Acoustic emission (AE) is an effective technology that can be used for structural health monitoring. One of the most attractive features is the ability to locate AE sources. Characteristic parameters of waveform importing Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is proposed for acoustic emission source location. The waveform of AE signal is apperceived by sensors, and decreases dispersion effect by wavelet transform. Input of ANN includes characteristic parameters of AE signal, waveform data and characteristic quantities which have been preprocessed. Time difference of signals and other parameters acts as sample which can decrease the influence of wave speed. Based on the agreement that ANN has the ability approximate any nonlinear mapping, it is feasible to build a model of time difference of signals and other characteristics with AE source position. This locating method can be widely used in AE source location on account of high accuracy, practicality and reliability.
