Aerial personnel devices are common equipment in industry today. At an electrical utility, aerial devices are used to position personnel and equipment during line work. Periodic mechanical and electrical tests are necessary to determine the integrity of the boom structure. This paper contains a brief overview of the Georgia Power fleet and the acoustic emission test program. The actual mechanics of a day to day test program are discussed. The acoustic emission acceptance criteria used by Georgia Power for aerial devices is discussed, and actual test results are examined to show the test program benefits. Safety, reduced service intervals, and extended service life can be assured with an adequate testing program.

“...a comprehensive and well written book, which...will be useful reading for both researchers entering the field and experienced specialists looking for new ideas....a valuable and long-lasting contribution to experimental mechanics.” – Stepan Lomov, KU Leuven This expert volume, an enhanced Habilitation thesis by the head of the Materials Testing Research Group at the University of Augsburg, provides detailed coverage of a range of inspection methods for insitu characterization of fiber-reinforced composites. The failure behavior of fiber reinforced composites is a complex evolution of microscopic damage phenomena. Beyond the use of classical testing methods, the ability to monitor the progression of damage insitu offers new ways to interpret the materials failure modes. Methods covered include digital image correlation, acoustic emission, electromagnetic emission, computed tomography, thermography, shearography, and promising method combinations. For each method, the discussion includes operational principles and practical applications for quality control as well as thoughtful assessment of the method's strengths and weakness so that the reader is equipped to decide which method or methods are most appropriate in a given situation. The book includes extensive appendices covering common experimental parameters influencing comparability of acoustic emission measurements; materials properties for modeling; and an overview of terms and abbreviations.

As a tool for inspecting aerial devices, acoustic emission (AE), has gained wide popularity and is one of the preferred techniques to be used when performing safety inspections on these vehicles. Many utilities, truck manufacturers and independent testing companies rely on AE as a primary screening technique when evaluating vehicle integrity. AE testing has proven to be a valuable tool in determining structural integrity of both fiber-glass and metal components of the aerial device.
