Correlation analysis techniques have been used to characterize acoustic emission pulses from metals. A brief description of correlation functions and the method of their determination is presented. The time varying spectra of a magnesium sample have been obtained using the present techniques, and then compared with the more common methods of measuring acoustic emission. Other uses of correlation analysis in acoustic emission studies are included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
