A custom acoustic emission monitoring system for harsh environments: application to freezing-induced damage in alpine rock walls

We present a custom acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system designed to perform long-term measurements on high-alpine rock walls. AE monitoring is a common technique for characterizing damage evolution in solid materials. The system is based on a two-channel AE sensor node (AE-node) integrated into...
