However, they concluded that “there is no basis whatsoever for using<br />

amplitude discrimination in acoustic emission monitoring for distinguishing<br />

between the various failure modes which occur in this material.” On the other<br />

hand, Faninger et al. argued that in fiber-reinforced concrete the amplitude<br />

pattern of the acoustic emission signals did make it possible to distinguish<br />

whether fracture had occurred in the fibers or between them. Similarly, Jeong<br />

et al. stated that acoustic emission frequency analysis could distinguish<br />

between different micro-fracture mechanisms in fiber-reinforced autoclaved<br />

aerated concrete.<br />
