Abstract

In order to predict the mechanical behavior of a composite during its service life, it is important to evaluate itsmechanical response under different types of external stresses by studying the initiation and development of cracksand the effects induced by damage and degradation. The onset of damage is related to the structural integrity of thecomponent and its fatigue life. For this, among other reasons, non-destructive techniques such as acoustic emission(AE) have been widely used nowadays for composite materials characterization. This method has demonstratedexcellent results on detecting and identifying initiations sites, cracking propagation and fracture mechanisms ofpolymer matrix composite and ceramic materials. This paper focuses on commenting the importance of the acousticemission technique as a unique tool for characterizing mechanical parameters in response to external stresses anddegradation processes by reviewing previous investigations carried out by the author as participant. Acoustic emissionwas employed to monitor the micro-failure mechanisms in composites in relation to the stress level in real-time duringthe tests carried out. Some results obtained from different analysis are discussed to support the significance of usingAE, technique that will be increasingly employed in the composite materials field due to its several alternatives forunderstanding the mechanical behavior; therefore, the objective of this manuscript is to involve the benefits andadvantages of AE in the characterization of materials.
