Abstract

Acoustic emission (AE) is a stress wave, generated in a structural material when it is stimulated by perturbations. One of the important features of this technique is to detect the location of the AE source in the structure from the differences in the times of arrival of stress waves at several sensors placed on it. A generalized mathematical formalism for the evaluation of the path travelled by an acoustic wave on the surface of a structure, on the concept of geodesics, is presented. Based on this concept, a mathematical method is developed for the calculation of the coordinates of an AE source on a cylindrical surface by three AE sensors. This concept has not been attempted analytically so far, to our knowledge.
