A study of the Acoustic Emission simulation method: addressing the issue of dimensionality in the propagation medium modeling
A reliable numerical reproduction of acoustic emission (AE) tests requires a clear understanding of simulating the AE process. Here, we perform a comparative study of Pencil-Lead Break (PLB) tests on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element models, with...
