The deformation behavior and damage mechanism of 3-D carbon/epoxy braided composites with different braiding angles under the monotonic compressive loading are investigated by the acoustic emission (AE) technique. The damage process is divided into several different regions based on the change of the accumulative AE event counts. Correlations between the damage mechanisms and the AE results are established in terms of the events energy and amplitude. These correlations can be used to monitor the fracture growth process in the braided composites. Experimental results reveal that the AE technique is an effective tool for identifying damage mechanisms.
