Identification of damage initiation and development in textile composite materials using acoustic emission KU Leuven
Damage in textile composites is closely connected with the internal micro- and meso-geometry of the reinforcement, and reveals features different from classical laminates. This paper presents a test sequence to characterise damage in textile composites and its dynamics of initiation and development on different scale levels in order to achieve a deep understanding of the relevant phenomena. The proposed test sequence consists of the following ...
