AE signal generation parameters

Health stateAmplitude (A)Frequency (f, Hz)Decay (α)Noise level (η)No. of bursts
Healthy0.02–0.0820–60 kHz1,500–4,0000.001–0.011–2
Degrading0.05–0.1815–50 kHz800–3,0000.002–0.022–4
Critical0.12–0.4010–40 kHz200–20000.005–0.044–8

Note(s): The complete AE signal was obtained by superimposing multiple such bursts at random time intervals within the recording window. A low-amplitude sinusoidal component was added to simulate background machine noise, providing a realistic representation of AE activity in pressure vessels under service loading conditions
