A. Loukidis et al. / Structural Integrity Procedia 00 (2019) 000–000 5 The present results of Fig.4 which have been found by studying the acoustic events a few moments before rupture obviously generalize the latter finding in the laboratory scale.

5. Conclusions In the present work, we showed that the study of the AE energy in natural time by means of the quantity κ 1 exhibits a behaviour similar to that observed for the order parameter of various equilibrium and non equilibrium critical systems. Hence, the present results advocate for the use of κ 1 as an order parameter for the AE that precedes rupture.
