Abstract

Acoustic Emissions (AE) are at the basis of extremely accurate and reliable monitoring systems. Within the SmartBench project, data regarding structural health of components are gathered in a database in order to make safety integrated, operative and smart. An accurate modelling of wave propagation is a necessary requirement for a proper design of sensor networks as well as for data interpretation. Numerical simulations of the transient behavior of structural systems are well-established in this field but, on the minus side, they are very expensive in terms of computational time and resources. This paper reports different instances of AE propagation through metallic media. Bulk waves and guided waves are both investigated by means of 2D and 3D models and resorting to different software. Obtained results are cross-checked and computational times are compared as well. As a last point, High Performance Computing is applied to the case of waves simulation in order to get a significant reduction of the required computational time.
