Their structures. She presented a methodology for use is limited by the fragility of the classifying and processing acoustic emission fibres and the connection files. This methodology is used to detect requirements. An original application signals linked to damage mechanisms, developed in conjunction with Cetim measure the criticality of the different consists in using mechanisms and define the critical carbon fibres that are integrated in mechanisms. The use of classifiers for the structure. An example was given predicting the residual lifespan remains for monitoring damage. An subject to lab research. One of the application using 0.25 mm advantages of acoustic emission is the piezoelectric strips as ultrasound possibility of monitoring the entire tested emitters and receivers for pinpointing structure thanks to the propagation of impact damage on a fuel tank was sound waves in the component.
