Abstract
The paper describes a method for estimating reliability of acoustic emission (AE) tests of large-scale metallic structures with due account of physical and mechanical features of cracking and resulting radiation. Amplitude spectra (A-curves) of acoustic emission pulses obtained in tests of cracking samples are given. Such spectra are used in assessing the reliability of tests of large-scale objects. The reliability of acoustic emission tests of pipelines has been analyzed.
