Abstract:
The location of continuous acoustic emission sources is a difficult problem of non-destructive testing. This article describes one-dimensional location of continuous acoustic emission sources by using an intelligent locator. The intelligent locator solves a location problem based on learning from examples. To verify whether continuous acoustic emission caused by leakage air flow can be located accurately by the intelligent locator, an experiment on a thin aluminum band was performed. Results show that it is possible to determine an accurate location by using a combination of a cross-correlation function with an appropriate bandpass filter. By using this combination, discrete and continuous acoustic emission sources can be located by using discrete acoustic emission sources for locator learning.

Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case, then the...
