The flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by external bonding of composite materials has proved to be an efficient and practical technique. This paper presents a study on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete continuous beams with three spans (one span and two cantilevered) strengthened by bonding carbon fiber fabric (CFRP). The model is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility requirements in and all parts of the strengthened continuous beam, i.e., the continuous concrete beam, the FRP plate and the adhesive layer. The adherend shear deformations have been included in the present theoretical analyses by assuming a linear shear stress through the thickness of the adherends. Remarkable effect of shear deformations of adherends has been noted in the results. The theoretical predictions are compared with other existing solutions that shows good agreement, and It shows the effectiveness of CFRP strips in enhancing shear capacity of continuous beam. It is shown that both the normal and shear stresses at the interface are influenced by the material and geometry parameters of the composite beam.

The laminate IPMC actuator have been developed with a commercial Nafion film and platinum electrodes. Equivalent beam and equivalent bimorph beam models for IPMC(Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite) actuators are described. By using a beam equation with estimated physical properities and actuation displacements of a cantilevered IPMC actuator are estimated. And Finite element analysis(FEA) was done by ANSYS.

It is investigated that the characteristics of rotating cantilevered composite beam with a breathing crack. In the present study, the crack is modeled as a breathing crack which opens and closes with the motion of the unidirectional graphite-fiber reinforced polyimide beam. For the finite element analysis, the cracked element is modelled by the local flexibility matrix calculated on the basis of fracture mechanics using Castiligano theorem. Rotating beam is considered only transverse bending motion so that the element includes two degrees of freedom per node such as the transverse deflection and slope. The time history and frequency response function of the beam with a breathing crack are studied by Newmark direct time integration method and FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)simulation. Effects of various parameters such as the crack depths, crack locations, ply angles, volume fraction ratios, and rotating speeds of the beam are also studied. Numerical results indicate that it is more reliable to be modelled as a breathing crack than an open crack.

The responses of composite laminated beams modeled with finite element and excited by stochastic loading are studied. The cantilevered laminated beam having a 5 ply configuration is considered. The beam is 1m long, 0.1m wide, and 0.02m thick, yielding a length to thickness ratio of L/h=50. The laminated beams was assumed to be made of Born Epoxy. The four nodes at the free end of the cantilever were loaded with identical zero-mean white noise excitations. Stress and failure analysis loaded with identical zero-mean white noise excitations is carried out. Along with the obtained results, comparison and discussion are presented for the cases of symmetric-ply, antisymmetric-ply, angle-ply, and cross-ply laminated beams.

This paper concerns the analytical modeling and dynamic analysis of advanced cantilevered blade structure implemented by a dual approach based on structural tailoring and viscoelastic materials technology. Whereas structural tailoring uses the directionality properties of advanced composite materials, the passive materials technology exploits the damping capabilities of viscoelastic material(VEM) embedded into the host structure. The structure is modeled as a composite thin-walled beam incorporating a number of nonclassical features such as transverse shear, secondary warping, anisotropy of constituent materials, and rotary inertias. The case of VEM spreaded over the entire span of the structure is considered. The displayed numerical results provide a comprehensive picture of the synergisitic implications of the application of both techniques, namely, the tailoring and damping technology on vibration response of thin-walled beam structure exposed to external time-dependent excitations.

모든 층을 한 방향으로 적층하여 횡방향 굽힘과 축방향 인장운동이 연성되어 나타나는 복합재료 외팔보에 다중횡방향 개구형 크랙이 있는 경우에 대하여 자유진동 특성을 고찰하였다. 모든 크랙 위치에서의 파괴역학적 특성을 스프링 상수로 변환하여 산출하고 크랙사이 구간의 보를 전단변형 및 회전관성효과를 포함하여 해밀톤 원리로부터 운동방정식 및 경계조건을 유도하고, 라플라스 변환법을 사용하여 자유진동 특성에 관한 해를 구하였다. 복합재료의 설계 변수로서 섬유 체적비와 적층각을 설정하였으며, 크랙의 외형적 변수로서 크랙의 갯수, 분포 위치 및 크랙 깊이를 설정하여 이들 변수에 대한 고유진동수 및 모드형상의 변화 경향을 도출함으로써 임의의 다수 크랙이 분포되어 있는 보다 실제적인 상황에서의 진동변화에 근거를 둔 비파괴 검사가 이루어질 수 있는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 해석 결과 복합재료 보에 단일 크랙이 있는 경우에 비해 다중 크랙이 있는 경우가 여러 가지 변수에 대해 훨씬 복잡한 형태로 나타나고 있음을 보여준다.

