stimulation- the application of a stimulus such as force, pressure, heat, and<br />

so forth, to a test article to cause activation of acoustic emission sources.<br />

system examination threshold- the electronic instrument threshold (see<br />

evaluation threshold) which data will be detected.<br />

transducers, acoustic emission- see sensor, acoustic emission.<br />

verification, AE system (performance check, AE system)- the process of<br />

testing an AE system to assure conformance to a specified level of<br />

performance or measurement accuracy. (This is usually carried out prior to,<br />

during and/or after an AE examination with the AE system connected to the<br />
