Summary of Practice4.1 This practice uses acoustic emission instrumentationand examination techniques during load/reloading of materialsbeing examined, to determine the onset of significant aco
17、usticemission. The onset of significant emission is related to thedamage-based design stress by the Felicity ratio.6,75. Significance and Use5.1 The damage-based design approach will permit anadditional method of design for GFRP materials. This is a veryuseful technique to determine the performance
18、of differenttypes of resins and composition of GFRP materials in order todevelop a damage tolerant and reliable design. This AE-basedmethod is not unique, other damage-sensitive evaluation meth-ods can also be used.5.2 This practice involves the use of acoustic emissioninstrumentation and examinatio
19、n techniques as a means ofdamage detection to support a destructive test, in order toderive the damage-based design stress.5.3 This practice is not intended as a definitive predictor oflong-term performance of GFRP materials (such as those usedin vessels). For this reason, codes and standards requir
20、e cyclicproof testing of prototypes (for example, vessels) which are nota part of this practice.5.4 Other design methods exist and are permitted.6.

Calibration and Verification8.1 Annual calibration and verification of AE sensors,preamplifiers (if applicable), signal processor, and AE elec-tronic waveform generator (or simulator) should be performed.Equipment should be adj
43、usted so that it conforms to equipmentmanufacturers specifications. Instruments used for calibra-tions must have current accuracy certification that is traceableto the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).FIG. 1 AE System Block DiagramE2478 11 (2016)38.2 Routine electronic evaluati
44、ons must be performed anytime there is concern about signal processor performance. AnAE electronic waveform generator or simulator, should be usedin making evaluations. Each signal processor channel mustrespond with peak amplitude reading within 62dBoftheelectronic waveform generator output.8.3 A sy
45、stem performance verification must be conductedimmediately before, and immediately after, each examination.A performance verification uses a mechanical device to inducestress waves into the material under examination, at a specifieddistance from each sensor. Induced stress waves stimulate asensor in
46、 the same way as emission from a flaw. Performanceverifications verify performance of the entire system (includingcouplant). (Refer to Guide E2374 for AE system performanceverification techniques).8.3.1 The preferred technique for conducting a performanceverification is a pencil lead break (PLB). Le
47、ad should bebroken on the material surface at a specified distance from eachsensor. The 2H lead, 0.012-in. (0.3-mm) diameter, and0.0790.118-in. (2 to 3-mm) long should be used (see Fig. 5 ofGuide E976 and Guide E2374).8.3.2 Auto Sensor Test (AST)An electromechanical devicesuch as a piezoelectric pul
48、ser (and sensor which contains thisfunction) can be used in conjunction with pencil lead break(8.3.1) as a means to assure system performance. This devicecan be used to replace the PLB post examination, systemperformance verification (8.3). (Refer to Guide E2374.)9. Test Methods9.1 The evaluation se
49、tup, loading arrangement, and speci-men dimensions for the flexure test shall be in accordance withProcedure B of Test Methods D790. Specimen thickness maybe dictated by the type of laminate being tested. Otherwise,specimens will be typically38-in. (9.5-mm) thick and shallhave sufficient width, clearance, and overhang to permitmounting of an acoustic emission sensor. Sensors should not bemounted in the middle third of the specimen.9.2 The evaluation setup, loading arrangement, and speci-men dimensions for the in-plane shear test shall be in accor-dance
