An Acoustic-Emission Technique of Forced Vibrations Used for Flaw Detection in Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels

An acoustic-emission technique of forced vibrations based on the principles of the acoustic-topographical integral technique of forced vibrations, combined with the acoustic-emission technique, is considered. An example of using this technique for diagnostics of thin-walled cylindrical shells made of aluminum alloys is considered.__________Translated from Defektoskopiya, Vol. 41, No. 3, 2005, pp. 27–31.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Popov.
