Analysis of dynamic properties for a composite laminated beam at intermediate strain rate
Abstract
The dynamic mechanical behavior of a graphite epoxy composite laminate in flexural vibration has been investigated. The effects of fiber orientation and vibration frequency for both unidirectional tape and Kevlar fabric were studied both analytically and experimentally. Measurement of storage and loss moduli were presented for laminated double cantilever beams of fiber reinforced composite with frequency range from 8 to 1230 Hz (up to 5th mode).
