dc.titleMonitoring mechanical damage in structural materials using complimentary NDE techniques based on thermography and acoustic emissionen
heal.abstractThis work deals with nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of the fracture behavior of metallic materials by combining thermographic and acoustic emission (AE) characterization. A new procedure, based on lock-in infrared (IR) thermography, was developed to determine the crack growth rate using thermographic mapping of the material undergoing fatigue. The thermography results on crack growth rate were found to be in agreement with measurements obtained by the conventional compliance method. Furthermore. acoustic emission was used to record different cracking events. The rate of incoming signals, as well as qualitative features based on the waveform shape, was correlated with macroscopically measured mechanical parameters, such as load and crack propagation rate. Additionally, since the failure modes have distinct AE signatures, the dominant active fracture mode was identified in real time. The application of combined NDE techniques is discussed for characterizing the damage process which leads to catastrophic failure of the material, thereby enabling life prediction in both monolithic aluminum alloys and aluminum alloy/SiC particle (SiCp) reinforced composites.
