Preface

Acoustic emission (AE) measurement is a technique for detecting an elastic wave that is generated by the occurrence of microscale defects. Phenomena resulting from microscale defects can thus be readily detected by AE. Recently, the accidental failure of various types of structures, resulting in disasters and injury to people in many cases, has been reported as posing a threat to human safety. In most cases, the durability and the load-bearing capacity of facilities or structures are carefully ensured against microscale defects (structural flaw and cracks). However, in some recent accidents, it has been found that microscale defects can lead to dangerous conditions of structures. Therefore, the establishment of “structural diagnosis” is in urgent demand. In this respect, AE techniques are known to be promising for detecting microscale defects and the analysis of “fracture phenomena.” Traditionally, the usefulness of such techniques for predicting rockfalls has been known in mines worldwide. The technique received great attention when it was applied to a pressure test of a rocket motor case (rocket body) of a Polaris missile in the United States. Later, AE testing was standardized as a nondestructive ins
