IDENTIFICATION OF THE VISCOELASTIC CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS OF FLAX FIBREREINFORCED LAMINATESBY VIBRATION ANALYSIS
International audience; Experimental and numericalapproaches to identify the viscoelastic properties of flax fibrereinforced epoxy composite laminatesare proposed in this study. The method used consisted theidentification of the evolutions of both loss factor and stiffness through the use of the frequency responses. Several free-free symmetrically guided beams were excited on the dynamic range of 10 to 4000 Hz with a swept sine excitation focused around their first’s modes. A fractional derivative Zener model was used to predict the behaviourof on-axis ply complex moduli. The modified ply constitutive law was then implemented in Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) calculation routine. The pro…
Prediction of Dissipative Properties of Flax Fibers Reinforced Laminates by Vibration Analysis
This study proposes an experimental-numeric method to identify the viscoelastic properties of flax fibres reinforced composite laminate (flax/epoxide). The used method consists in identifying the evolutions of both loss factor and stiffness when vibrational frequency changes. In this way, several free-free symmetrically guided beams are excited on a dynamic range of 10 to 4000 Hz with sweep sine excitation focused around the 4-first’s modes. Fractional derivative Zener model is used to identify the on-axis ply complex moduli and describe the laminate dissipative linear behavior with the classical laminate theory. Results obtained on a quasi-isotropic laminate show that this model adequately…
Determination of dynamic properties of flax fibres reinforced laminate using vibration measurements
International audience; Experimental and numerical methods to identify the linear viscoelastic properties of flax fibre reinforced polymer (FFRP) composite are presented in this study. The method relies on the evolution of storage modulus and loss factor as observed through the frequency response. Free-free symmetrically guided beams were excited in the dynamic range of 10 Hz to 4 kHz with a swept sine excitation focused around their first modes. A fractional derivative Zener model has been identified to predict the complex moduli. A modified ply constitutive law has been then implemented in a classical laminates theory calculation (CLT) routine. Overall, the Zener model fitted the experime…
