Abstract
The fatigue behaviour of quasi-isotropic carbon fibre reinforced epoxy laminates under tension-tension cyclic loading is investigated. The a coustic emission technique is used to monitor the different damage mec hanisms activated throughout the fatigue life. Filtering of acoustic e mission events is performed to reject the events attributed to frictio n related mechanisms. After appropriate filtering of the AE data, the fatigue damage process can be monitored in terms of cumulative AE coun ts.
