Preface
This volume includes the papers selected from the World Conference on Acoustic
Emission—2019 (WCAE-2019) that was held during November 5–8 in
Guangzhou, China. WCAE was the formal conference of the International Society
on Acoustic Emission (ISAE). WCAE-2019 was jointly organized by Chinese
Society for Non-destructive Testing (ChSNDT) and China Special Equipment
Inspection and Research Institute (CSEI). This was the fifth of such event of ISAE
followed by its inaugural one in 2011 in Beijing, second in 2013 in Shanghai,
China, third in 2015 in Hawaii, USA, and fourth in 2017 in Xi’an, China. WCAE is
aimed at providing a platform to scientists and practitioners in both academia and
industry in the field of acoustic emission and exchanging research and application
information, with particular emphasis on scientific and technical development and
cooperation worldwide.
The WCAE-2019 consisted of five invited keynote lectures, ten oral, and one
poster sessions. It covered all the major areas of acoustic emission applications,
including Instrumentation, signal processing and analysis, material characteristics,
structure, condition Monitoring and diagnosis, and miscellaneous.
WCAE-2019 received 73 submissions, which were documented in the extended
abstracts of WCAE-2019. Fifty-eight full papers were submitted for the consideration of achieved formal proceedings. After peer reviews, 50 were included in this
volume.
We are grateful to all the members of the committees who contributed their
efforts to review the manuscripts. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Chinese Society for Non-destructive Testing (ChSNDT) and China Special
Equipment Inspection and Research Institute (CSEI) for their enormous supports.
Last but not least, we thank the contributions of all the delegates who participated in
WCAE-2019.
