OpenAE Initiative: A Contribution to the Open Source Acoustic Emission

The OpenAE initiative aims to promote collaboration and standardization in the field of AE by providing an open-source platform for researchers and industry professionals to share data, algorithms, and best practices.
In this panel discussion, experts from academia and industry will discuss the benefits of the OpenAE initiative, the importance of open-source standards in AE technology, and the potential impact on future research and applications. Join us as we explore the latest developments in AE testing and how open collaboration can drive innovation in this critical field.
