Abstract: | Monitoring of acoustic emission activity is employed to characterize the initiation and progression of local failure processes
during nanoindentation-induced fracture. Specimens of various brittle materials are loaded with a cube-corner indenter and
acoustic emission activity is monitored during the entire loading and unloading event using a transducer mounted inside the
specimen holder. As observed from the nanoindentation and acoustic emission response, there are fundamental differences in
the fracture behavior of the various materials. Post-failure observations are used to identify particular features in the
acoustic emission signal that correspond to specific types of fracture events. Furthermore, analysis of the parametric and
transient acoustic emission data is used to establish the crack-initiation threshold, crack-arrest threshold, and energy dissipation
during failure. It is demonstrated that the monitoring of acoustic emission signals yields both qualitative and quantitative
information regarding highly localized failure events in brittle materials. |
