Characterization of the damage area in glass fibre reinforced composites using AE planar localisation

摘要

The aim of this work was to characterise the damage area in impacted glass wovenrnlaminates loaded in three-point bending using the acoustic emission technique.rnThe first system was based on a glass fibre fabric/polyester and the second on anrnE-glass mat/ polyester laminate. The thicker weaving of the fibre bundles in thernsecond laminate was employed in order to improve the impact resistance of thernmaterial.
