To study the acoustic emission evolution characteristics of saturated limestone under different loading and unloading paths, three cyclic loading and unloading tests were conducted with different loading rates and initial cyclic peak stresses, and acoustic emission monitoring was performed simultaneously. The results indicate that, during loading and unloading, the intermediate-frequency signals of saturated rock exhibit a variation trend of sparse–dense–sparse signals, whereas the low-frequency signals are continuously and massively produced. With the increase in the loading rate, the development trends of cumulative hits and energy become closer, and the development form of ringing count changes from N-type to U-type and then to N-type. The slight increase period and attenuation period are extended, whereas the intense growth period and postpeak calm period are shortened. With an increase in the initial cyclic peak stress, the change in cumulative energy is more obvious than that in cumulative hits near the rock failure. The development form of the ringing count changes from U-type to W-type and then to N-type, and each period is first shortened and then extended. With the increase in loading rate, the increase in the slow-change period tends to change from gradually increasing to increasing and then decreasing. By contrast, the increase in the step tends to change to a gradual increase. With the increase in the initial cyclic peak stress, the duration of and increase in the energy in the step and the slow-change period tend to decrease and then increase.

The Relationship

To study the effect of loading rate on mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of coal samples, collected from Sanjiaohe Colliery, the uniaxial compression tests are carried out under various levels of loading rates, including 0.001 mm/s, 0.002 mm/s, and 0.005 mm/s, respectively, using AE-win E1.86 acoustic emission instrument and RMT-150C rock mechanics test system. The results indicate that the loading rate has a strong impact on peak stress and peak strain of coal samples, but the effect of loading rate on elasticity modulus of coal samples is relatively small. When the loading rate increases from 0.001 mm/s to 0.002 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 22.67 MPa to 24.99 MPa, the incremental percentage is 10.23%, and under the same condition the peak strain increases from 0.006191 to 0.007411 and the incremental percentage is 19.71%. Similarly, when the loading rate increases from 0.002 mm/s to 0.005 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 24.99 MPa to 28.01 MPa, the incremental percentage is 12.08%, the peak strain increases from 0.007411 to 0.008203, and the incremental percentage is 10.69%. The relationship between acoustic emission and loading rate presents a positive correlation, and the negative correlation relation has been determined between acoustic emission cumulative counts and loading rate during the rupture process of coal samples.

To analyse the effect of loading rate on the energy evolution of rocks under cyclic loading and unloading, tests on saturated limestone were conducted at loading rates of 0.15, 0.2, and 0.3 mm/min, and the evolution characteristics of plastic, elastic, dissipation, and input energies were examined under different loading rates. The results indicated that the plastic strain in the entire test was directly proportional to the loading rate. In addition, strength, residual stress, plastic energy, and dissipation energy under residual resistance were inversely proportional to the loading rate. The plastic strain exhibited a decreasing–stabilising–increasing trend, and the smaller loading rate delayed the “increasing” trend. The increasing extent of each energy exhibited the following trend: input > elastic > plastic > dissipation energy. Furthermore, the first three types of energy exhibited a slow–fast–slow–fast increase trend. The dissipation energy exhibited a fast–steady–fast–slow–fast increase trend. Additionally, the elastic energy index exhibited a large increase–steady increase–decrease trend, which was proportional to the loading rate. The damping ratio exhibited a decrease–increase–decrease–increase–decrease trend which was proportional to the loading rate in the compaction stage and inversely proportional to the plastic stage.

In the present article, acoustic emission signals were utilized to predict the damage in polymer matrix composites, reinforced by carbon fibers, in the low-cycle fatigue regime. Displacement-controlled fatigue tests were performed on open-hole samples, under different conditions, at various displacement amplitudes of 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 mm and also under various displacement rates of 25, 50, 100 and 200 mm/min. After acquiring acoustic emission signals during cycles, two characteristic parameters were used, including the energy and the cumulative energy. Obtained results implied that the energy parameter of acoustic emission signals could be used only for the macroscopic damage, occurring at more than 65% of normalized fatigue cycles under different test conditions. However, the cumulative energy could properly predict both microscopic and macroscopic defects, at least two failure types, including matrix cracking at first cycles and the fiber breakage at last cycles. Besides, scanning electron microscopy images proved initially such claims under all loading conditions.

The paper presents the results of the study of registered acoustic emission (AE) parameters during static deformation and damaging of polymer composite materials (PCM). Mechanical tests were done by a static tension and a static three-point bend, accompanied by an acoustic emission method. The assessment of the loading rate effect on defects formation processes was done by additional static tension test at rate equal half of recommended by the standard and static three-point bend test at rate ten times lower than that calculated by the standard. Clustering by frequency components of the recorded AE signals with a self-organizing Kohonen map was performed. The characteristics of the types of PCM structure damage by the centroids of the obtained clusters are given. Based on the clusters accumulation during mechanical tests, the stages of damage formation for static tension and static three-point bend, the loading rate effect on the process of damage formation are described.

