All rights reserved 0263-8223/95/$9.50 Vibration and damping analysis of beams with composite coats Ahmed Abd El-Hamid Hamada Production Engineering & Mechanical Design Department, Faculty of Engineering, Menoujia University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt Numerical and experimental investigations of the dynamic behavior for coated laminate composite beams has been presented and discussed in the present work. A numerical technique is utilized to compute the eigen parameters of coated laminated composite beams. An attempt to study the variations in the natural frequencies and damping properties of laminated composite coated beams taking into account different lamina orientation of coat and various kinds of core isotropic material (steel and aluminium) is introduced. The variations of the eigen parameters vs. the code number of the coated layer with the use of various types of isotropic material are measured by utilizing (the frequency response displayed on) an (FFT) analyzer. The experimental and numerical work is carried out on four different fiber orientations, aligned longitudinally, transversely, making 45 with the fibers direction and randomly oriented. Comparison between experimental and numerical results shows a tight connection between them. INTRODUCTION Fiber reinforced composite materials have been widely used in applications ranging from lami- nated aircraft wings in the aeronautical industry to the coating on brake pedal assemblies in the automobile industry. The increasing usage of composite materials as a coating of conven- tional materials in structural applications is attributed to their high strength to density ratios, high resistance to fatigue, low coefficient of friction, and the lotv damping capacities of the high strength material. On the other hand the use of laminated composite materials as a coating for isotropic materials may well prove valuable for structural purposes such as the reduction of vibrations and noise in sheet metal frames of machines and an increase in the wear resistance at contact surfaces.-5 Coated laminated composites offer the com- bined advantages such that the great stiffness and strength of usual elastic sheets can be uti- lized in the design to provide the needed strength and to increase the total internal damping in the structure.6-8 In the present work, a constrained coated isotropic beam with different lamina orientation of composite coats of the core with various kinds of isotropic mate- rial has been investigated numerically and experimentally. The numerical work includes the computation of the eigenfrequencies of elastic constrained beams with different code numbers in terms of the equivalent stiffness and mass parameters. The experimental results in frequency domain with the utilization of FFT analyzer are listed and represented in various curves. PROBLEM STATEMENT For a composite coated beam the equivalent stiffness can be recast in the form: E,I=C 2Ekb J dk+;2 dy, (1) k d, 2b c =Tk=O,l.2.. &(&-&), where E, can be expressed in terms of the on- axis properties of the lamina serial E,l, E22, 33 34 A. A. El-Hamid Hamada G12 and v12.10 1 +- n4 E22 (2) where m = cos 8; n =sin 8. Similarly the equivalent mass per unit length, can be cast as: m=C mk=C 2bpuk s d k k+dy, k 4 =2b c k=O,l,z.,. h(dk+rdk)* (3) where pk is the density of the k layer, and b is the width of the beam and mk is the mass per unit length of the Kth layer. Here the distance from the neutral axis of the beam to the two successive layers k and k + 1 is given by dk as shown in Fig. 1. NUMERICAL WORK With the help of eqns (1) and (3), the natural frequencies of the laminated coated beam can be then expressed in the form:9 i=O,1,2,3...

Referring to the mixture role, the mechanical properties of composite unidirectional lamina of continuous fiber glass reinforced plastics are calculated and with the use of the Pagano-Tsail and Hu1113 models the properties of the random fiber are calculated: EC=+ E,+3 ET (5) Gc=$ E,+$ ET The mechanical properties of composite unidir- ectional lamina are calculated using mixture role, and the numerical results for the glass/ polyester composite are listed in Table 1. EXPERIMENTAL WORK The test specimen is a laminated coated beam dimensions 300 x 25 mm and thickness 7 mm. The thickness of the coated layer of fiber glass is 1 mm for each side of core beams, Fig. 2. The fiber volume fraction is 0.54%. Eight specimens were constructed and manufactured using the hand lay out technique and the raw material was obtained from the Arab Company for Developed Materials, Maadi, Cairo. The experimental apparatus is shown in Fig. 3. The specimen was mounted in a test rig and excited by a B&K (8202) impact hammer, with a force transducer type (8200) built into the tip to register the force input. The excitation signal was fed to the analyzer through the charge amplifier (2635) at the end and mid point position of the specimen where all modes would be excited. The resulting vibration response was regis- tered by a piezoelectric accelerometer type Table 1.

