The influence law of concrete aggregate particle size on acoustic emission wave attenuation

Abstract Elastic waves have different attenuation laws when propagating in various materials, which is one of the important challenges in the application of non-destructive testing methods, such as acoustic emission (AE) technology in geotechnical engineering. The study presented in this paper inves...