Robust control of a GFR composite beam with a distributed PVDF sensor and piezo-ceramic actuator is presented En this paper. Modal analysis method and modal coordinates are introduced to obtain the state educations of the structural system. 1st and 2nd natural frequencies are considered In the modeling, because robust control theory which is robustness to structured uncertainty is adopted to suppress the vibration. If the controllers designed by H$\^$$\infty$/ theory do not satisfy control performance, it is improved by ${\mu}$-synthesis method with D-K Iteration so that the ${\mu}$-controller based on the structured singular value satisfies the nominal performance and robust performance.

A novel laminated-hybrid-composite-beam (LHCB) of glass-epoxy infused with flyash and graphene is constructed for this study. The conventional mixture-rule and constitutive-relationship are modified to incorporate filler and lamina orientation. Eringen's non-local-theory is used to include the filler effect. Hamilton's principle based on fifth-order-layer-wise-shear-deformation-theory is applied to formulate the equation of motion. The analogous shear-spring-models for LHCB with multiple-cracks are employed in finite-element-analysis (FEA). Modal-experimentations are conducted (B&K-analyser) and the findings are compared with theoretical and FEA results. In terms of dimensionless relative-natural-frequencies (RNF), the dynamic-response in cantilevered support is investigated for various relative-crack-severities (RCSs) and relative-crack-positions (RCPs). The increase of RCS increases local-flexibility in LHCB thus reductions in RNFs are observed. RCP is found to play an important role, cracks present near the end-support cause an abrupt drop in RNFs. Further, multiple cracks are observed to enhance the nonlinearity of LHCB strength. Introduction of the first to third crack in an intact LHCB results drop of RNFs by 8%, 10%, and 11.5% correspondingly. Also, it is demonstrated that the RNF varies because of the lamina-orientation, and filler addition. For 0° lamina-orientation the RNF is maximum. Similarly, it is studied that the addition of graphene reduces weight and increases the stiffness of LHCB in contrast to the addition of flyash. Additionally, the response of LHCB to moving mass is accessed by appropriately modifying the numerical programs, and it is noted that the successive introduction of the first to ninth crack results in an approximately 40% to 120% increase in the dynamic-amplitude-ratio.

광강도형 광섬유 진동센서를 이용한 구조물의 진동감지 및 판에서의 충격위치 검출에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 광섬유 진동센서는 유리 모세관의 내부에 광섬유의 클래딩 부분이 서로 마주보게 하여 제작되며 그 중 한 쪽은 외팔보 형태이다. 진동이 센서에 가해지면 센서 내부의 외팔보가 진동하게 되고 그에 따라 맞은편 광섬유로 전해지는 빛의 강도가 변화하게 된다. 진동감지 실험을 위해 광섬유 진동센서를 복합재료 보의 표면에 부착하고 자유 진동 및 강제 진동에 대한 신호를 취득하였다. 충격 위치 검출에 관한 실험은 아크릴 판에 대하여 알려진 위치에 네 개의 센서를 표면에 부착하고 진동의 도달 시간을 FFT를 이용하여 측정하였다. 충격위치는 이러한 시간차이를 이용하여 계산되어졌다. 광섬유 진동센서는 상용센서인 갭센서와 동일하게 구조물의 진동을 감지하였으며 판에서의 충격위치를 비교적 정확히 측정하였다.
