Hybrid composites (made up of carbon and glass) have widely adopted acoustic emission
(AE) as a technique to study their structural behavior. However, the fiber breakage damage …

Abstract Machine learning algorithms are trained and compared to identify and to
characterise the impact on typical aerospace panels of different geometry. Experimental …

Thin‐ply hybrid composite is an attractive technology for realizing high‐performance ductile
composites (carbon and glass). However, the continuous carbon (CC) layers are limited to a …

This work proposes a novel baseline-free method for real-time structural damage diagnosis
during low-and high-velocity impact, based on the decomposition of the propagating modes …

The reliability of aircraft control surfaces, constructed from thermoplastic materials, can be
affected by impacts from airborne particles. Recognizing the exact position of such impacts …

Carbon fibers (CFs) have received tremendous attention since their discovery in the 1860s
due to their unique properties, including outstanding mechanical properties, low density …

The paper reports the results of an experimental and numerical investigation into the effect
of the support conditions on the low velocity impact behaviour of sandwich composite …

In the study, based on the model of acoustic emission during the destruction of a composite
material by shear force according to the Von Mises criterion, the effect of non-uniformity of …

Carbon fiber laminates are susceptible to impact damage due to the lack of fibers in the
direction of impact. Often such damage can be difficult to find with visual assessment …
