To explore the propagation characteristics of acoustic emission (AE) signals in wood at different angles. The AE signals at different angles were obtained by changing the angle of incidence by sawing the inclined surfaces at different angles. The Zelkova schneideriana specimen was sawn 5 times with an increment of 15°, and 5 different incidence angles were obtained. AE signals were collected by 5 sensors arranged equally on the surface of the specimen, AE energy and energy attenuation rate were calculated. The reflection signals corresponding to different angles were collected on the uncut specimen by changing the position of the sensors, and the propagation speed of the AE signals at different angles was calculated. The results showed that the kinetic energy provided by the external excitation is small, and the AE energy is mainly provided by the displacement potential energy. With the change of the incidence angle, the AE kinetic energy changes significantly. With the increase of the reflection angle, the speed of the reflected wave also continued to increase, and finally stabilized at 4600 m/s.
