In this work, the large amplitude vibration of a heated Timoshenko composite beam having delamination is studied. The model of delamination considers the contact interaction between sublaminates including normal forces, shear forces, and additional damping due to the interaction of sublaminates. This work is an extension of the previous analysis based on a model of the dynamic behavior of a beam with delamination considering additionally the nonlinearities due to large displacements and temperature changes. Numerical calculations are performed in order to estimate the influence of the delamination, the geometrically nonlinear terms, and elevated temperature on the response of the beam.

Elegantly poised over the Mobile River, the twin pylons and the semi-harped cable stays of the Cochrane Bridge subtly complement the vast and undulating landscape of the Mobile Bay as the bridge carries US Route 90 over the Mobile River in Alabama. In February 1998, light rain drizzled on the bridge, and a weather station nearby recorded wind speeds of about 48 km/h (30 mph). Under these seemingly mild weather conditions, the normally immobile cable stays started to vibrate, and within moments, these nascent vibrations reached amplitudes of more than 1.2 m (4 ft). Alarmed by this event, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) took immediate action to ensure the continued safety and serviceability of the bridge. A team of consultants was selected by ALDOT to investigate mitigation measures for the large-amplitude cable-stay vibrations. The fast-tracked comprehensive program planned and implemented to inspect, test, document, and evaluate the effects of the large-amplitude vibrations and the recommendation of retrofit measures that would limit future occurrences of such cable-stay vibrations on the Cochrane Bridge are described in detail.
