The AE method allows the detection and location of damage using specific localisation algorithms. Knowledge of the propagation velocity and attenuation of the AE wave is required. However, contrary to metallic material, the anisotropic nature of composite material gives a large range of propagation velocity due to fibre orientation. Moreover, the attenuation of the AE waves is more complex than in a homogeneous material [2]. In addition, in a same composite material, wave attenuation is more significant in cracked than in healthy state, which will complicate the signal processing after few damage modes have developed, especially for the amplitude distribution. Qualifying damage started first in 2D composites and Mehan and Mullin in 1968 [3] managed to identify three basic failure mechanisms: (i) fiber fracture; (ii) matrix cracking; (iii) and fibre/matrix interfacial debonding. The authors reported the application of AE in composites in 1971 [4], discriminating audible types for these three basic damage modes using an AE system. After forty years, Godin et al. [5] conducted mapping of cross-ply glass/epoxy composites during tensile tests. They have classified four different acoustic signatures of failure and determined four conventional analyses of AE signals.

where ΔE is the strain energy released due to the cracking formation. This is determined by subtracting the strain energy density of a cracked cell from the strain energy density of non-cracked cell while ΔA represents the area of the cracked surface. Strain energy release rate actually defines the potential locations for crack formation along the yarn or its cross section. Cracks are more likely to form in locations where the strain energy release rate is high. 2ff7e9595c
