Acoustic emissions from penny-shaped cracks in glass. I. Radiation pattern and crack orientation

Abstract
In the first part of this paper we describe measurements of the radiation pattern of the acoustic emission (AE) signals emitted when a penny-shaped crack of Mode I type is generated in a glass plate by pressing a rigid conical indenter onto the surface. It is shown that the orientation of a crack determined from the radiation pattern of the emitted AE signals is in agreement to within several degrees with a direct optical determination.
