These acoustic emmissions can be generated by, butFIG. 2 Extensible Aerial Device Nomenclature DiagramF914/F914M 184are not limited to, the following: crack nucleation movement or propagation in the metal components; or matrix crazing,de-lamination or fiber breakage of the fiberglass reinforced
42、plastic (FRP) material; or both.4.2 The aerial personnel device is loaded at a uniform rate until a predetermined load is reached, which is held for a period oftime. The load is removed and the cycle is repeated. Acoustic emissions are monitored during both cycles and the data areevaluated.4.3 The t
43、est load used during an acoustic emission test on an aerial personnel device shall be two times the rated platformcapacity.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means of evaluating acoustic emissions generated by the rapid release of energy from localizedsources within an aerial per

These energy releases can be monitored and interpreted by qualified individuals.5.2 This test method permits testing of the major components of an aerial pers
45、onnel device under controlled loading. This testmethod utilizes objective criteria for evaluation and may be discontinued at any time to investigate a particular area of concernor prevent a fault from continuing to ultimate failure.5.3 This test method provides a means of detecting acoustic emission
46、 sources that may be defects or irregularities, or both,affecting the structural integrity or intended use of the aerial personnel device.5.4 Sources of acoustic emission found with this test method shall be evaluated by either more refined acoustic emission testmethods or other nondestructive techn
47、iques (visual, liquid penetrant, radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle, etc.). Othernondestructive tests may be required to locate defects present in aerial personnel devices.5.5 Defective areas found in aerial personnel devices by this test method should be repaired and retested as appropriat
48、e. Repairprocedure recommendations are outside the scope of this test method.6. Personnel Qualifications6.1 This test method shall be performed by qualified personnel.
