Frequency domainFracture behaviourT (the time it takes for a crack to close, open, or slip) and c (the length of the crack). If the rock is determined, β is a fixed valueS1(t)Composition of a signal itself
HeterogeneityWhen AE signals pass through the boundary of mineral grains, intergranular reflection or refraction occursS2(t)Signal distortion
AnisotropyThere are open cracks and sliding, staggered closed cracks that cause the reflection or refraction of AE signalsS3(t)Signal distortion
ViscosityRock material itselfS4(t)Signal distortion
Noise jammingSignal superpositionS5(t)Complicated
