Carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) composites are widely used in high-temperature thermo-structural applications. They are subjected to extreme loading conditions, such as random vibrations, which are likely to damage the structure. Structural micro-damage identification during vibration is very difficult, owing to the randomness of the environmental vibration and the complicated response it causes in structures. This study aims to determine a method for monitoring the damage properties of a C/SiC structure under a random vibration environment using acoustic emission (AE) technology. First, a pencil break experiment is conducted to verify the feasibility of the AE technology. Then, an AE monitoring experiment of the structural damage in a vibration environment is systematically conducted. Two types of experiments are designed for simulating the damage formation process inside the structure. In addition, the parameter characteristics of typical AE signals in the random vibration test are analyzed, and the relationships between the AE signal parameters and vibration loading are obtained. Lastly, the different stages of material damage development and damage types in each stage are provided to reveal the damage evolution processes of C/SiC composites. The results indicate that AE technology can be effectively applied to investigate the damage behaviors of C/SiC composites in random vibration environments.
