This article presents a review of recent developments in parametric based acoustic emission
(AE) techniques applied to concrete structures. It recapitulates the significant milestones …

This paper gives a brief review of the acoustic emission technique and its applications to
bridge health monitoring. Emphasis is given to the discussion of available techniques of AE …

Results from an experimental study concerning wave propagation in cementitious materials
are presented in this paper. Narrow band pulses at several frequencies were introduced into …

An analysis of the Acoustic Emission (AE) activity and of the energy fields is carried out with
reference to three-point bending (TPB) tests on concrete beams with different sizes. First, a …

Different constituents of concrete can have cracking behavior that varies in terms of the
acoustic waveform that is generated. Understanding the waveform may provide insight into …

Acoustic emission (AE) is a Non Destructive Inspection Technique, widely used for
monitoring of structural condition of different materials like concrete, masonry and rock. It …

Ultrasonic waves propagating in solids have stress-dependent velocities. The relation
between stress (or strain) and velocity forms the basis of non-linear acoustics. In …

The propagation and scattering of ultrasound in concrete is discussed. The heterogeneous
composition of concrete causes the ultrasound to scatter considerably. In the limit of many …

This paper introduces a novel method of acoustic emission (AE) analysis which is
particularly suited for field applications on large plate-like reinforced concrete structures …

A series of mode I fracture toughness tests employing the semi-circular bend (SCB) and the
pseudo-compact tension (p CT) methodologies have been performed with two sandstone …
