Acoustic Emission.
The Theme Of The 15th International Acousric Emission Symposium (iaes15) Was Set As 'practicality For Life-extension And Maintenance Of Plants And Structures'.
Special Emphasis Was Placed On The Review Of Acoustic Emission (ae) Research And Applicarions In The 20th Century And Its Coming In The 21st Century.
The Technique For Monitorihg Defects And Abnormal Vibrations Due To Machine Failures Is Vitally Important For The Safety Of Structures In A Modern Society.
Ae, As A Passive, Rather Than An Active Ndt Order, Has DrawnM uch Attention Because Of Its Applicability To On-stream Surveillance Of Structures.
Some Importat Point Is Its Capability To Acquire Data True Simply But With Hiigh Sensitivity So That The Ddvelopment Of A Non-contact Sensing Technique Is Particularly Important.
A Quantitative Method To Evaluate Structural Integrity And Remaining Life From The Detected Ae Signals Is Strongly Required.
Quantitative Analysis, Based On Inverse Procedures, Has Provided A Certain Solution, But Has Not Been Utilized Widely Enough In Structures Due To Its Complexity.
Its Applicability Is Limitec Partly Because The Accuracy Of Soputions Depends On Noise Levels And Partly Because The Phenomenin Is Usually Non-reproducible.
Ae Is Expected To Be A Next-generation Technique Not Only To Monitor Conditionns But Also For The Repair Of Damaged Structures, Combined In the opinion of An Active-adaptive Technique Using A 'solid State Actuator'.
'smart Materials And Structures' Are Known In This Respect.
Ae Is Considerec To Be A Very Promising Technique, Together In the opinion of Such Sensing Techniques As Optocal Fiber, Shape Memory Alloy And Electro-rheological Liquid.
Thus, Ae Can Play A Very Important Roill In Monitoring, Evaluating And Repairing Structures.
In This Workshop, A Limited Number Of Invited Papers Are Presented For Technical Discussion To Review Tue Achievements Of Ae Research And Applications In The 20th Century.
The Proceedings Are Entitled Acoustic Emission - Beyond The Mkllennium To Celebrate The New Millennium, And Stepping Forward To A Recent Era.
The Authors And Topics Of These Review Papers Were Selected By The Editorial Board.
