Abstract

This final paper in the series on acoustic emission deals with existing industrial applications of this technology. Such applications have increased greatly in recent years and now include such areas as weld monitoring, monitoring of proof tests on structures and components, and the detection and location of flaws in pressure vessels. The paper presents representative examples drawn from the literature of such applications, and draws comparison with conventional non-destructive testing techniques in some cases. The authors conclude that acoustic emission can provide information that is difficult or impossible to obtain by other techniques, and can therefore cut costs substantially in the quality assurance of a wide variety of industrial products.
