Historical buildings often show diffused crack patterns due to different causes in relation to
original function, construction technique and loading history. Non-destructive testing …

Three different forms of energy might be used as earthquake precursors for environmental
protection against seismicity. At the tectonic scale, Acoustic Emission (AE) prevails, as well …

We perform a comparative statistical analysis between the acoustic-emission time series
from the ancient Greek Athena temple in Syracuse and the sequence of nearby …

Since April 2023 an in situ experimental campaign has been underway in a granite
underground tunnel, which is a dedicated monitoring platform located in Southeast China …

Single-stationed geomagnetic vertical intensity polarization (GVIP) anomalies have
demonstrated good predictions of the occurrence of large earthquakes in Japan …

Many ancient masonry towers are present in Italian territory. In some cases these structures
are at risk on account of the intensity of the stresses they are subjected to due to the high …

Acoustic emission (AE) displays violent paroxysms preceding strong earthquakes, observed
within some large area (several hundred kilometres wide) around the epicentre. We call …

The paper presents the results of investigations of deformation processes in the near-
surface sedimentary rocks, which have been carried out in a seismically active region of the …

We observed a remarkable near-to-unity correlation between the time series of Acoustic
Emissions (AEs) collected at two stations approximately 300 km apart from each other and …

The fracture process of heterogeneous materials is studied here in the framework of the
discipline of Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics. Acoustic emission data provided by an …
