Nonlinear Dynamical Effects and Observations in Modeling and Simulating Damage Evolution in a Cantilevered Beam

Abstract: This study investigates the nonlinear dynamic failure characteristics of a notched cantilever beam using numerical finite element models and experiments with various displacement loads at the root of the beam. Damage states of the beam are represented as quasi-static equilibrium points and, subsequently, all significant damage events are modeled as bifurcations (qualitative changes) in the set of stable equilibria for the structure-damage system using a set of low-order normal forms. When analytical models are… Show more

“…An efficient experimental approach was introduced by Hamey et al (2004) in which piezoelectric sensors were used to capture the curvature mode shapes for detecting the damage in a damaged carbon/epoxy composites beam. The low-order nonlinear normal forms were applied to a cantilever beam with a notch crack in Nataraju et al (2005), where the damages in the beam have been modeled as bifurcations in the stable equilibrium points.…”
