Abstract

Acoustic Emission (AE) technique is non-destructive Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technique which has the potential to detect internal damages in real time. Literature reveals that researchers have used three-dimensional (3d) Finite Element Method (FEM) to predict AE waveforms in isotropic and single-layer anisotropic plates. However, the study to predict acoustic emission waveforms using FEM in layered composites and sandwich plates is limited in literature. Modelling of such layered plates is challenging as material properties may vary from one layer to another across the plate thickness. In this study, an effort has been made for two-dimensional finite element modelling for predicting AE waveforms in layered composites and sandwich plates using a generalised refined plate theory modelling. Numerical examples are first solved for isotropic and anisotropic plates and validated with the results obtained from 3d FEM. New results are presented for multilayered composites and sandwich plates.
