Detection of Active Infestation by Wood-Boring Insects via Acoustic Emission using the IADS (Insect Activity Detection System)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The preservation of wooden art and cultural artifacts is severely threatened by the infestation of wood-boring insects. Distinguishing between active and inactive infestations in practice poses a significant challenge, often leading to unnecessary treatments or delayed actions. This article focuses on the examination of the Insect Activity Detection System (IADS), an innovative AE measurement device for the detection of feeding noises of wood-boring larvae. Starting with an overview of the theoretical framework, the results of practical experiments are shown. Finally, we will present some possible applications of IADS in the conservation of art and cultural heritage.
