Abstract

The damage field in a precracked particulate composite specimen subjected to a complex cyclic loading history was investigated using acoustic imaging techniques. The acoustic imaging data were analyzed to delineate the damage field ahead of the cracks tips and to generate contour plots of the damage intensity. The results of these analyses were compared and the effect of the loading history on the damage field discussed.
