Kaiser Effect:<br />

Load levels that have been previously exerted on a material do not produce<br />

AE activity. This phenomenon, known as the Kaiser Effect<br />

Felicity Effect:<br />

The applied load is high enough to cause significant emissions even though<br />

the previous maximum load was not reached. This phenomenon is known as<br />

the Felicity Effect.<br />

Felicity Ratio:<br />

Felicity Ratio, which is the load where considerable AE resumes, divided by<br />

the previous maximum applied load (F/D).<br />
