Optical fiber detection of ultrasonic vibration and acoustic emission

Several techniques for measuring high frequency vibrations are presented. The goal of the study is to develop a sensor for detecting acoustic emissions (AE) inside composite structures. The basics of wave propagation inside of materials has been presented along with an overview of typical acoustic e...
