6.0 AE Signal Features<br />

With the equipment configured and setup complete, AE testing may begin.<br />

The sensor is coupled to the test surface and held in place with tape or<br />

adhesive. An operator then monitors the signals which are excited by the<br />

induced stresses in the object. When a useful transient, or burst signal is<br />

correctly obtained, parameters like amplitude, counts, measured area under<br />

the rectified signal envelope (MARSE), duration, and rise time can be<br />

gathered. Each of the AE signal feature shown in the image is described<br />

below.<br />