The acceler- ometer signals were conditioned in the charge amplifer and fed to the dual channel signal ana- lyzer (2304). The analyzer, in conjunction with the fast fourier transform (FFT), gives the mathematical connection between time and fre- quency, successively displaying the frequency response spectrum (FRS) and the coherence functions, registered in the given frequency range as shown in Fig. 4. MEASUREMENTS OF EIGEN PARAMETERS OF COATED SPECIMENS To study the effect of fiber lamina orientation of coating and type of core isotropic material (steel and aluminium) on the dynamic behavior of coated beams, different boundary conditions were imposed on the specimen under vibra- tional systems mounted on the testing rig. The specimen location in the test rig is ensured using tightened clamped edges. Eight specimens of steel and aluminium beams are coated with four different fiber orientations, aligned longitu- dinally, transversely, making 45 with the fiber direction and randomly oriented. The ampli- tudes were measured in the normalized form at various points.

The damping factor < of a particular resonance can be calcu- lated from the width of the resonance peak in the magnitude of the (FRF)14,15 and the form: [= l/2&, Q=wlwd Hence resonant frequency (wd) and the width (w) can be found from the magnitude diagrams using the reference cursor. The value of the damping factor [ was plotted against frequency and the effect of coated lamina orientation and boundary conditions are studied and discussed as shown in Figs 5 and 6. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The resonant frequencies, amplitudes and damping factors of laminated coated beams have been measured and analysed for different lamina coating code numbers for two types of core (steel and aluminium). The frequency spectra of core and coated steel beams are shown in Fig. 4; multi peaks were monitored within the selected range fre- quency. Table 2 shows the variation of the funda- mental frequency, amplitude and damping factor for different coated beams and for two core materials, steel and aluminium, using two types of fixation. It can be indicated that the amplitude of the specimen coated by 0 fiber orientation is relatively low compared with the others. This is due to the maximum stiffness at this orientation. In contrast the amplitude of the specimen coated by 90 fiber orientation is relatively high compared with the others. This is due to the minimum equivalent stiffness at this orientation.

Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, it is observed that the damp- ing factor is small for coated orientation with 8=0 compared with the other code coat num- bers. This is explained by the fact that fiber orientations in these directions are expected to increase the core beams stiffness. Also, for coated orientations with 0=90, the damping factor is high compared with the other orienta- tions. This direction decreases the core beam stiffness, where the maximum energy dissipation results in a large system damping factor. Therefore, according to practical require- ment, the natural frequencies of metallic components can be controlled by coating lami- nated layers of various code numbers. For the sake of comparison, the measured and computed values of frequencies for two cases of fixations (C-F, C-C) are listed in Tables 3 and 4. The natural frequencies of the aluminium coated beams with 6=0 are higher than those of steel coated beams are indicated in Tables 3 and 4, from which it can be seen that the high- est structural damping is for aluminium while the lowest value of damping capacity was mon- itored for steel beams as shown in Figs 5 and 6. The comparison between the experimental and numerical results of the frequencies indi- cates a good agreement. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, the dynamic analysis of various lamina coated orientations of glass/ polyester beams has been investigated experimentally and verified numerically in terms of equivalent stiffness and mass parameters.

The results obtained from the present investigation showed that the frequency response function (FRF) of the tested specimens is a good key for charac- terising the material response under various dynamic conditions. From the present study one can indicate that: (1) (2) (3) coated laminated beams provide high damping capacities compared with iso- tropic single metal beams; the lamina coated code numbers have a dominant effect on the quantitative nature of the dynamic characteristics of the structures; in contrast to the dynamic behaviour of composite structures,16 the experimental and numerical results of the coated sam- ples fabricated here, indicate the possibilities to improve the damping capacities without considerable variations in the natural frequencies of the structure within a certain frequency spectrum and a selected coated code number, (and vice versa) as shown in Table 2, Figs 5 and 6. The result is that the present technique provides an efficient tool for the control of dynamic structures. REFERENCES 1. Ahmed, M. K., Dynamic analysis of sandwich beams. J.
