Analyzing acoustic emission data to identify cracking modes in cement paste using an artificial neural network
Abstract
This research is focused on the identification of cracking mechanisms for cement paste using acoustic emission data, recorded from compression and notched four-point bending tests. A procedure is developed for analyzing the data by employing an agglomerative hierarchical clustering method, an artificial neural network, and a ray-tracing source location algorithm. An agglomerative hierarchical clustering method is utilized to cluster the AE data from a compression test using frequency-dependent features. A neural network is trained using the compression test data and applied to the AE data emitted during the four-point bending test. The clustered data from the four-point bending test is localized using a ray-tracing algorithm. Based on the occurrence and locations of the clustered events and signal feature analyses, potential cracking mechanisms are identified and assigned.
