An acoustic emission sensor (AE) can detect high-frequency emission, for example, from a crack opening in a piece of metal. Current devices aim to detect a breaking drill or cutting tool as the crack is propagating. The intention is to stop the machine tool spindle before serious damage occurs. 3, record 3, English, - acoustic%20emission

As a black region forms, sometimes thin rivers of black will flow into the coloured area of the film. Critical fall, as this is known, usually happens with soap solution having more than 4% of surfactants. What causes critical fall? First, an island of thicker silver-white film is caught in the thinner black film.... 1, record 4, English, - critical%20fall
