Model specimens are fabricated to obtain expected damage mechanisms during tensile testing. Then, relationship among AE descriptors is studied by hierarchical cluster analysis, and AE signals are classified by k-means algorithm. Finally, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is created and trained by various optimal algorithms to identify damage mechanisms. The results reveal that typical damage mechanisms in PE self-reinforced composite can be classified in terms of the similarity between AE signals and identified by a well trained ANN.
