Abstract
A combined numerical/experimental method for the
identification of six: elastic material moduli of generally
thick composite plates is proposed in this paper. This
technique is used in composite plates made of different
materials (i.e. hybrid plates) and may be used in specimens
with general stacking sequences. It makes use of
experimental plate response data. corresponding numerical
predictions and optimisation techniques. The plate response
is a set of natural frequencies of flexural vibration. The
numerical model is based on the finite element method using
a higher order displacement field. The model is applied to
the identification of the elastic moduli of the plate specimen
through optimisation techniques, using analytical
sensitivities. The validity, efficiency and potentiality of the
proposed technique is discussed through test cases.
