Kaiser Effect<br />

Plastic deformation is the primary source of AE in loaded metallic structures.<br />

An important feature affecting the AE during deformation of a material is<br />

‘Kaiser Effect’, which states that additional AE occurs only when the stress<br />

level exceeds previous stress level. A similar effect for composites is termed<br />

as 'Falicity effect'. (?)<br />

Comments:<br />

Kaiser effect- when the load is released and later applied, AE will not be<br />

emitted until the previous maximum is reaches.<br />

Falicity effect- an effect that deviate from Kaiser effect<br />
