE) non-destructive monitoring is to accurately
identify approaching critical damage and to avoid premature failure by means of the …

A modification of the original b-value (Gutenberg-Richter parameter) is proposed to evaluate
local damage of reinforced concrete structures subjected to dynamical loads via the acoustic …

Detecting welding defects in industrial equipment (welded joints and built-up structures) is a
key aspect in evaluating the probability of failure in different situations. Acoustic emission …

This paper focuses on the study of the stages IIa and IIb in Paris region of fatigue crack
growth (FCG) for base metal and weld specimens of 316LN stainless steel (SS) by using …

The acoustic emission (AE) waveforms from a fatigue crack advancing in a thin metallic plate
possess diverse and complex spectral signatures. In this article, we analyze these waveform …

Abstract Development of fatigue cracking is affecting the structural performance of many of
welded steel bridges in the United States. One of the main sources of fatigue cracking is out …

This paper presents an investigation of assessment of fatigue crack growth (FCG) of 316LN
stainless steel using the acoustic emission (AE) monitoring technique. A new AE parameter …

Modular bridge expansion joints (MBEJs) are commonly used in bridges and are often
subjected to fatigue damages, which necessitate fatigue monitoring of MBEJs to ensure the …

Acoustic Emission (AE) application for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has undergone a
swift advance through research and innovation in recent times. The AE monitoring is widely …
