The 60th meeting of the Acoustic Emission Working Group will
be held June 19-20, 2018 at The Mills House Wyndham Grand
Hotel, Charleston, SC.
The meeting is open to all individuals interested in acoustic
emission technology and applications.
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. The initial call for
abstracts is open until November 3. An online submission form
is in preparation and will be posted here when ready.
Technical and business meetings will be held Tuesday and
Wednesday, June 19 and 20, with the AEWG banquet and awards
ceremony on Wednesday evening. A block of hotel rooms with
check-in on Monday afternoon June 18 and check-out on Thursday
morning, June 21, is available.
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

AEWG is approaching, historical or retrospective
talks on AE theory, technology, and personalities
are particularly welcomed.
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.,
now 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. Read more...
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.
