National audienceIn this study a polyamide 66/6 based composite reinforced with twill woven glass fabric is investigated using an advanced ultrasonic method. It is well established that the damage scheme of those of composites depends on both applied loading and fiber’s orientations. Tensile tests on samples oriented (i) along the mold flow direction and (ii) at 45° of this direction were performed. Increasing stress levels were applied on those two samples configurations until composite final failure. A stiffness constants measurement using ultrasound is then carried out for each applied stress level. Different damage schemes were observed for the two samples configuration.Based on the transmitted ultrasonic signals acquisitions a new dama...
