Through complex variables function, wave propagation of perforated thin-walled plates is deduced. And it is found out that the dynamical stress concentrates where the concentration parameter vertical to incident orientation is about 1.5, and with the increase of incident wave frequency, holes have less influence on the dynamical stress concentration during wave propagation. With the help of acoustic emission technique, holes do not have much effect on nondestructive test of acoustic emission.

– Welding defects can create a major threat in industrial equipments and pressure vessels can during operation. Detecting and identifying of existing welding defects has a great role in the assessment of the probability of failure in different situations. Acoustic emission (AE) is only a nondestructive technique that can be used as in-service testing and used on large structures. This paper examines the changes in the properties of AE source generated from Pencil Lead Break (PLB). AE is recorded across different seam welds with pre-identified welding defects. Series of experiments are carried out on three certified standard Carbon Steel plates. Each plate has different pre-identified defect such as lack of fusion, porosity and slag. Different AE parameters such Energy, Amplitude and number of counts have been used to identify quantitatively the type of defects. The results are showing that AE technique is capable to identifying the different defects types which can be upgraded for higher productivity and accuracy for welding inspection.

During the last years, PETROBRAS has used acoustic emission technique as an inspection tool. In this period, the acoustic emission concept has changed from a revolutionary technique to a global inspection technique with the aim of indicating areas to complementary inspection. In the last years more than 600 acoustic emission tests were done in equipments like pressure vessels, reactors, tanks, spheres, and etc. In 2002, the results of acoustic emission tests and nondestructive tests done on these equipment were collected to build a database in the PETROBRAS environment. Analysis made in this database has shown that exists a clear relationship between acoustic emission and the severity of flaws.
