Abstract

For the effective detection of acoustic emission (AE) impulses against a noisy background, the correct assessment of AE parameters, and an increase in defect location accuracy during data processing are needed. For these goals, it is necessary to consider the waveform of the AE impulse. The results of numerous studies have shown that the waveforms of AE impulses mainly depend on the properties of the waveguide, the path along which the signal propagates from the source to the sensor. In this paper, the analytical method for modeling of AE signals is considered. This model allows one to obtain model signals that have the same spectrum and waveform as real signals. Based on the obtained results, the attenuation parameters of the AE waves for various characteristics of the waveguide are obtained and the probability of defect detection at various distances between the AE source and sensor utilized for evaluation.
