Localization of continuous acoustic emission sources using time reversal procedure
Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Krofta, Josef ; Kober, Jan ; Chlada, Milan
A new solution with the help of Time Reversal (TR) signal processing approach is suggested in this paper. It allows planar location of burst AE sources under high background noise using only one transducer, and continuous AE sources with two transducers, both under high background noise from other sources. TR procedure was in this approach applied to long random noise signals for the first time. Suggested method was verified by means of experimentally simulated AE sources on a steel plate and tube. Source location results certified high robustness of suggested approach. Certain disadvantage of the new method is requirement of detailed scanning of region around a presumed source. Scanning may be eliminated if we use numerical simulations with TR signals put into a computer model of the structure. Localization accuracy of suggested procedure (approx. 1 mm) is better than the wavelength and transducers aperture.
