Large amplitude vibrations of heated Timoshenko beams with delamination

摘要

In this work, the large amplitude vibration of a heated Timoshenko composite beam having delamination is studied. The model of delamination considers the contact interaction between sublaminates including normal forces, shear forces, and additional damping due to the interaction of sublaminates. This work is an extension of the previous analysis based on a model of the dynamic behavior of a beam with delamination considering additionally the nonlinearities due to large displacements and temperature changes. Numerical calculations are performed in order to estimate the influence of the delamination, the geometrically nonlinear terms, and elevated temperature on the response of the beam.
