Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Grout Movement
This paper describes the acoustic emission (AE) method in general, and in particular the AE system which holds significant promise in this regard. Used was a multichannel AE system which...
Nonlinear Fracture Process Zone in Rock
A study of the fracture process zone was conducted to gain an understanding of the physics of crack propagation in rock. The nondestructive testing technique of acoustic emissions was...
Vehicle Sound Power measurement Using the Acoustic Intensity Method
The use of the two microphone Acoustic Intensity Method of obtaining accurate measurement of over-all sound power of large wheel loaders is described. This system is in operation, within...
Standardizing Noise Barrier Field Measurements
American National Standards Working Group S12-6 was organized in 1979 to draft a standard for the acoustical measurement of outdoor noise barriers. The current version of the draft standard...
Detection of Leakage Through Subsurface Barriers Using Guided Acoustic Waves
The primary method for preventing hazardous liquid and leachates from entering the groundwater is the use of a physical barrier. These barriers are susceptible to a number of mechanisms...
Open Channel Flowrate Measurement Using Multipath Acoustic Flowmeters
Recent acoustic flowmeter developments have improved the applicability and accuracy of the multipath acoustic measurement technique. Accuracy, hardware cost and calibration cost can be...
Acoustic Silt Density Measurement
Significant savings can be achieved on the costs of operations for the deepening and maintenance of navigation channels and harbor basins in muddy areas provided that computations are...
An Application of Acoustic Core Analysis
This technique has shown itself to be extremely successful at Roberts Bank, in a highly variable bottom material, where shallow depths were not a significant problem, and some borehole...
