Acoustic Emission Testing

Acoustic emission (AE) techniques have been studied in civil engineering for more than two decades. With more and more aging structures and structures damaged due to earthquakes and other disasters, there is a great need for the advanced and effective inspection techniques that AE testing can offer. This book covers all levels of AE testing, from a description of AE basics to step-by-step instructions for sophisticated AE algorithms and applications. It is the first edited book that deals with this very important technique used to monitor structural health.
