Monitoring
 material
 damage
 by
 means
 of
 acoustic
 emission
 lies
 in
 the
 ability
 to
 identify
 the
 most
 
relevant
  descriptors
  of
  cracking
  mechanisms.
  The
  sudden
  release
  of
  stored
  energy
  during
  the
 
damage
  process,
  known
  as
  the
  acoustic
  emission
  (AE),
  is
  a
  very
  suitable
  technique
  for
  in
  situ
 
health
 monitoring
 applications.
 
 
In
  the
  present
  study,
  a
  tensile
  test
  is
  performed
  on
  a
  DCB
  (Double
  cantilever
  Beam)
  wood
 
specimen
  (Figure
  1)
  to
  generate
  mode
  I
  cracking.
  The
  AE
  events
  recorded
  during
  the
  tensile
  test
 
are
 correlated
 to
 actual
 damage
 in
 terms
 of
 cracking
 length.
 
Various
  signal
  processing
  and
  pattern
  recognition
  techniques
  have
  been
  performed
  for
  damage
 
feature
 extraction
 from
 AE
 signals.
 In
 this
 study,
 the
 Hilbert–Huang
 transform
 (HHT,
 Huang
 2005)
 
is
 used,
 for
 relating
 a
 specific
 damage
 mechanism
 to
 its
 acoustic
 signature.
 The
 applicability
 of
 the
 
HHT
 based
 on
 damage
 descriptors
 of
 AE
 signals
 is
 discussed
 (Hamdi,
 2013).
 First,
 the
 HHT
 is
 used
 
to
  identify
  the
  damage
  signature
  by
  correlating
  the
  measured
  AE
  signals
  with
  known
  acoustic
 
sources.
 Then,
 the
 performance
 of
 the
 HHT
 for
 damage
 propagation
 monitoring
 is
 evaluated.
