Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of applying a predeterminedl
38、oad to a digger derrick while it is being monitored by sensorsthat are sensitive to acoustic emissions (AE) caused by activedefects. These acoustic emissions can be generated by, but arenot limited to, the following: crack nucleation, movement, orpropagation in the metal components; or matrix crazin
39、g,delamination or fiber breakage of the fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) material, or both.4.2 The digger derrick is loaded at a uniform rate until apredetermined load is reached, which is held for a period oftime. The load is removed and the cycle is repeated. Acousticemissions are monitored for the c
40、omponents being evaluatedduring both cycles, and the data is reviewed.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method permits testing of the major compo-nents of a digger derrick generated by the rapid release ofenergy from localized sources within the digger derrick undercontrolled loading. The energy
41、releases occur during inten-tional application of a predetermined load. These energyreleases can be monitored and interpreted by qualified indi-viduals. Acceptance/rejection criteria are beyond the scope ofthis test method. The test may be discontinued at any time toinvestigate a particular area of
42、concern, or to prevent a faultfrom continuing to ultimate failure of the digger derrickresulting from the application of the test load.5.2 This test method provides a means of detecting acousticemission sources that may be defects, irregularities, or both,affecting the structural integrity or intend

Other nondestructive methods may be requiredin order to precisely locate defects in the digger derrick, and toestimate their size.Additional tests are outside the scope of thistest method.5.4 Defective areas found
45、in digger derricks by this testmethod should be repaired and retested as appropriate. Repairprocedure recommendations are outside the scope of this testmethod. Repair procedure recommendations are outside thescope of this test method.6. Personnel Qualifications6.1 The test method shall be performed
