Analytical modeling of vibrations in a damaged beam using Green-Volterra formalism
Résumé
Structural Health Monitoring of aeronautic composite structures
through Lamb waves can advantageously exploit the fact that Lamb wave
damage interaction is nonlinear. However, one di culty in this context is to
be able to distinguish between nonlinearities due to the propagation (i.e. ma-
terial or geometrical nonlinearities) and those due to the damage itself that are
of main interest here. This work proposes to use the Green-Volterra formal-
ism to build up a model for Lamb Wave propagation and damage interaction
that is complex enough to represent both types of nonlinearities, and simple
enough to be used for simulation and estimation purposes. This approach is
presented for the low frequency S0 mode nonlinear propagation in a dam-
aged beam. An analytical model of the nonlinear wave propagation is rst
derived, where the damage is represented with a polynomial sti ness char-
acteristic acting via boundary conditions. This model is then used to derive
the Green-Volterra series describing the nonlinear input-output relationship
of the system. A modal decomposition of the Green-Volterra series is also pro-
vided. Simulations are presented, and the proposed approach is successfully
compared to state-of-the-art methods based on nite-elements models.
