J. Juracka
Brno Univ. of Technology, Czech Republic

Keywords: acoustic emission, composites, wing

The paper describes research on the fatigue behavior of composite wing segment and monitoring by acoustic emission for failure localisation. Summary of monitoring allows the definition of localisation maps, intensity and cumulative count of emission units depend on time for exact location of failure on specimen.
