ACOUSTIC EMISSION TESTING PROCESS
A simple representation of the AE process is shown in Figure. The figure has been exaggerated to detail the individual AE components. The applied load (force, pressure, thermal gradient, and so on) produces a stress field in the inspection area, in this example a bridge girder. The stress introduced stimulates discontinuities to produce acoustic emission, which is picked up by strategically placed sensors. This mechanical signal is converted to an electrical signal, which is amplified and sent to the AE instrumentation where it is processed, filtered, and stored for later analysis. The AE instrumentation is also designed to collect data about the applied stress (load, pressure, thermal gradient, and so on) throughout the testing period so that it can be correlated to the precise moment that the acoustic emission occurred.
