However, conventional AE feature-based methods may lose critical time-frequency information, while many waveform-based approaches lack a clear physical linkage between frequency characteristics and damage modes. Motivated by these limitations, this study aims to propose a novel damage identification method based on AE modal energy analysis to investigate the influence of structural variations on the compressive performance and damage mechanisms of 3DWCs. Specifically, three representative frequency bands are defined based on global frequency-domain analysis, and AE signals are decomposed into a set of frequency components using variational mode decomposition (VMD). Based on experiments designed to isolate specific damage mechanisms, correlations are established between specific frequency components and distinct damage modes. Compared with conventional AE-based approaches, this method exploits more comprehensive frequency-domain information of AE signals and provides improved physical interpretability. The damage mechanisms of 3DWCs under compressive loading are further examined through a combined analysis of AE, digital image correlation (DIC), and microscopic observations. The results reveal that the waviness of load-bearing yarns alters the relative contributions of damage modes and accelerates the onset of explosive damage development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":283,"journal":{"name":"Composites Science and Technology","volume":"278 ","pages":"Article 111570"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146186976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PDEMA/PVA/CNT hydrogel actuator was fabricated via a simple one-pot synthesis method combined with freeze-thaw cycles. The actuator exhibits a tensile strength of 60 kPa and a fracture elongation of 648.5 %, which are attributed to its reinforced network structure. It also demonstrates rapid photothermal actuation mediated by dynamic disulfide bond exchange, initiated by the photothermal conversion of CNTs under near-infrared light irradiation.
