TLDR
In this article, a general method of calculating the location of defects in two dimensions from the arrival times at the sensors is presented. But the ACEMAN system, which uses this method can derive the resolution properties of a sensor array in about 7.5 min.
Abstract
Sensors on the surface of a material under stress can detect acoustic emissions from a defect within the material. The difference in time of detection of an emission from the defect at different sensors gives a way of finding where it is. This paper shows a general method of calculating the location of defects in two dimensions from the arrival times at the sensors. The ACEMAN system, which uses this method can derive the resolution properties of a sensor array in about 7.5 min.

Wavelet analysis of plate wave propagation in composite laminates

TL;DR: In this article, the wavelet transform using the Gabor wavelet is applied to the time-frequency analysis of dispersive plate waves, and it is shown that the peaks of the magnitude of WT in the timefrequency domain are related to the arrival times of group velocity.

A critical analysis of effectiveness of acoustic emission signals to detect tool and workpiece malfunctions in milling operations

TL;DR: In this article, acoustic emission (AE) has been employed for tool condition monitoring of continuous machining operations (e.g. turning, drilling), but relatively little attention has been paid to monitor interrupted processes such as milling and especially to detect the occurrence of possible surface anomalies.
