A novel AE source localization method using clustering detection to eliminate abnormal arrivals

Due to the significant effect of abnormal arrivals on localization accuracy, a novel acoustic emission (AE) source localization method using clustering detection to eliminate abnormal arrivals is proposed in the paper. Firstly, iterative weight estimation is utilized to obtain accurate equation residuals. Secondly, according to the distribution of equation residuals, clustering detection is used to identify and exclude abnormal arrivals....
