1.RATNAPARKHI AND SARNOBAT-

investigated the free vibrations of woven fibre glass and epoxy composite plate in free-free
boundary conditions by performing extensive experimental work. the specimen of woven fibre
glass and epoxy matrix was manufactured by hand layup technique. the resin serves as the
matrix for the reinforcing glass fibres. the percentage of fibre and matrix was kept 1:1 in weight.
Contact moulding in an open mould by hand layup was used to combine piles of woven roving
in the prescribed sequence. the effect of different parameters including aspect ratio and fibre
orientation were determined. after conducting experimental modal analysis and finite element
analysis on multiple specimen by altering aspect ratio and fibre orientation, the author
concluded that the natural frequency of plate increases with the increasing aspect ratio. the
natural frequency decreases as the ply orientation increases.
2.HUSAINM MEHDI ET AL
studied the vibrational behaviour of aluminium composite beam reinforced with synthetic
fibres with and without cracks using ANSYS. cracks being the main cause of damage to
structure undergoing dynamic loading, the author investigated the effect iof cracks on the
dynamic characteristics like natural frequency and modes of vibration of structures. they
constructed a three-dimensional model of composite beam with and without cracks and
performed computational modal analysis on ANSYS-14. the location of crack was varied from
10 to 90 percent of the beam length. the composite panel specimen has three layers, middle
layer is synthetic fibre (Nylon/ GFRP) and the upper and lower layer are aluminium. The author
after analysis concluded that the natural frequency of pure materials (Nylon / GFRP) are larger
than those of the composite beams made by them i.e. if a beam of aluminium reinforced with
Nylon has lower frequency than that of a beam of pure nylon, the same was observed for GFRP.
they also concluded that as the number of cracks increased the natural frequency decreases.
3. P Karthigeyan investigate the effect of various process like heating and acceleration on the
properties like hardness and weight of composite materials. the specimen was altered by
varying the proportion of resin, fly ash and calcium carbonate. the moisture absorption test was
performed on the specimen. moisture absorption at atmospheric temperature for 7 days was
noted and the moisture absorption at acceleration hygro- thermal test for 72 hours was also
noted. the hardness and the weight of this samples were noted after moisture absorption. after
performing the test, the author concluded that after dipping the sample in the sea water for
seven days, its weight increased and hardness was found to be decreased. after heating process
the sample was subjected to acceleration for nearly seventy-two hours, the weight further
increased and its hardness value further decreased. it also showed that the composite material
was 80% lesser in weight than iron and 60% lesser in weight than aluminium, so by employing
this composite material in aircraft industries, more than 800 kg of reduced for the construction
of airplanes.
4. S S CHAVAN, M. M JOSHI
studied the vibration of a composite plate by performing experimental work to determine the
free vibration of woven e-glass fibre and epoxy matrix composite plate in fix free boundary
conditions. the specimen is manufactured by hand layup technique. the author studied the effect
of factors such as number of e-glass fibre layers and aspect ratio of reinforcement and matrix
material by weight. the research focused on fix-free boundary conditions same as that of
cantilever objects boundary conditions. the percentage of fibre and matrix was 1:1 in weight
for first specimen. the specimen was varied by varying the aspect ratio from 1:1 to 1:1.5 to 1:2.
Also the number of layers were varied from 10, 20, 30 layers. the author concluded that the
increase in aspect ratio increases the natural frequency, increase in number of layers also led
to increase in natural frequency.
5. G.D SHRIGANDHI
investigated the vibrational behaviour of a sandwich panel with a core of aluminium
honeycomb structure. the free vibration of composite sandwich panel was studied. the effect of
sandwich design parameters such as face thickness, core thickness and pitch on the vibration
responses were determined. mode shapes and corresponding natural frequencies are studied for
simply supported as well as cantilever conditions. they carried out experimental modal analysis
as well as computational modal analysis on the sandwich panel. modal analysis of simply
supported aluminium core and same dimension equivalent face plate showed that sandwich
plate has .14 times higher fundamental frequency than same equivalent face plate. The increase
in the frequency was due to increase in flexural stiffness of the plate. increase in thickness of
core increases natural frequency of higher modes. also, it was noted that increase in density of
the core decreases the natural frequency of the sandwich plate.
6. CAVALLO ET AL.
investigated the effects of composite materials and non-structural masses on the dynamic
behaviour of space structure components and whole space vehicle. a refined one dimensional
was used in the analysis and the effect of fuel masses as a non-structural mass were considered.
static and free vibration analysis of space structural components and complete space structures
were performed. for assessment, the static and dynamic response of an eight-layer composite
beam structure was investigated. the author analysed different composite launcher
configurations like empty composite launcher and full composite launcher. the author
concluded that the Carrera unified formulated models were very promising in the analysis of
complex reinforced space structures. Composite materials and non-structural masses can be
included by using the refined one-dimensional model. it was also noted that composite
materials increase frequencies when an appropriate layout of the fibres is used.
7. PATEL ET AL.
studied various methods of modelling and analysis of a composite cantilever beam with focus
on modal parameter. the author listed various vibration measurement techniques along with a
detailed yet brief description of the same. further the author explained modal analysis technique
used to determine modal parameters of a vibrating body. in depth study was carried out of
experimental modal analysis along with figures to illustrate the process. the author also
explained a case study of modal analysis of a composite slender beam in which the result of
numerical, analytical as well as experimental values were compared. the author concluded that
the modal analysis was an effective tool to determine the dynamic characteristic of composites
which are of heterogenous nature.
