In this paper, the method for locating sources of acoustic emission by
approximate calculation of potential coordinates using a grid superimposed
on the area around the sensors that detected the wave was proposed. Various
noises such as electromagnetic pulses and other external noises were removed
from input data. The DBSCAN clustering algorithm was applied. The results
were compared with the real state of the object under study after additional
control. Analytical and practical research points to the possibility of using the
presented method as a tool for determining the coordinates of defect
development points and wave velocity.
