Abstract:Results are presented which show that it is possible to detect crack growth and crack presence in airframe components during flight. To accomplish this, a data acquisition system has been developed specifically for in-flight applications. It is shown that crack advance of less than 1 mm2 was readily detected during flight and the fracture-related acoustic emission signals unambiguously identified.
