Testing system and the assemblage of forcing blocks. Note: the upper and lower forcing blocks were each assigned a R15a AE sensor. The center block contained a total of three Nano30 and one R15a AE sensors. (a) Layout of the testing system. (b) Assemblage of the three forcing blocks and AE sensors arrangement.
