Abstract

Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) is increasingly being used in infrastructural applications like bridges, chemical plants etc., where the environment can limit the expected service life of structures made of conventional materials such as reinforced concrete, steel or timber. Advantages of FRP over conventional constructional materials are its high specific strength and specific stiffness, ease with which it can be moulded to various shapes, corrosion resistance, lower lifecycle cost, durability etc. Estimation of accurate dynamic responses of FRP structures is very important from their operation point of view. Such dynamic responses are functions of material properties, boundary conditions, geometry and applied loading. FRP being an anisotropic and layered composite material, a large number of elastic material property parameters are to be determined. Moreover, its structural fabrication and material fabrication at constituent level being one unified process, the actual existing material property parameters may vary considerably from those specified in established standards or determined from characterisation tests. The present approach attempts at establishing a nondestructive technique based on experimental modal testing and finite element model updating to estimate the elastic material parameters of an ‘I’ beam made of FRP, thereby making the prediction of dynamic responses more accurate. Static load test on the beam and characterisation tests on samples cut from actual structure are conducted to assess the performance of this updating exercise. The current approach can also be used to nondestructively monitor degradations of elastic material properties over time and thus can be used for health monitoring of existing FRP structures.

基于试验模态试验和有限元模型修正的纤维增强塑料工字梁数值模拟方法的改进

纤维增强塑料(FRP)越来越多地用于基础设施应用，如桥梁、化工厂等，在这些应用中，环境会限制由钢筋混凝土、钢或木材等传统材料制成的结构的预期使用寿命。玻璃钢优于传统建筑材料的优点是其高比强度和比刚度，易于模塑成各种形状，耐腐蚀，较低的生命周期成本，耐久性等。从FRP结构的运行角度来看，准确估计FRP结构的动力响应是非常重要的。这种动态响应是材料特性、边界条件、几何形状和施加载荷的函数。FRP作为一种各向异性层状复合材料，需要确定大量的弹性材料性能参数。此外，其结构制造和材料制造在组成层面是一个统一的过程，实际存在的材料性能参数可能与既定标准中规定的或从特性测试中确定的参数有很大差异。本方法试图建立一种基于试验模态测试和有限元模型更新的无损技术来估计FRP制成的“I”型梁的弹性材料参数，从而使动态响应的预测更加准确。对梁进行静载试验，并对从实际结构上切割下来的样品进行特性试验，以评估这次更新工作的性能。目前的方法还可用于无损监测弹性材料性能随时间的退化，从而可用于现有FRP结构的健康监测。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration (IJAV) is the refereed open-access journal of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV). The IIAV is a non-profit international scientific society founded in 1995. The primary objective of the Institute is to advance the science of acoustics and vibration by creating an international organization that is responsive to the needs of scientists and engineers concerned with acoustics and vibration problems all around the world. Manuscripts of articles, technical notes and letters-to-the-editor should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief via the on-line submission system. Authors wishing to submit an article need to log in on the IJAV website first. Users logged into the website are able to submit new articles, track the status of their articles already submitted, upload revised articles, responses and/or rebuttals to reviewers, figures, biographies, photographs, copyright transfer agreements, and send comments to the editor. Each time the status of an article submitted changes, the author will also be notified automatically by email. IIAV members (in good standing for at least six months) can publish in IJAV free of charge and their papers will be displayed on-line immediately after they have been edited and laid-out. Non-IIAV members will be required to pay a mandatory Article Processing Charge (APC) of $200 USD if the manuscript is accepted for publication after review. The APC fee allows IIAV to make your research freely available to all readers using the Open Access model. In addition, Non-IIAV members who pay an extra voluntary publication fee (EVPF) of $500 USD will be granted expedited publication in the IJAV Journal and their papers can be displayed on the Internet after acceptance. If the $200 USD (APC) publication fee is not honored, papers will not be published. Authors who do not pay the voluntary fixed fee of $500 USD will have their papers published but there may be a considerable delay. The English text of the papers must be of high quality. If the text submitted is of low quality the manuscript will be more than likely rejected. For authors whose first language is not English, we recommend having their manuscripts reviewed and edited prior to submission by a native English speaker with scientific expertise. There are many commercial editing services which can provide this service at a cost to the authors.
