Abstract

Edge notched A16061-T6 aluminum was repaired with a GFRP composite patch as a function of the number of stacking, Damage progress of specimen for tension load has been monitored by acoustic emission(AE), AE energy rate, hit rate, amplitude, waveform and 1st peak frequency distribution were analyzed. Fracture processes were classified into Al cracking, Fiber breakage, Resin cracking and Delamination. Displacement of a specimen can be divided into Region I, II and ill according to acoustic emission characteristics. Region II where the patch itself was actually fractured was focused on to clarify the AE characteristics difference for the number of stacking.

본 연구는 편측 노치가 삽입된 A16061-T6 알루미늄 합금 평판 시편에 대해 유리섬유강화플라스틱(GFRP) 복합재 패치의 적층수를 변수로 하여 보수히고, 인장 하중에 따른 시편의 손상 과정을 음향방출법(acoustic emission, AE)으로 실시간 분석하였다. AE 에너지 발생률(AE energy rate), hit 발생률(hit rate), AE 진폭(AE amplitude) 거통과 파형 및 1차 중심주파수(1st peak frequency)의 대역을 조사하여, 시편 파괴시 알루미늄 크랙(Al cracking), 섬유 파단(fiber breakage), 수지 균열(resin cracking), 층간 분리(delamination)로 분류하였다. 시편의 변위를 음향방출 특성에 따라 구간(region) I, II, III으로 나눌 수 있었으며, 패치 자체가 실제 파괴되는 구간인 구간 II를 세부적으로 분석하여 패치의 적층수에 따른 AE 특성 차이를 구하였다.
