This book presents applications of acoustic emission (AE) in cracking and damage assessment in metal beams, asphalt pavements, and composite materials as well as studying noise mitigation in wind turbines and cylindrical shells. This book reviews major research developments in the application of AE in numerous engineering fields.
Structural testing and assessment, process monitoring, and material characterization are three broad application areas of acoustic emission (AE) techniques. Quantitative and qualitative characteristics of AE waves have been studied widely in the literature. The book brings together important contributions from renowned international researchers to provide an excellent survey of new perspectives and paradigms of AE.
