Acoustic Emission Monitoring

Acoustic Emission Monitoring is a technique used to detect and analyze high-frequency sound waves produced by the sudden release of energy within a material, such as cracks forming or growing. When a material like metal or concrete develops internal flaws, it emits tiny stress waves that can be captured by sensors. By listening to these sounds, engineers can assess the structural integrity and identify potential failures early, allowing for timely maintenance or repair. This non-invasive method provides real-time insights into material health without damaging the structure.
