ACOUSTIC EMISSION FROM IMPACT-DAMAGED CFRP STRUCTURES UNDER STRESS LOADING

This study examined the applicability of acoustic emission method for the impact damage evaluation of CFRP pressure vessels. AE signals were detected during pressure proof tests of a CFRP pressure vessel before and after the impact test. 15J of impact energy was applied to the vessel by using a drop-weight impact tester. After the impact test, AE event rate during pressurization and pressure-holding period became higher compared to those detected before the impact test. Frequency components of AE signals were also changed after the impact test. From these results, it is assumed that AE method can be used for the impact damage detection of CFRP pressure vessels. Furthermore, location of impact damage might be estimated by AE method since most AE signals were first detected by the AE sensor near the impact damage.
