Indication of the Destruction Stage of Epoxy PES-Filled Composite Using the Connected Parameter of Acoustic Emission Rate and the Spectral Characteristics of AE Signals

Sergejs Bratarčuks

Abstract


The methods of non-destructive testing have an important role in the problem of maintenance of transport and transport infrastructure. They make possible the early detection of internal defects in engineering structures and elements of vehicle design. The samples of composite materials used in the construction of transport infrastructure elements and transport vehicles have been tested. This paper shows the features of AE, which may allow more efficient and accurate analysis of the state of composite objects. The relation of the intensity and frequency characteristics of signals has been revealed. This work discusses the possibility of unambiguous identification of the stage of composite object destruction on the basis of these parameters.

Keywords:
