NSI conference
Acoustic Emission Testing (AE) Microscopic evaluationRadiography (RT) – Uses high energy photons (X-
ray machine)
04/22/23 NSI conference 2
Different methods of NDT testing
AE is the transient elastic energy which is generated from the material due to fracture, deformation, dislocation or discontinuity in the material itself
AE technology is used to examine the defect, flaw and formation of cracks in structural materials (Health monitoring of structures).
04/22/23 NSI conference 3
Acoustic Emission (AE) Overview
Sounds made by a material, structure, or machine in use or under load are heard and analyzed to determine its "state of health”
One or more sensors are attached to the object and the sounds are analyzed using computer based instruments
Noises may arise from:– crack growth – material changes (such as
corrosion)– friction

AE Principle
• Peak amplitude - The maximum of AE signal. dB=20log10(Vmax/1µvolt)-preamlifier gain
• Energy – Integral of the rectified voltage signal over the duration of the AE hit.
• Duration – The time from the first threshold crossing to the end of the last threshold crossing.
• Counts – The number of AE signal exceeds threshold.• Rise time - The time from the first threshold crossing to the maximum
amplitude. • Count rate - Number of counts per time unit.
04/22/23 NSI conference 5
AE HIT and Parameters
• During Production: welding, heat treatment, tempering, firing of ceramics.
• Quality Control: Testing of pressure vessels and pipes, proof testing of components.
• In-service Inspection: Pressure vessels and pipes, bridges, buildings, machines, ropes,dams.

AE Tensile test 04/22/23 12NSI conference
Monitor the damage during the tensile test of the steel and composite specimens at different loadings.
After each load, a picture was taken of the microscopic image of the specimen and evaluated for structural damage.
The universal test machine was used to load the specimens.
Steel specimen:• Loaded to 25 kN • 28.68 kN (failure)

• Yield stress is 175 MPa and Failure stress is 284 MPa• Yield stress from the plots of cumulative count is 168 MPa and
failure stress is 280 MPa• Increase in cumulative count after yield shows the formation and
growth of defects leading to failure.

The displacement plot on the right shows non-linearity around 210 seconds. Around 210 sec a large number of emissions are recorded with both higher and lower amplitude at the time of maximum load.
04/22/23 NSI conference 1504/22/23
The amplitude tends to start out small and increases in amplitude as the crack size increases.During crack growth there is a non-periodic cycling of event amplitude from 45-100 dB, suggesting the intermittent weakening at the crack front.

•Load to 30.45kN•Load to 49.42kN (failure)
Specimen failed right across the grip which may be due the teeth of the grip penetrating the outer layer of the composite.

Higher amplitude, number of counts, and duration are observed near failure.Higher amplitude is the sign of the fiber breakage and matrix cracking.

Use of X-ray in AE testing
• Microscopic picture can only show defects on the outer layer.
• The inner surface micro-crack can be seen using X-ray images.
• Several papers have discussed the use of CT-scan or x-ray to see the inner surface cracks and relate then to the AE hit pattern
• The use of CT-can or X-ray has been done rarely.

AE can be problematic due to: Effect of mounting condition
• couplant (silicone gel or petroleum jelly)• mounting pressure• Thickness of the hot glue
Noise from the loading machine Degradation of the sensitivity of the system
• wiring faults• deterioration of electronics

Conclusion
• AE technique is an excellent tool to determine when a micro cracks initiated in the specimens.
• The continuous high AE amplitude represents the failure of the material or that the material is at risk.
• AE can find yield in steel and composite.• AE can find failure of steel and composite
