Acoustic Emission Test Facility

Abstract
An acoustic emission test facility was designed and constructed to allow constant strain rate compressive deformation of samples up to an applied load of approximately 180 kg. Strain rates of from 1.6×10−3 to 3.2×10−6 sec−1 were obtained with total system noise limited to less than 10 μV peak‐to‐peak referred to the input of the pre‐amplifier. Over‐all signal amplification was 9900±100 over a bandwidth of 200 Hz–200 kHz.
