Identification of mechanical properties of composites based on design of experiments
Abstract
A numerical-experimental method for the identification of mechanical properties of laminated polymeric composites from the experimental results is being developed. For the first time, it is proposed to use the method of experiment planning to solve the identification (inverse) problems. The basic idea of the approach is that simple mathematical models are determined only from information on the response of a structure in reference points of the design. Therefore, a significant reduction in the calculation of the identification functional (about 50-100 times) can be achieved in comparison with the conventional methods of minimization. Examples of the numerical identification of the elastic properties of the laminated composites from the measured eigenfrequencies of plates are discussed.
