Dynamic Behaviour of Single Lap-Jointed Cantilevered Beams

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to predict the dynamic behaviour of single lap-jointed cantilevered beams theoretically and to validate the predictions via experimental tests. The ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) software was used to predict the natural frequencies, mode shapes and frequency response functions (FRFs) of lap-jointed beams. The LMS (Leuven Measurement System) CADA-X dynamic test software and the LMS-DIFA Scadas II 48 channel data acquisition hardware were used in experimental measurement of the dynamic response of the lap-jointed beams. It is shown that the natural frequencies of the single lap-jointed cantilevered beams from experiment are lower than those predicted using FEA. It is also found that the measued FRFs are close to the predicted FRFs for the first two modes of vibration of the single lap-jointed cantilevered beam. Above the second mode of vibration, there is considerable discrepancy between the measured and predicted FRFs.
