Abstract:

For successful structural health monitoring and structural integrity evaluation of a laminated composite structure, it is important to study the effects of delamination on the propagations of the guided waves in a delaminated composite beam by using an accurate and computationally efficient method. Thus, we developed a “frequency-domain” spectral element model for the symmetric composite beams. First-order-shear-deformation-theory (FSDT) based Timoshenko beam theory and Mindlin-Herrmann rod theory are adopted for the flexural (bending) waves and axial (extensional) waves, respectively. A spectral element model is derived from the governing equations of motion by using the variation method in the frequency domain. After validating the accuracy of the proposed spectral element model, the model is used to investigate the effects of delamination on the propagation of guided waves in examples of composite beams.
