Abstract

Prior to the early 1970’s the use of acoustic emission (AE) as a tool in geomechanics was relatively limited. More recently however the popularity of this technique has increased rapidly ( Hardy and Leighton, 1980 ), and at present it is widely used in both laboratory and field investigations of the behaviour of geologic materials.