The effect of reinforcement phases on indentation resistance and damage behavior of glass/epoxy laminates was investigated in this research work. Woven glass fiber mat and nonwoven chopped glass fiber mat were used as fiber reinforcement phases for fabricating the laminates. Low-velocity impact and quasi-static indentation tests were performed on both laminates to investigate the contact behavior and energy-absorbing capability. Moreover, the acoustic emission (AE) technique was employed to monitor the indentation damage resistance. AE parameters including normalized cumulative counts (NCC), normalized cumulative energy (NCE), rise angle (RA), and felicity ratio (FR) were analyzed. The bidirectional laminates showed premature load drops and drastic changes in the normalized cumulative counts/energy profile in the beginning of loading cycles, indicating the development of macrodamage such as debonding/delamination. AE sentry function results of bidirectional laminates show longer PII function at the earlier stages, associated with minor PIII function and greater PIV function, indicating the continuous degradation and progression of damage. In contrast, the chopped laminates exhibited superior postimpact performance than the bidirectional laminates. The presence of randomly oriented fibres prevents the delamination crack propagation during compression loading, which was attributed with the increased residual compressive strength.

The permeability of deep rock is closely related to the stability and safety of underground engineering. The rocks in deep stratum are mostly with high stress and high osmotic pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the coupling effect between porewater pressure and in situ stress on rock mass. A series of triaxial cyclic loading and unloading experiments under hydraulic-mechanics coupling conditions are carried out to studied the mechanical and hydraulic properties of granite in the depth of 1300 m to 1500 m. Especially, the effect of the disturbance on the permeability of fractured rocks are investigated by unloaded the confining pressure. Tests results presented that the stress-strain curves of deep granite showed typical brittle characteristics. The principal stress of granite exhibited a linear relationship under the high confining pressure of 34-40 MPa and high osmotic pressure of 13-15 MPa. Dissipated energy of the rock decreased to a relatively low level after 2-3 loading cycles and then slowly increased. Permeability showed a decreasing trend as the loading and unloading cycles increase. Finally, acoustic emission technology was used to monitor the fracture evolution in rocks, the acoustic emission signal released as the fractures develop and energy dissipated. The results would provide basic data for the exploitation and excavation in the deep galleries.

Abstract Results of online acoustic emission (AE) monitoring during fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) experiments on a stainless steel SS 316 LN are presented in this paper. Two specimen geometries — viz., standard compact tension (C(T)) specimens as well as side-grooved C(T) specimens were considered for experiments at ambient temperature and at 600°C (873K). There is a good correspondence between crack length increment and the increase in AE cumulative count and cumulative energy during the experiments. The side grove introduced on the thickness direction of the test specimen constrains the plastic zone ahead of the crack tip, thereby enforcing plane strain conditions at the crack. Reduced AE activity at initial stages of crack growth was observed for side grooved samples. The transition to Stage-II crack growth was observed using acoustic emission (AE) technique which otherwise was not visible from the fatigue crack growth plot. The work further attempts to correlate the AE parameters obtained during elevated temperature (873K) fatigue crack growth in stainless steel. For the purpose of acquiring AE signals outside the heated zone, a waveguide was used to transmit the acoustic waves from the specimen at high temperature. A correlation between crack advance and AE parameters was obtained from the elevated temperature tests.

Loading And Unloading

It is of significance to study the damage and destruction of rock under cyclic loading in geotechnical engineering. We determined the trends in damage evolution of sandstone under constant-amplitude and tiered cyclic loading and unloading under uniaxial compression. The results of the study show that (1) the variation of acoustic-emission events was consistent with the stress curves and 89% of all acoustic-emission events occurred during the cycling stages. The observed Kaiser effect was more notable in tiered cycling. (2) The damage variable increased sharply in the cycling stages and its increment was 0.07 higher for tiered cycling than constant-amplitude cycling. Sandstone exhibited greater damage under tiered cyclic loading and unloading. (3) Equations for the evolution of the damage variable under the two cycle modes were obtained by fitting of experimental data. (4) The fractal dimensions of the constant-amplitude cycle were larger than those of the tiered cycle. The process of damage and destruction presents a trend of reducing fractal dimension. The damage accumulation of sandstone under tiered cycling was faster than under constant-amplitude cycling. These results provide references for damage and early warning of rock under both constant-amplitude and tiered cyclic loading and unloading.
