    A Comprehensive Analysis of Acoustic Emission Signals To Distinguish the Different Damage Types for Fiber-Reinforced Polymers: A Review
    (Wiley, 2025-12-03) Yilmaz, Cagatay
    Fiber-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.

    Ensemble 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 Cagri
    Acoustic 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
