| Abstract: | Numerous artificial sources of acoustic waves have been described in the literature, which are designed to replicate the process by which actual damage occurs in a given material. Knowledge of the velocity with which an acoustic wave propagates is important here, both in order to correctly locate the signal source and to determine the degree of material degradation or the location of damage that has already occurred in the medium. This work presents the results of laboratory tests comparing two sources of artificial waves in terms of determining their parameters: the Hsu–Nielsen source and a sensor with the Auto Sensor Test function. The AST function allows the sensors to send and receive an elastic wave and is used to calibrate the sensor before, during, or after the test. In this study, the impact of the positioning of the sensors on the element being tested, their spacing, and the distance of the wave source from the sensor on selected parameters of the recorded waves are analyzed: velocity, amplitude, energy, rise time, waveform shape, and wavelet maps. This work demonstrates that a sensor with the AST function can be an effective alternative for the Hsu–Nielsen source in diagnostic studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
