Vibrations of straight and curved composite beams: A review

Design and testing of composite compressor blades with focus on the vibration behaviour

“…Direction-dependent stiffnesses of composites influence the vibrational behaviour, which has been extensively investigated both experimentally as well as numerically on simple geometries as straight and curved beams [11]. The damping properties also show a direction-dependent behaviour with a maximum of the damping at an orientation of 15 • to 45 • to the fibre direction [6,12,13].…”

Spectral finite element for wave propagation analysis of laminated composite curved beams using classical and first order shear deformation theories

“…Laminated composite curved beams act as lightweight load carrying structural members in many modern structures. Several studies on the vibration analysis of curved composite beams have, therefore, been reported during the past few decades, a review of which can be seen in [1]. As three dimensional (3D) elasticity solutions for beams are analytically difficult to obtain and computationally involved, one dimensional (1D) beam theories have been proposed in which the 3D elasticity equations are reduced to 1D equations, by making a priori assumptions for the variations of the displacement variables across the beam cross-section.…”
