A wide-band acoustic spectroscopy employing a laser sound source was u
sed for measuring the ultrasonic attenuation in samples of glass-fiber
composites in the frequency range from 1 to 20 MHz. Resonant peaks of
attenuation due to the periodical structure of the composite were fou
nd. A transformation of the ultrasonic attenuation spectra accompanyin
g changes in the sample structure due to microplastic fatigue was obse
rved.
