What Does AE Stand For?
AE stands for Acoustic Emission
Acoustic Emission (AE) refers to the propagation of elastic waves generated by the rapid release of energy from localized sources within a material. This non-destructive testing technique is widely used to monitor the integrity of structures and materials by detecting and analyzing these sound waves, which provide critical information about stress, fracture processes, and the onset of failure. AE is valuable in various industries, including aerospace, civil engineering, and manufacturing, for maintaining safety and optimizing performance.
