Abstract

The main factors that affect the error of determining the coordinates of an acoustic-emission (AE) signal source are considered. The influence of errors of determining coordinates ±Δx i and ±Δy i of piezoelectric-antenna transducers on the AE-signal localization accuracy are analyzed. It is theoretically and experimentally proven that the errors in the coordinates of the transducers substantially influence the AE-signal localization accuracy, especially at a low sampling frequency of the analog-to-digital converter of the AE system’s measuring channel and when low-frequency AE transducers are used.
