Ultrasonic testing and acoustic emission are acknowledged non-destructive testing methods for pipeline inspection; however, attenuation is a significant issue in long-range structures such as pipelines. A gradient-index metamaterial lens composed of subbed unit cells is proposed to address the energy loss by amplifying the signal through wave focusing. A prototype is tested actively (ultrasonic testing) and passively (acoustic emission) in the laboratory, and significant amplification of the signal is observed. The reciprocity between the two methods is validated.
