Abstract:
The acoustic emission(AE) on-line monitoring tests of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) specimens with fiber orientation of 0°, 90° and ±45° were carried out during tensile and bending mechanical damage. The results show that the fiber ply angle is the main factor for determing the mechanical properties and damage rules of FRP. The degree of grey relation between tensile force or bending force and amplitude can reach over 0.861. The signal amplitude and other parameters are used to judge the different damage stages of the specimen. There are obvious differences in waveform and spectrum between four typical AE signals produced by specimen damage.
