Data underlying the publication: Acoustic Emission Approach for Identifying Fracture Mechanisms in Composite Bonded Joints: A Study on Varying Substrate’s Stacking Sequence

The dataset shared here contains the acoustic emission raw data of quasi-static mode I crack propagation tests in secondary composite adhesively bonded joints. Five adhesively bonded tailored composites with different stacking sequences were manufactured and tested. The specimens underwent several damage mechanisms, including cohesive failure, delamination, fibre breaking and fibre-matrix debonding.The dataset is divided into different folders, with the specimen identification described here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tafmec.2024.104490. Moreover, two types of files will be saved in each folder: .tradb (transient waveforms recorded during the tests) and .pridb (file that includes all the parameters recorded for each waveform).An additional folder named Load versus Displacement contains the experimental curves taken from the quasi-static mode I test.
