- Abstract
- This study analyzed failure behavior using Ib-values obtained from acoustic emission (AE) signals. Carbon fiber/epoxy specimens were fabricated and tested under tensile loads, during which AE signals were collected. The dominant peak frequency exhibited a specific range according to fracture mode, depending on the fiber structures. Cross-ply specimens, with all fracture modes, were used and analyzed using b- and Ib-values. The b-values decreased over the specimens' entire lifetime. In contrast, the Ib-values decreased to 60% of the lifetime, and then increased because of the different fracture behaviors of matrix cracking and fiber fracture, demonstrating the usefulness of Ib-values over b-values. Finally, it was confirmed that abnormal conditions could be analyzed more quickly using failure modes classified by Ib-values, rather than using full AE data.
