Abstract

Experimental data were interpreted using two amplitude–frequency spectra of acoustic emission as recorded during the application of a uniaxial load to a granite specimen until it fractured. The interpretation procedure was based on the model of disk-shaped cracks. The results enabled us to analyze the variation in structural parameters in the specimen, as well as the fracture process during intervals between the times when the spectra were recorded.
