Laminated Composite Beams

Modal kinetic energy (MKE) feature has been mostly employed for optimal sensor layout strategies; nevertheless, little attention is paid to use the feature to the field of structural damage detection. The article presents the extensive applicability of MKE change ratio (MKECR), a good damage sensitive parameter, to damage localization and quantification of laminated composite beams. The formulation of the parameter is based on the closed-form of element MKE sensitivity. The performance of the offered damage detection method is numerically verified by a clamped-clamped composite beam and a two-span continuous composite beam with different hypothetical damage scenarios. The influence of incomplete mode shapes, various noise levels as well as damage magnitudes on damage prediction results are also investigated. The obtained results from these numerical examples indicate that the offered method reliably localize the actually damaged elements and approximately estimate their severities, even under incomplete measurements at a high noise level.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

In this Paper, the analysis of simply supported laminated composite beam having uniformly distributed load is performed. The solutions obtained in the form of the displacements and stresses for different layered cross ply laminated composite simply supported beams subjected uniformly distributed to load. Different aspect ratio consider for different results in terms of displacement, bending stress and shear stresses. The shear stresses are calculated with the help of equilibrium equation and constitutive relationship. Using displacement field including trigonometric function of laminated composite beams are derived from virtual displacement principle. There are axial displacement, transverse displacement, bending stress and shear stresses. In addition, Euler-Bernoulli (ETB), First order shear deformation beam theory (FSDT), Higher order shear deformation beam theory (HSDT) and Hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory (HYSDT) solution have been made for comparison and better accuracy of solutions and results of static analyses of laminated composite beams for simply supported laminated composite beam.

Laminated Composite Beams

The uses of laminated composite beams are increasing day by day in many industries. This laminated composite beam has been exposed under different dynamic loadings in mechanical operation. Therefore, the dynamic investigation of laminated composite beams (LCB) is very much necessary to forecast the catastrophe fail of the LCB components. At present, dynamic investigation of the LCB is carried out by the determining of fundamental frequency and mode shape. The special attentions like; in the design of geometry, orientation of fibres, layup of sections and boundary conditions are also analysed with referring the dynamical loadings and industry uses. The analysis procedures and results are validated with the reference results using finite element analysis software. Present research deals with the consequence of different volume fraction, boundary conditions and geometrical variation like aspect ratio, geometric ratio and length of E-glass polyester LCB. By altering different stacking sequences and these effects on mechanical properties as well as natural frequency are also analysed.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the analysis of the effectiveness of triangular shaped smart constrained layer damping (SCLD) treatment in attenuating geometrically nonlinear transient vibrations of laminated composite beams. The SCLD treatment is comprised of an advanced vertically reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composite (PZC) as the constraining layer and an isotropic viscoelastic layer as the constrained layer, which is modeled using a two-dimensional fractional order derivative (FOD) model with Grünwald definition of the FODs. A nonlinear meshfree model of the smart composite beam is developed for analyzing its nonlinear transient response within the framework of a layerwise shear and normal deformation theory considering von Kármán type geometric nonlinearity. Cantilever type composite beams having different lamination sequences integrated with regular rectangular/triangular type of SCLD treatments are considered for presenting the numerical results. For comparison purpose, a geometrical constraint has been imposed such that both the rectangular and triangular shaped SCLD treatments will cover the equal area on the top surface of the beam. The numerical analyses demonstrate the effectiveness of the triangular shaped SCLD patches over the rectangular SCLD treatment in controlling the nonlinear vibration of laminated composite beams. The two-dimensional FOD model of the viscoelastic material has been efficiently implemented for the active damping analysis of smart composite beam.

The use of engineered cementitious composite (ECC) has attracted extensive attention in recent years because of the highly enhanced ductility owing to its unique strain-hardening behavior. In this paper, an electromechanical impedance-based technique is used to monitor the structural damage of RC beams strengthened with an ECC layer at the tensile zone. To achieve this purpose, three specimens are tested under bending loads to evaluate the proposed damage detection methodology. Five externally bonded PZT transducers are uniformly distributed at the surface of the ECC layer of the beams to measure the output conductance signatures in a healthy state and in different damage scenarios induced by different load levels. Test results showed that discrepancies exist between the signals measured in the intact state and each damage state, which can be used to evaluate the structural integrity changes. To assess the damage of ECC-concrete composite beams quantitatively, the statistical scalar index-root mean square deviation (RMSD) is used as the index, which can be calculated from the variations of conductance measurements of PZT sensors. The damage index values of the uniformly distributed PZT sensors provided cogent evidence of damage and revealed the evolution of structural damage. The crack patterns of beams at different damage levels are compared with the damage index values, and it shows the damage location can be derived from the measured conductance signatures of an array of PZT transducers.

Laminated Composite Beams

Vibration-based technique to detect damage in laminated composite beams, rectangular plates and cylindrical shells is presented in this paper.A parameter called damage indicator calculated based on mode shape curvature isused in this studyto detect the location and size of small damages accurately in laminated composite structures. Through numerical analysis of laminated compositecantilevered beam, plate and cylindrical shell models with edge crack as damage, the absolute change inthe damage indicator is localized in the region of damage. Thechange in damage indicatorincreases withincreasing size of damage. Thisinformationis obtained by considering two cases of damage sizes (case-1 and case-2)in the structures. Finite element methodbased commercial analysis package ANSYSis used to obtain thenormalized displacement mode shapesof the three models both for intact and damaged states and then the damage indicator is calculated from the mode shapes data.The numerical analysis to detect damage is followed by validation by experimental modal testing.
