Abstract

The stability and lifespan prediction of metallic materials under high stress and harsh environments are critical issues in modern engineering structure design. This study aims to explore the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of metallic materials under stress conditions through experimental and theoretical analysis. Fatigue tensile experiments were conducted to systematically analyze the AE signals of various metallic materials, and numerical models were developed to predict the AE response. The findings demonstrate that AE technology can identify typical signal characteristics of materials during the stress process, with a significant correlation between the number of AE events and the degree of damage, and can accurately locate damage positions. These insights reveal the intrinsic relationship between AE signals and material damage, highlighting the broad application prospects of AE technology in structural health monitoring. The results provide a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the health monitoring of metallic materials, contributing to the safety and reliable operation of structures.

期刊介绍： Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense. Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems. Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
