Kaiser Effect- The phenomenon,<br />

known as the Kaiser Effect, can be<br />

seen in the load versus AE plot to<br />

the right. As the object is loaded,<br />

acoustic emission events<br />

accumulate (segment AB). When<br />

the load is removed and reapplied<br />

(segment BCB), AE events do not<br />

occur again until the load at point B<br />

is exceeded<br />
