What is Acoustic Emission Sensors for Assessing and Monitoring Civil Infrastructures about?

As the infrastructure ages, civil structures reach the end of their economic lives. Replacement costs and life extension become critical issues and reliable inspectionbased maintenance protocols ensure their safe, reliable, and economic operation without undue risk to public health and safety. The classical fail-safe design and maintenance approach does not tolerate any known crack or defects, and it has had major financial implications in ensuring integrity of structures. This has forced civil infrastructure operators to adopt a new approach used in the aerospace industry, whereby flaws or damage are tolerated as long as they do not compromise a structure's ability to perform its function. Significant cost savings result by detecting defective parts before the end of their design life and avoiding unnecessary replacement of sound components. Visual inspection and nondestructive testing (NDT) is the basis for the retirement-for-cause approach. NDT examines materials or components in ways that do not impair future usefulness and serviceability and is used to detect, locate, measure, and evaluate flaws/damage and to assess integrity. Various NDT technologies, such as radiographic met
