Abstract This research advances the field by focusing on the damage assessment of adhesively bonded joints using AE, with limited prior studies in this specific area. Through the preparation of CFRP specimens and subsequent tensile loading tests, AE signals were captured and analyzed. The study employed wavelet decomposition for noise reduction and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for signal analysis, facilitating the identification of damage-related frequencies and amplitudes. Hierarchical clustering was applied to categorize AE signals into distinct damage behaviors, utilizing a divisive approach that avoids local minima and offers unique results at each iteration. The method's… More >
