Combined Application of Acoustic Emission and Vibration Diagnostics in Statistical Tensile Tests of Samples with a Combined Stress Concentrator

The methodology of combined application of acoustic emission diagnostics and vibration diagnostics for monitoring the state of damage of samples made of 17GS1 pipe steel with a combined stress during the development of a dominant crack is considered. In the experiments, the stress concentrator is a transverse weld subjected to local crumbling and a guide scratch to a depth of up to 3 mm across the entire sample width. Such a concentrator simulated the effect of buried reinforcement on the weld when laying a pipeline through a water obstacle.
