• distribution, differential (acoustic emission) amplitude f(V)- the<br />

number of acoustic emission events with signal amplitudes between<br />

amplitudes of V and V + ∆V as a function of the amplitude V. f(V) is the<br />

absolute value of the derivative of the cumulative amplitude distribution<br />

F(V).<br />

• distribution, differential (acoustic emission) threshold crossing<br />

f t (V)- The number of times the acoustic emission signal waveform has a<br />

peak between thresholds V and V + ∆V as a function of the threshold V.<br />

f t (V) is the absolute value of the derivative of the cumulative threshold<br />

crossing distribution F t (V).<br />

• distribution, logarithmic (acoustic emission) amplitude g(V)- the<br />

number of acoustic emission events with signal amplitudes between V and<br />

α V (where α is a constant multiplier) as a function of the amplitude. This<br />

is a variant of the differential amplitude distribution, appropriate for<br />

logarithmically windowed data.<br />
