Title: AECM-4; Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Acoustic Emission from Composite Materials, Seattle, WA, July 27-31, 1992

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5867187

Various papers on AE from composite materials are presented. Among the individual topics addressed are: acoustic analysis of tranverse lamina cracking in CFRP laminates under tensile loading, characterization of fiber failure in graphite-epoxy (G/E) composites, application of AE in the study of microfissure damage to composite used in the aeronautic and space industries, interfacial shear properties and AE behavior of model aluminum and titanium matrix composites, amplitude distribution modelling and ultimate strength prediction of ASTM D-3039 G/E tensile specimens, AE prefailure warning system for composite structural tests, characterization of failure mechanisms in G/E tensile tests specimens using AE data, development of a standard testing procedure to yield an AE vs. strain curve, benchmark exercise on AE measurements from carbon fiber-epoxy composites. Also discussed are: interpretation of optically detected AE signals, acoustic emission monitoring of fracture process of SiC/Al composites under cyclic loading, application of pattern recognition techniques to acousto-ultrasonic testing of Kevlar composite panels, AE for high temperature monitoring of processing of carbon/carbon composite, monitoring the resistance welding of thermoplastic composites through AE, plate wave AE composite materials, determination of the elastic properties of composite materials using simulated AE signals, AE source location in thin plates using cross-correlation, propagation of flexural mode AE signals in Gr/Ep composite plates.
