Single Fiber Composite(SFC) 시험법과 Acoustic Emission(AE)를 이용한 고분자 복합재료 계면전단강도 및 미세파손기구의 해석

The failure phenomenon of Dual Basalt Fibers Reinforced Epoxy Composites(DFC) under tensile load was studied using acoustic emission(AE) technique. AE amplitude and AE energy were mainly associated with the internal microscopic failure mechanism of DFC specimen, such as fiber fracture, matrix cracking, and fiber/matrix debonding. Fiber failures in the DFC specimens were distinguishable by showing the highest AE energy amplitude. They were dependant on the fiber diameters. Matrix cracking was determined from the relatively lower AE amplitude and AE energy, whereas fiber/matrix debonding could not be successfully isolated. AE method, however, can be applicable to the fragmentation method for interfacial strength(IFSS) in DFC specimens with adjusting the threshold to isolate fiber breaks from matrix crack and debonding.
