TY - JOUR AV - none N1 - cited By 14 SP - 101246 TI - State-of-the-Art Review on the Acoustic Emission Source Localization Techniques SN - 21693536 PB - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. EP - 101266 N2 - he acoustic emission technique has been applied successfully for the identification, characterization, and localization of deformations in civil engineering structures. Numerous localization techniques, such as Modal Acoustic Emission, Neural Networks, Beamforming, and Triangulation methods with or without prior knowledge of wave velocity, have been presented. Several authors have conducted in-depth research in the localization of AE sources. However, existing review papers do not focus on the performance evaluation of existing source localization techniques. This paper discusses these techniques based on the number of sensors used and the geometry of the structures of interest. Furthermore, it evaluates them on the basis of their performance. At the end of this paper, a comparative analysis of existing methods has been presented based on their basic principles, key strengths, and limitations. A deep learning circular sensor cluster-based solution has the potential to provide a low-cost reliable localization solution for acoustic emission sources. © 2013 IEEE.
