The non-destructive testing AE method is used widely in the field of transportation. This paper presents a case study of the elements of locomotives. This paper shows the possibility of using the intensity of the appearance of the AE as criterion in assessment of locomotive bogie frames and bolsters. The research has confirmed possibility of use of dynamic AE criterion for bolsters and bogie frames technical state assessment.
