An aerospace engineer is setting up an acoustic emission sensor array to detect microscopic structural micro-fractures in a carbon-fibre fuselage during simulated stress tests.
State one advantage of digitising the analogue acoustic signals using a bit depth of 32 bits per sample rather than 16 bits per sample.
