Effects of Structural Damage on Dynamic Behavior at Sandwich Composite Beams – Part II- FEM Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents results obtained by modal analysis on composite beam like structures in healthy and damaged state. The aim is to obtain damage “signatures” for all possible damage scenarios and to use these data to assess transversal cracks based on vibration techniques, by involving natural frequency shifts. The analysis was performed in SolidWorks software for a five-layer composite, 20 vibration modes being obtained by numerical simulation.
