Crack classification in concrete based on acoustic emission

TL;DR: In this article, two crack classification methods are compared and discussed from results of three types of concrete failure tests, and it is shown that the ratios of the shear crack which are identified by Green's functions for moment tensor analysis are good agreement with those by parameter analysis in the case that the proportion of the RA value and the average frequency is set to 1-200.
