Anisotropic Velocity Model and Energy Attenuation Characteristics of Acoustic Emission Signals in Finger-jointed Timber and Sawn Timber
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Although anisotropic propagation behavior of acoustic emission (AE) in the sawn timber (ST) has been revealed, that in finger-jointed timber (FJT) is still less known.Therefore, a series of velocity and energy models of AE signalswere built as it propagates along different directions on the surface and inside of specimens (ST and FJT). At first, using polar coordinate system, velocity model in 36 directions was built in FJT, which was compared to ST.Furthermore, a continuous sine wave with a frequency of 165 kHz was selected as AE source to explore the energy attenuation law in FJT and ST respectively.The results showed that there are significant differences in velocity models between FJT and ST.The wavefront in STwas regular elliptical, while that in FJT has a clear depression in perpendicular to grain direction.This feature becomes more obvious with the increase of distance when AE signal propagates inside the FJT.Inside the FJT,energy magnitude in STwas 3.00-7.37 times of that in FJT.
