Method To Determine the Elastic Constants of Polymeric Fibers Reinforced Composite Using Finite Element Vibration Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, it is proposed a systematic presentation of the known methods for determining the elastic constants of a composite material using the vibration response. For a series of bodies with a simple shape, the value of the eigenfrequencies for different boundary conditions can be calculated with the standard formula (for example for beams, plates, or cylinders). These values depend on the elastic constants of the materials through simple formulas. So, if we know the eigenfrequencies for a certain particular shape of bodies made of a certain material, the elastic constants (or some of them) can be easily determined. The most accurate methods to determine these values of eigenfrequencies are, obviously, experimental methods. However, these methods are generally expensive in terms of time and resources. As a result, especially if we are in the design phase, it is very advantageous if we can determine these values from the calculations. For this, the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used in the paper. Cases are presented in which these values can be calculated with relative ease and therefore the values of the elastic constants can be obtained with less effort.

Journal author rights
In order for Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration to publish and disseminate research articles, we need publishing rights. This is determined by a publishing agreement between the author and Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration. This agreement deals with the transfer or license of the copyright to Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration and authors retain significant rights to use and share their own published articles. Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration supports the need for authors to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research and these rights, in Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration proprietary are defined below:
For subscription articles:
Authors transfer copyright to the publisher as part of a journal publishing agreement, but have the right to: Share their article for personal use (manuscript version); retain patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights (including research data); proper attribution and credit for the published work.
For open access articles:
Authors sign an exclusive license agreement, where authors have copyright but license exclusive rights in their article to the publisher. In this case authors have the right to: share their article in the same ways permitted to third parties under the relevant user license; retain patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights (including research data); proper attribution and credit for the published work.
Rights granted to Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration
For both subscription and open access articles, published in proprietary titles, Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration is granted the following rights:
- The exclusive right to publish and distribute an article, and to grant rights to others, including for commercial purposes;
