Numerical study of the response of dynamic parameters to defects in composite structures
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 38
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to study three different models of delamination in composite plate (the free mode model, the constrained model and the contact model) and applicability of this models to the vibrational method of damage detection based on frequency shifts. The results of numerical simulation have shown that the free mode model leads to abrupt changes in natural frequencies due to non-physical condition of mutual penetration of adjacent volumes in the defect zone. The constrained and the contact models yield qualitative agreement in shifts of natural frequencies with a change of the defect size. All models have shown the necessity of analyzing shifts of high frequencies to detect small size delamination

Stress-state dependent cohesive model for fatigue crack growth
In the cohesive framework, a stress-state dependent cohesive model, combined with an irreversible damage parameter has been used in simulation of fatigue crack growth initiation and continued growth. The model is...
Estimation of fatigue lifetime for selected metallic materials under multiaxial variable amplitude loading
This paper initially investigates the accuracy of two methods, i.e., the Maximum Variance Method (MVM) and the Maximum Damage Method (MDM), in predicting the orientation of the crack initiation plane in three...
Crack initiation characteristics and fatigue property of a high-strength steel in VHCF regime under different stress ratios
Crack initiation characteristics and fatigue property of a high-strength steel in very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime under different stress ratios were investigated in this paper. Fatigue tests were performed...
Experimental and analytical study of cracks under biaxial fatigue
Most mechanical components experience multi-axial cyclic loading conditions during service. Experimental analysis of fatigue cracks under such conditions is not easy and most works tend to focus more on the s...
Influence of crack offset distance on the interaction of multiple cracks on the same side in a rectangular plate
In the present work finite element method has been employed to study the interaction of multiple cracks in a finite rectangular plate of unit thickness with cracks on the same side under uniaxial loading condition...
