RESUMO

In this work is presented a study on the elastic characterization of composite materials, and it is divided in two parts. In the first part is proposed the application of regressive discrete Fourier series (RDFS) to smooth mode shapes used as input data in a direct and no-iteractive identification method of the bending elastic stiffness constants already available in the literature, and whose solution is obtained by virtual fields method. It is a very noise sensitive method because it requires the computation of second-order derivatives. To assess the accuracy of the method, noise levels were numerically created to an an isotropic plate, and experimentally, were used an isotropic steel plate and an orthotropic carbon/epoxy plate. In the second part of the work, a method also based in the virtual fields method to identify the extensional elastic stiffness constants is proposed. The solution is obtained from the differential equations that govern the free-free in-plane vibration of thin symetric anisotropic plates. Two groups of virtual fields are proposed, one with first order and another with second order functions, to be used together with many in-plane mode shape combinations and their respective natural frequencies. The accuracy of this proposed identification method was carried out only numerically by using laminates having differents anisotropy levels. In general, the obtained results from the two parts of this work were very satisfactory
