Article Citation - WoS: 1A Comprehensive Analysis of Acoustic Emission Signals To Distinguish the Different Damage Types for Fiber-Reinforced Polymers: A Review(Wiley, 2025-12-03) Yilmaz, CagatayFiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) attract the attention of key industries, such as aerospace, wind energy, and automotive, as they can reduce the weight of structural components without compromising their mechanical properties. Due to FRP's anisotropic and non-homogeneous structure, their failure under different loading conditions and the corresponding failure mechanisms must be investigated. One method that progressively monitors the failure of FRP underload is Acoustic Emission (AE). AE can register the elastic stress waves in the form of digitized waveforms, released by the discontinuous events that occur in the FRP under load. These discontinuities can be clustered and identified as transverse cracking, fiber/matrix interface debonding, delamination, and fiber failure by analyzing the AE waveforms. Recently, numerous clustering approaches using machine learning algorithms, along with the varying features of AE waveforms, have been developed and are being used. These algorithms include supervised and unsupervised clustering, deep learning algorithms, and neural network methods, among others. While supervised algorithms require a training dataset to classify AE signals, unsupervised algorithms can perform clustering without training datasets. Deep learning and neural network algorithms can train themselves to cluster data, but they may require a significant amount of computer power when the dataset is large. This review paper provides comprehensive information on the clustering algorithm, along with the AE wave features, the range of features for different damage types, and the type of reinforcer.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Investigating Strain Rate Effects on Damage Mechanisms in Hybrid Laminated Composites Using Acoustic Emission(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-12) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Etcil, Mustafa; Caliskan, Umut; Zafar, Hafiz Muhammad Numan; Demirbas, Munise Didem; Bakir-Gungor, BurcuHybrid composites, which combine distinct fiber types such as carbon, basalt, and aramid, provide a synergistic balance of strength, stiffness, impact resistance, and energy dissipation, making them appealing for critical applications in aerospace, automotive, and other high-performance industries. Monitoring damage progression in these composites is vital for ensuring structural integrity and preventing catastrophic failures. Acoustic emission (AE) serves as a powerful, noninvasive technique for real-time structural health monitoring, capturing the transient stress waves generated when damage events occur. This study utilizes AE to examine the influence of strain rate on damage modes in carbon/basalt/aramid hybrid composites under three-point bending. An unsupervised feature selection based on Laplacian scores is employed to identify the most relevant AE features with damage modes, while SHapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) are used to evaluate the correlation between AE features and strain rates. The correlation analysis results indicate that peak frequency (PF) serves as a key indicator, demonstrating significant shifts at higher strain rates. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering is used to analyze hybrid composites by examining clustered AE signals based on selected features identified through Laplacian scores, with Silhouette scores employed to determine the optimal number of clusters. This study highlights the role of AE in understanding fiber interactions and damage evolution, offering valuable insights into the mechanical performance and optimization of carbon/basalt/aramid hybrid composite structures.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 8Ensemble Feature Selection for Clustering Damage Modes in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sandwich Composites Using Acoustic Emission(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2024-07-15) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Caliskan, Umut; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi CagriAcoustic emission (AE) serves as a noninvasive technique for real-time structural health monitoring, capturing the stress waves produced by the formation and growth of cracks within a material. This study presents a novel ensemble feature selection methodology to rank features highly relevant with damage modes in AE signals gathered from edgewise compression tests on honeycomb-core carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. Two distinct features, amplitude and peak frequency, are selected for labeling the AE signals. An ensemble-supervised feature selection method ranks feature importance according to these labels. Using the ranking list, unsupervised clustering models are then applied to identify damage modes. The comparative results reveal a robust correlation between the damage modes and the features of counts and energy when amplitude is selected. Similarly, when peak frequency is chosen, a significant association is observed between the damage modes and the features of partial powers 1 and 2. These findings demonstrate that, in addition to the commonly used features, other features, such as partial powers, exhibit a correlation with damage modes. This article presents a novel ensemble feature selection methodology to rank features relevant to damage modes on acoustic emission signals in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sandwich composites. Subsequently, ranked features are utilized in unsupervised clustering models to identify damage modes. The comparative results demonstrate that, along with common features, other features, like partial powers, have a robust correlation with damage modes.image (c) 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH
