PCA based stress monitoring of cylindrical specimens using PZTs and guidedwaves [PDF]
Since mechanical stress in structures affects issues such as strength, expected operational life and dimensional stability, a continuous stress monitoring scheme is necessary for a complete integrity assessment. Consequently, this paper proposes a stress

Rayleigh Wave Calibration of Acoustic Emission Sensors and Ultrasonic Transducers. [PDF]
Acoustic emission (AE) sensors and ultrasonic transducers were characterized for the detection of Rayleigh waves (RW). Small aperture reference sensors were characterized first using the fracture of glass capillary tubes in combination with a theoretical

Rail Diagnostics Based on Ultrasonic Guided Waves: An Overview
Rail tracks undergo massive stresses that can affect their structural integrity and produce rail breakage. The last phenomenon represents a serious concern for railway management authorities, since it may cause derailments and, consequently, losses of ...
