    Abstract: An acoustic emission internal testing method and device for detecting corrosion of a large liquid-carrying storage tank bottom plate. An acoustic emission sensor is configured to collect an acoustic emission signal generated by an underwater acoustic transducer, and to calculate an attenuation coefficient of the acoustic emission signal when propagated by the underwater acoustic transducer through a medium, thereby determining a step distance of the storage tank robot. After the storage tank robot travels every step distance on a storage tank bottom plate, the acoustic emission sensor collects an acoustic emission signal generated by the storage tank bottom plate. Finally, the position where the storage tank bottom plate is corroded and the corrosion degree are determined according to intensity characteristic parameters and activity characteristic parameters of the acoustic emission signal collected after the storage tank robot travels every step distance.
