AE control results for cyclic tests of metal samples with a notch are presented. The main stages of the fatigue crack development and standard AE parameters are matched. A criterial plane which allows to separate clusters corresponding to the stages of stable and avalanche-like defect growth has been constructed. It is shown that the boundaries of clusters remain unchanged irrespectively to the differences in the kinetics of damage development.
