Japanese Committee on Acoustic Emission (JCAE) was originally organized in 1969 under sponsorship of the High Pressure Institute of Japan and in cooperation with the Japanese Society for Non-Destructive Inspection(JSNDI). In 1979, JCAE became Committee 006 on Acoustic Emission of JSNDI, and currently is called the Ad Hoc Committee on Acoustic Emission. The committee of JSNDI has sponsored biennial international symposia since 1972, and published 18 proceedings of these symposia.
