Abstract The analysis of bending and buckling of orthogonally stiffened plates may be simplified by conceptually replacing the plate-stiffener combination by an “equivalent” homogeneous orthotropic plate of constant thickness. This procedure requires the determination of the four elastic rigidity constants which occur in the theory of thin orthotropic plates. Methods are presented whereby these quantities may be determined analytically in terms of the elastic constants and geometrical configuration of the component parts of the structure.

A simple experimental method is proposed for the determination of the elastic constants of orthotropic plates. This method employs the self-stabilizing feature of the pure twisting tests, from which relations among the independent elastic constants can be derived. Using filament-wound materials as test specimens, good experimental confirmation of the proposed method is found.

A novel modal analysis technique called impact-synchronous modal analysis (ISMA) was introduced in previous research. With the utilization of impact-synchronous time averaging (ISTA), this modal analysis can be performed in presence of ambient forces whereas the conventional analysis method requires machines to be totally shut down. However, lack of information of phase angles with respect to impact in ISMA has caused it to be labor-intensive and time-consuming. An automated impact device (AID) is introduced in this study in the effort to replace the manually operated impact hammer and prepare it to be used in the current practice of ISMA on the purpose of enhancing its effectiveness and practicability. Impact profile and isolation effect are noted to be the contributing parameters in this study. This paper devoted on calibrating and controlling of the AID which gives the desired impact profiles as compared to the manual impact hammer. The AID is found effective in the determination of dynamic characteristics when the device is isolated from the boundary condition of the test structure.
