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/

Acoustic Emission Crossword - a nice way to study AE

Google Insights- Interest on AE subject over the world

Today Google announced about a new product that was developed here in Israel called Google Insights. It can be used to analyze searches on different subjects by countries. I am sending you such a search regarding Acoustic Emission. You can see where people were more interested in the technology. Most are coming from India. But another interesting parameter is that the global interest for AE (according to Google Insights) is reducing almost 5 times since 2004. It is intersting information but I think that it is too early to come to this conclusions based on Google, since they only started and I found some other questions. For example there zero rearches of AE from Russia and Israel.

Visual Acoustic Emission

It is usual to describe AE in terms of sound. But most of fracture processes are accompanied by AE in inaudible frequencies and therefore it is difficult for newcomers to imaging and understand the phenomenon. In www.muravin.com/AE you can find a number of movies that effectively visualizes AE phenomena.

Acoustic Emission education program/courses

Work in the field of Acoustic Emission (AE) requires a multidisciplinary knowledge in many scientific areas and appropriate experience. Nevertheless, currently, there are neither dedicated academic programs for preparation of AE specialists nor recommended practices for a self-study. As a result, preparation of new specialists in the field of AE is incomplete and takes a long time.

For methodological, systematic approach to preparation of AE specialists it necessary to prepare a dedicated educational program.  For this purpose I developed a map of Acoustic Emission science that combines theoretical and technological aspects. This map can be used as an outline of course of Acoustic Emission. This map can be downloaded also in pdf format.
