Abstract
  • Identifying material parameters in composite plates is a necessary first step in a variety of structural applications. For example, understanding the material parameters of carbon fiber composite is important in investigating sensor and actuator placement on micro-air-vehicle wings for control and wing morphing purposes. Knowing the material parameters can also help examine the health of composite structures and detect wear or defects. Traditional testing methods for finding material parameters such as stiffness and damping require multiple types of experiments such as tensile tests and shaker tests. These tests are not without complications. Methods such as tensile testing can be destructive to the test specimens while use of strain gages and accelerometers can be inappropriate due to the lightweight nature of the structures. The proposed inverse problem testing methods using digital image correlation via high speed cameras can potentially eliminate the disadvantages of traditional methods as well as determine the required material parameters including stiffness and damping by conducting only one type of experiment. These material parameters include stiffness and damping for both isotropic and orthotropic materials, and ply angle layup specifically for carbon fiber materials. A finite element model based on the Kirchoff-Love thin plate theory is used to produce theoretical data for comparison with experimental data collected using digital image correlation. Shaker experiments are also carried out using digital image correlation to investigate the modal frequencies as validation of the results of the inverse problem. We apply these techniques first to an aluminum plate for which material parameters are known to test the performance and efficiency of the method. We then apply the method to a composite plates to determine not only these parameters, but also the layup angle. The inverse problem successfully estimates the Young's modulus and damping for the aluminum material. In addition, the vibration analysis produces consistent resonance frequencies for the first two modes for both theoretical and experimental data. However, carbon fiber plates present challenges due to limitations of the Kirchoff-Love plate theory used as the underlining theoretical model for the finite element approximation used in the inverse problem, resulting in a persistent mismatch of resonance frequencies in experimental data.
