4 Preface This book addresses one of the most interesting techniques used for the non-destructive evaluation of materials: The acoustic emission technique (AET). Compared to other non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, AET can monitor changes in materials behavior over a long time and without moving one of its components i.e. sensors. This makes the technique quite unique along with the ability to detect crack propagations occurring not only on the surface but also deep inside a material. Consequently, AET is an important addition to NDT methods surveying actively a structure by scanning for geometric defects as well as to visual inspection methods observing a materials surface. There are many reports on successful AE applications in engineering at a broad variety of materials, material compositions and structures. Applications to many different materials are addressed in this book, but the success of these applications does not necessarily mean that the AET is easy to be applied. Depending on the degree of heterogeneity of the material and the complexity of the structure under test there could exist a variety of problems that need to be solved. The status of applications ranges from scientific/experimental to industrial/routine. A monitoring experiment or application should therefore take the experience into account that is compiled in this book. Although the setup necessary to conduct AE measurements appear to be very easy on the forehand, many issues need to be solved to obtain reliable results and to interpret them in the right way. The introduction will give some ideas about techniques and the frame of applications addressed in this book. It will also draw boundaries to related techniques. Chap. 2 summarizes the historical backgrounds of AET and some names of the researchers being responsible for significant discoveries and improvements. Since the choice of sensors and instruments influences the quality of the recorded data, Chap. 3 is dedicated to these issues. Due to the complexity of the material or structure and vice versa, the degree of accuracy or detailing of information should vary in different classes of AE applications. Where the number of AE phenomena in a certain time period exceeds the amount of data where full signal waveforms can be recorded or analyzed, the online extraction of data called parameters out of these waveforms shall still give valuable information. The parametric AE analysis techniques to be performed are described in Chap. 4. Chap. 5 summarizes basics of signal-based analysis techniques.
5 VI Preface One of the most important features of AET is the ability to localize the source of an AE event. Following the evolution of source locations, the technique can lead to a better insight into the materials behavior under load resulting in the four-dimensional image of defect developments. Chap. 6 describes in detail most of the existing techniques and algorithms for the source localization. However, an AE signal contains much more information about the fracture process and source parameters. Therefore, the two following Chaps. 7 and 8 are dedicated to describe the mathematical and physical principles of AET. Additionally, this closed the first part of this book dealing more with the background and basic principles. The second part is mostly addressed to the practical engineer giving after some general remarks (Chap. 9) numerous examples of AET to applications including AE in concrete (Chap. 10), rock (Chap. 11) and wood (Chap. 12). These are followed by chapters dealing with superstructures (Chap. 13) and substructures (Chap. 14). Since the use of cables limits sometimes the number of successful AE applications, Chap. 15 describes AE methods based on wireless sensor networks. Wireless techniques demand a new class of data processing procedures that are called array techniques as summarized. Finally for applications, it is essential to be aware of the limitations and accuracy of AET as well as the necessary skills of the operators handling the equipment and analyzing the data. Chap. 16 will give an introduction to these issues. The editors hope that the subdivision of this book into the first part dealing more with basic principles and the second with a selection of applications is useful to the reader. In some chapters, redundancies of similar problems addressed by different authors are allowed with purpose. This should demonstrate the benefits of diverse approaches to problems. The described techniques have by far not reached their full potential and the developments in the field of microelectronics and sensing techniques will certainly lead to further improvements of these methods in the next years. The editors would like to acknowledge first of all the contributions by their colleagues acting as authors of the individual chapters. They certainly represent some of the most active and respected scientists in their field. The editors are also grateful for the help of Mrs. Anne Lehan, Mrs. Ingeborg Bathelt and Mrs. Lioba Elli-Meier that were hard working on the preparation and formatting of the manuscripts. This book would certainly not have been possible without their help. Finally are all readers encouraged to suggest corrections and additions to the editors that will be included in a future edition.
