FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The 40th Regular Meeting of the AEWG will be held in the University town of Princeton, New Jersey, in June 1999. The organizer has selected the old classical AEWG meeting format, where authors interact freely with attendees during their presentations, especially for work in-progress.

While any subject in Acoustic Emission research and practical applications will be acceptable, we would like to. . .

Emphasize the Following AE Topics for Presentation:

AE Source Mechanisms • Propagation of AE Signals in Structures • Sensors • AE Systems • Codification of AE • System Calibration and Standards • Processing of AE Signals (including AI, Neural Networks and Wavelet Analysis) • Tribology • Quantitative Source/Materials Characterization • Composite Materials • Forest Products and other Biological Systems • Aerospace Structures • Transportation Structures • Medical Applications • Pressure Vessels • Microseismic and Geotechnical Applications • Consumers Products • Corrosion Monitoring • Critical AE Problems for the Researcher • Instrumentation Needs and Possibilities • Future Trends in AE

Paper Submission Deadline: April 5, 1999

Please mail, fax or e-mail (let's all use Word 6.0 or higher) to the organizer - your paper's title and an extended abstract of 300 - 500 words, that will be printed as the only proceedings of the meeting.

Notification of Acceptance of papers will be mailed by: April 19, 1999

Preliminary Program will be mailed by: April 30, 1999
