Uncertainties in structural dynamics for composite sandwich panels
Abstract
This paper concerns uncertainties in structural dynamics for composite sandwich panels constituted of two thin carbon-resin skins and one high stiffness closed-cell foam core. Each skin is constituted of two unidirectional plies [60/-60]. Such light composite sandwich panels, manufactured with a same process, generally present a significant dispersion for their Frequency Response Functions (FRF) in the Low-Frequency (LF) and Medium-Frequency (MF) ranges. The objectives of this paper are (1) to study the dispersion due to the process by using experiments (2) to develop a predictive mean mechanical model based on the use of the laminated composite thin plate theory in dynamics and (3) to use a nonparametric probabilistic approach for data and model uncertainties to improve the predictability of the mean model in the MF dynamics.
