Investigation of Influence of Defect on Natural Frequency of Delaminated Composite Flat Panels Using FEM
摘要
The natural frequency responses of delaminated composite plates are investigated in this work. A flat laminated panel with defect in the form of delamination is simulated by employing ANSYS. For modeling of the composite panel, shell element with eight nodes is used. First, the convergence and validation study were performed. Further, numerical examples are presented and thoroughly discussed to elucidate the influence of size of the defect, modular ratio, aspect ratio, position and location of damage, and thickness-to-size ratio on the natural frequency of composite flat plates with defects.
