3. OVERVIEW
Acoustic Emission (AE) Analysis is an extremely powerful technology of non-destructive testing.

4. SOURCES OF AE
If the elastic limit is exceeded a fracture occurs immediately,or after a certain plastic deformation.This rapid release of elastic energy is what we call an AE event.

5. AN AE TESTING METHOD
The test object must be stressed mechanically in order to have local defects grow and emit the ultrasound pulses under normal conditions.The AE analysis listens to the right defects that are evaluated at the moment of their occurrence.

7. TRANSIENT AND CONTINUOUS SIGNALS

8. AE PARAMETERS
One has to determine the most important parameters of the waveforms in order to compare the results of the structure under test with a database of defect-free and defect containing test objects.

10. CONCLUSION
We can detects and interprets events resulting from these crack processes and can identify locate and display a beginning damage within very short time.
The AE analysis can offers great potential for use as a continuous monitoring technique, it also showing the good consensus between the men of knowledge.
