Fracture precursor phenomena in marble specimens under uniaxial compression by means of Acoustic Emission data by Dimos Triantis, Stavros K. Kourkoulis

“…The analysis is carried out in terms of the number of acoustic hits recorded and the time evolution of the improved b-value (Ib-value), the cumulative energy of the acoustic signals and the F function. During the stage of increasing load, intense acoustic activity is detected as the corresponding stress reaches the transitional phase from the linear to the nonlinear mechanical response of the material. …”
