MODAL ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE PLATE BY USING ANSYS (original) (raw)
2024, IJRAME PULICATIONS
This study thoroughly investigates the vibration responses of fibre-reinforced laminated composite plates, focusing on identifying mode shapes and calculating natural frequencies. Theoretical calculations, based on the material properties, geometric dimensions, and boundary conditions, were performed to determine the natural frequencies at which the plate vibrates naturally under dynamic loads. A comprehensive modal analysis using ANSYS software involved creating a detailed 3D model of the composite plate with ply orientations set at 0 degrees and 90 degrees to study the effects of fibre orientation on the plate's vibration characteristics. Mode shapes, representing specific deformation patterns at each natural frequency, were identified, providing critical insights into the movement of different parts of the plate during vibration. The comparison of theoretical natural frequencies with those derived from ANSYS simulations showed a strong correlation, validating the accuracy of both the theoretical models and the ANSYS simulations. The results highlighted the natural frequencies for specific modes (Mode 11, Mode 21, and Mode 22), showing close agreement between theoretical and analytical values. This study demonstrates that theoretical models can accurately predict the natural frequencies and mode shapes of fibrereinforced laminated composite plates. The close match between theoretical and analytical results underscores the reliability of ANSYS software for conducting modal analysis in composite materials. Identifying mode shapes and natural frequencies is crucial for designing and optimizing composite structures to withstand operational loads and dynamic forces without experiencing excessive vibrations or failures.

Absrtact: Most of the structural components are generally subjected to dynamic loadings in their Working life. Very often these components may have to perform in severe dynamic environment where in the maximum damage results from the resonant vibrations. Susceptibility to fracture of materials due to vibration is determined from stress and frequency. Maximum amplitude of the vibration must be in the limited for the safety of the structure. Hence vibration analysis has become very important in designing a structure to know in advance its response and to take necessary steps to control the structural vibrations and its amplitudes. The present study involves extensive experimental works to investigate the free vibration of woven fiber Glass/Epoxy composite plates in free-free boundary conditions. The specimens of woven glass fiber and epoxy matrix composite plates are manufactured by the hand-layup technique. Elastic parameters of the plate are also determined experimentally by tensile testing of specimens. An experimental investigation is carried out using modal analysis technique, to obtain the Natural frequencies. Also, this experiment is used to validate the results obtained from the FEA using Ansys. The effects of different parameters including aspect ratio, and fiber orientation of woven fiber composite plates are studied in free-free boundary conditions in details. This study may provide valuable information for researchers and engineers in design applications.

2014
The vibrational analysis of laminated composite plates is analysed using finite element method. In this paper Numerical results have been computed for the effect of number of layers, thickness ratio of plate, different boundary conditions, different aspect ratio, and different angle of fibre orientation of laminated composite plate. The analysis for rectangular plate is carried out for thickness (h/b= 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2) and different aspect ratios (a/b=1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5). The problem of free vibration analysis of composite square plates having (3, 5, 7, and 9) lamina layers (angle ply and cross ply) is also considered. The non-dimensional fundamental frequency of vibration is found to increase with increase of angle of fibre orientation and number of layers but non-dimensional fundamental frequency decrease with increase in size ratio and thickness to width ratio. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are compared for different boundary condition. Comparisons are ma...
Study on Vibration Analysis of Composite Plate
Abstract-- This paper represents the review on vibration analysis of composite plates. As we know that vibration and composite material are two main growing research topics now a days. Almost all the structural components subjected to dynamic loading in their working life and vibration affects working life of the structure so it is very important in designing a structure to know in advance its response and to take necessary steps to control the structural vibration and its amplitude. Composite material gives opportunity to designer and engineer to increase material efficiency, resulting in cost reduction and better utilization of resources. Composites materials application are wide in aerospace industries, automobile sector, manufacturing industries etc. Presents study involves extensive experimental work to investigate the free vibration of woven fiber glass/epoxy composites plates in free-free boundary condition and I am interested to do research in fixed-free boundary condition of composite plates. Vibration of plates depends greatly on its thickness, aspect ratio, boundary condition and fiber orientation. In this paper we studies different mode frequency for free vibration according to change in aspect ratio, thickness and fiber orientation. The specimens of woven glass fiber and epoxy matrix composite plates are manufactured by the hand-layup techniques. Elastic parameters are determined experimentally by tensile testing of specimens. An experimental investigation is carried out using modal analysis technique to obtain the natural frequencies by using FFT analyzer. Also another analysis runs on ANSYS to validate the results. This study may provide valuable information for researchers, engineers and composite material industries in design applications.

The present research is an experimental and numerical investigation on parametric study of vibration characteristics of industry driven woven fiber carbon composite panels. The effects of different geometry, boundary conditions, lamination parameters and fibre on the frequencies of vibration of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) panels are studied in this investigation. The vibration study is carried out using B &K FFT analyzer, accelerometer, impact hammer excitation. The PULSE software is used to convert the responses from time domain to frequency domain. The Frequency Response Function (FRF) spectrum are studied with the coherences to obtain a clear understanding of the vibration characteristics of the CFRP plates. The experimental results are compared with the numerical predictions using the FEM program as well as software package ANSYS 13.0. A very good agreement was observed between the results. Different mode shapes were plotted to interpret the different modes of vibrati...
