Welcome Message
I am pleased to inform you
that the 63rd Acoustic
Emission Working Group (AEWG)
meeting will be held in
Houston from May 16 to 18,
2022.
The AEWG-63 is scheduled to be
an in-person meeting. We will
enable virtual participations
and presentations for those
who cannot travel due to
restrictions and/or for those
who choose not to travel for
other reasons. We will also
continue to monitor related
announcements and measures and
will provide updates as
needed.
The venue is Stress
Engineering Services, Inc.
Conference Center Houston,
Texas. The meeting will
introduce current
state-of-the-art AE
instruments and research
trends such as quantitative
AE, advanced sensor
technologies, novel signal
processing approaches and
large-scale AE testing
applications. There will be
Primer on AE Applications in
Oil and Gas Industry. More
details will be provided below
when available.
Best Regards,
Napoleon Douglas,
AEWG-63
Chairman and
the AEWG
Committee

Talks describing AE applications in any field, as well as
advances in AE fundamentals, sensing, and signal processing,
are invited. In keeping with the working group character of
the meeting, discussion of work in process is particularly
welcome. Students may submit an extended abstract for
consideration for the AEWG Student Award.
Topics will cover all the areas
of acoustic emission research, development and applications,
including but not limited to:
- Wave propagation of AE source mechanisms
- Infrastructure and health monitoring
- AE for composites
- Advances in AE instrumentation and sensors
- AE for materials/structure damage mechanics
- AE applications for large scale structural testing
- Novel signal processing approaches
- Material research, fracture and fatigue failure
mechanisms
- Geosciences and rock mechanics
- Orthopedics and biomechanics
- Manufacturing applications
- Diagnostic techniques & procedures
- Codes and standards development
- AE theories, methods, validation and verification
Workshop themes:
- Acoustic Emission instrumentation, data processing
and nondestructive/structural health monitoring applications
- Acoustic Emission for materials/structural damage
monitoring and identification
- Analytical, numerical and computational modeling as well
as validation of Acoustic Emission source and wave
propagation effects

Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Ripi Singh |
Dr. Ripi Singh is now a purposeful innovation coach
with a lifetime of learning in technology, people,
and process development. It all started with aging
airplane program in 1992 as a post doc fellow at
Georgia Tech. Decades of his research work on
fatigue and fracture, damage tolerance, human
factors in NDE is well published and frequently
referred to. Ripi is now working hard to bring
industry 4.0 perspective and innovation processes to
the NDE community and the local startup eco-system:
with his virtual coaching lectures and articles.
Ripi serves on various university advisory boards,
US delegation to ISO 56000 on Innovation Management,
and International Association of Innovation
Professionals. Ripi is an author of 10 books, over
100 peer-reviewed publications, and dozens of
invited keynote lectures.
Ripi and Johannes have produced the book – “The
World of NDE 4.0”.
NDE 4.0 - How to build your Digitalization
Roadmap
Abstract: Digital transformation,
in any sector, is a massive change. NDE is no
different. Like any major change, It requires
defining purpose, vision, strategy, success metrics,
and a roadmap. It requires leadership commitment,
dedicated team, resources, and continuous review and
adjustment.
This presentation will cover WHY and HOW of NDE 4.0,
in a manner that helps you decide WHAT makes sense
for you and how to build your own roadmap to stay
current with changing times. This topic and
presentation has been evolving within ASNT community
since 2018, when Ripi Singh first introduced the
term as a part of his invited lecture on “Creating a
Trend Setting Vision for NDE” The presentation will
soon be released as an official “NDE 4.0 Roadmap
Guidance” written in ISO style, for ease of broad
usage.

| 54
| years passed since the first meeting of Acoustic Emission Working
Group (AEWG) was held in Idaho Falls, on February 8, 1968. |
|
AEWG had its beginning in a discussion between Allen T. Green (then at Aerojet-General Corp.,
later at Acoustic Technology Group) and Jack Spanner (then at Battelle Northwest).
Spanner arranged for a formative meeting of interested parties to be held in
Alcoa, TN, on November 2, 1967.

The 12 people in attendance agreed to hold the
first meeting in Idaho Falls in three months. At that time, eight others (T.
Theodore Anderson, Thomas F. Drouilliard, Robert B. Engle. Robert G. Liptai,
O.K. Mitchell, R. Neal Ord. Ronald E. Ringsmith and Richard K. Steele) joined to
become the charter members of the AEWG.
