Abstract
The paper focuses on the damage monitoring and identification on ceramics or ceramic matrix composites even at very high temperature up to 1500 °C. Two approaches based on two complementary analyses of acoustic activity are presented: (1) an individual analysis of the signals: the objective of this analysis is to associate each EA signal with the generated damage mechanism. This allows, in real time, to quantify its severity. (2) a collective analysis of all the collected signals. The idea is to predict the lifetime of a component in service. Several damage indicators are defined, based on acoustic energy. These indicators highlight critical times or characteristic times allowing an evaluation of the remaining lifetime. In many cases, the interpretation of data measured by Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques is based on empirical correlations between the characteristics of the source and the measured signal. This main limitation is discussed at the end of the chapter and the interest of modelling works is also presented.
