TLDR
In this paper, the sensitivity of a transducer was determined using a reciprocity calibration technique, and the output responses from the transducers were compared to the reverberant sound field.Abstract:
A method of calibrating acoustic emission transducers. The sensitivity of a standard transducer is first determined utilizing a reciprocity calibration technique, and the standard transducer and the acoustic emission transducer are then connected to a bounded acoustic medium. Random acoustic white noise is transmitted into the acoustic medium thereby establishing a multi-mode reverberant sound field, and the output responses from the standard transducer and the acoustic emission transducer to the reverberant sound field are obtained and compared to determine the sensitivity of the acoustic emission transducer.read more

Measuring crack growth by acoustic emission
TL;DR: In this paper, a false aperture transducer is designed to provide a criterion for filtering out extraneous noise in the acoustic emission signal based on modal analysis by computing the ratio of the high frequency peak amplitude to low-frequency peak amplitude of the signal.
