A Wireless Sensor Node for Acoustic Emission Non-destructive Testing

In this paper a wireless sensor node for Acoustic Emission (AE) analysis has been proposed. This node can be used to simplify the in-force procedures for the structural integrity verification of pressure tanks. This procedure is currently based on periodic checks and consequently does not allow a real-time monitoring. The proposed wireless sensor node is compatible with commonly used AE sensors available on market and can be integrated in a wireless sensor network for real time monitoring increasing the security of the plant.
