Acoustic Emission Analysis of Mode II Interlaminar Fracture Toughness of 3D Reinforced CFRP
The use of composites in industry is increasing due to their ability to replace traditional materials. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers offer a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, making them advantageous in numerous applications. Delamination is a common failure mode for composite materials, making it a crucial factor in ensuring material safety during service life. While fiber orientation in composites is designed for specific directional reinforcement, out-of-plane loads are often neglected, posing a critical challenge. Implementing through-thickness reinforcement, such as tufting, can enhance out-of-plane resistance, enabling more accurate structural designs. Non-destructive testing methods, particularly acoustic emission, play a significant role in ensuring component safety by detecting early damage and flaws. This study focused on monitoring mode II interlaminar fracture toughness and end-notched flexure (ENF), using acoustic emissions to compare the performance of samples with different through-thickness reinforcements against that of nonreinforced samples. The research analyzed acoustic emission patterns during testing, revealing a strong correlation with failure stages and the resistance induced by reinforcements. This approach provided valuable insights into damage characterization, supported by fractography analysis, especially concerning the final stages of failure due to damage, and the effects of different thread reinforcements. Acoustic emission proved crucial for real-time monitoring, enabling informed decisions to be made regarding component repair and lifespan extension in composite materials.
