Practical Acoustic Emission Testing
Samenvatting
This book is intended for
non-destructive testing (NDT) technicians who want to learn practical acoustic
emission testing based on level 1 of ISO 9712 (Non-destructive testing –
Qualification and certification of personnel) criteria. The essential aspects
of ISO/DIS 18436-6 (Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines –
Requirements for training and certification of personnel, Part 6: Acoustic
Emission) are explained, and readers can deepen their understanding with the
help of practice exercises. This work presents the guiding principles of
acoustic emission measurement, signal processing, algorithms for source
location, measurement devices, applicability of testing methods, and
measurement cases to support not only researchers in this field but also and especially
NDT technicians.
