The fatigue performance of one widely used wrought magnesium alloy AZ31B in rolled form was studied using acoustic emission (AE). AE energy release during corrosion fatigue (CF) testing was measured at room temperature. It is found that AE energy release can express corrosion fatigue damage experienced by the material.

Abstract A statistical lattice model was developed to investigate the energy associated with damage and failure of wood. The model incorporates several important morphological aspects of wood such as grain direction, early wood percentage and grain geometry. The model was developed to investigate progressive damage under enforced boundary displacements and has been adapted to predict fracture energy related phenomena. In this particular study, notched specimens were loaded in uniaxial tension while monitored by a passive acoustic emission (AE) measurement system. The energy associated with the mechanical damage was measured by the AE instruments and compared with the energy released by ruptured elements in the lattice model. Cumulative energy release was tracked as a function of specimen load and deformation in both model and experiment. A ratio was established between the cumulative AE energy released at the first drop in load and the cumulative fracture energy released when the model load-deformation relationship becomes significantly non-linear. An additional ratio was established between the total fracture energy measured prior to 50% of peak strain and the total fracture energy measured prior to peak strain. The magnitudes of these energy release ratios vary owing to a change in failure modes between the short model and the larger specimens; however, the shape of the AE energy release curve up to failure coincides well with that predicted by the model simulations.

Uni-axial tensile plastic deformation behavior of rolled magnesium alloy AZ31B under the temperature range from room temperature(RT) to 250°C with strain rates between 10-3 and 10-1s-1 has been systematically investigated. Microstructure evolution and texture were determined using optical microscopy (OM) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques, respectively. Our results indicated that the strength and elongation-to-fracture were more sensitive to strain rates at elevated temperature rather than that at room temperature; dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and relaxation of stress at elevated temperature resulted in dramatic change of mechanical properties. Compared with strain rate, the temperature played a more important role in ductility of AZ31B Mg alloy sheet.

Since reinforced concrete (RC) deck slabs are usually damaged by cyclic live load, it is necessary to monitor the deck slab for operation and maintenance purposes. Acoustic emission (AE) is an excellent technique, which can be used for continuous monitoring and detecting fatigue damages of RC structures. First, the AE was applied for evaluating fatigue damage of RC deck slab with truck wheel traveling test in laboratory. The results showed that there was a correlation between the AE energy and damage degree of the slab. Thus, it was able to presume the damage degree by AE energy. In the next step, a test by vehicle with clear mass in a in‐service bridge was performed. The results of the laboratory and in‐service bridge tests imply that the damage degree of RC deck slab are able to evaluate by AE energy.
