Acoustic Emission-Based Study to Characterize the Crack Initiation Point of Wood Fiber/HDPE Composites

The crack initiation point can be regarded as a sign of composite failure and plays a vital role in the evaluation of fracture toughness. Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are viscoelastic materials and the evaluation of fracture mechanism and toughness has a great significance in their applications. T...
