Vargalui, A. (author)Acoustic Emission (AE) based structural health monitoring systems have the potential to assess the state of metallic / composite structures and detect damage in real time as it grows. This is done by monitoring the Lamb waves that occur due to the release of energy and the specific boundary conditions. Environmental and Operational Conditions ...master thesis 2015
