Acoustic Emission (AE) is a crucial non-destructive testing method that captures ultrasonic stress waves in materials, aiding in the detection of fractures and wear. This study highlights AE's role in material integrity and predictive maintenance. Employing a specialized setup from the Institute of Thermomechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, we used various AE sensors and a USB...
This contribution presents the results of the past year of our research, the main objective of which was to identify, implement, and compare deep learning methods for the recognition of acoustic emission signals. Two experiments were conducted to obtain relevant data for comparing these methods. Initially, five selected architectures designed to work directly with 1D signals as input data are...
The main topic of this paper is the application of $\phi$-divergence in the field of non-destructive testing. The $\phi$-divergence is applied both in the framework of signal parameters and as part of the classification method. The application of $\phi$-divergence is verified both in an acoustic emission experiment and in a scatterer classification experiment in a water tank. In the latter...
Modeling the behavior of materials under cyclic plastic loading is a crucial topic in the engineering design process for various applications. Numerous constitutive models have been developed for this purpose. In this paper, we have selected a specific material model with 12 parameters that must be fitted to measured data. This results in a non-convex optimization problem with many local...
The nonlinear behavior of consolidated granular materials includes three distinct phenomena: classical nonlinearity, hysteresis, and slow dynamics. Despite the occurrence of these phenomena simultaneously, they have been studied separately, resulting in the development of independent theoretical models.
In our recent work, we have proposed the concept of non-equilibrium strain, which we...
