Abstract
This paper reviews the efforts expanded in evaluation of damage characteris tics in a highly filled polymeric material under various loading conditions . Several different nondestructive testing techniques, including ultrasonic , acoustic imaging, and real-time radiography, have been used to monitor da mage initiation and evolution processes. The nondestructive testing data we re analyzed and the results are discussed. Published by Elsevier Science Lt d.
