Acoustic Emission Terminology and Definitions Glossary English-English

Hello,

I have created an electronic glossary of Acoustic Emission for popularization and education of AE method. It works with Balylon Translator and can be downloaded from
terminology section of the Portal of Acoustic Emission in http://www.muravin.com or soon also from www.babylon.com. Let me know if you want add/change/remove some of the terms and definitions.

It would be useful if such dictionaries will be created in different lenguages.

Best regards,
Boris Muravin

Russian books on Acoustic Emission

Hello,

I have posted a list of Russian books on Acoustic Emission. The list was kindly provided by Prof. Vinogradov. Just in case you see some missing books, please let me know. I think it will be useful to create such list of other non-english publications.

Israeli Acoustic Emission Group annual meeting on Feb 26, 2009

Update:

An annual meeting of Israeli Acoustic Emission Working Group (IAEWG) took place on February 26, 2009. The IAEWG is a part of Non-Destructive Testing Department of Israeli Association of Engineers and Architects.

The meeting included:
1. Updates on activities of IAEWG in 2008.
2. Lecture of Dr. Arie Busiba on evaluation of fracture development in different composite materials using Acoustic Emission.
3. Lecture of Dr. Boris Muravin dedicated to on-line monitoring of critical components and structures using Acoustic Emission method.
4. Discussion of goals for 2009.

There were over 30 participants from different private and governmental companies and universities.

More about the IAEWG and the last meeting you can see in http://www.engineers.org.il/
