This study investigates the effectiveness of the combination of global (natural frequency) and local (curvature mode shape) vibration characteristics of a glass fibre reinforced plastic sandwich beam-like structure when introduced to artificial neural networks for severity and location prediction of various damage with different extent at different locations. A finite element modelling and analysis tool is used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of both intact and damaged cantilever sandwich structures and the sensitivity analyses aiming at finding the necessary features are performed. Finally, predictions are made for the damage quantification and localisation via designed supervised feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural networks.

Vibration-based damage identification in beam-like composite laminates by using artificial neural networks Şahin, Melin (SAGE Publications, 2003-01-01) This paper investigates the effectiveness of the combination of global (changes in natural frequencies) and local (curvature mode shapes) vibration-based analysis data as input for artificial neural networks (ANNs) for location and severity prediction of damage in fibre-reinforced plastic laminates. A finite element analysis tool has been used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of intact and damaged cantilever composite beams for the first three natural modes. Different damage scenarios have been introdu...
Hygrothermal fracture analysis of fibrous composites with variable fiber spacing using JK-integral Saeidi, Farid; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) In this study, a Jk-integral based computational method will be developed to conduct fracture analysis of fibrous composite laminates that possess variable fiber spacing. This study will be carried out for the fibrous composites exposed to not only thermal but also hygroscopic boundary condition, which results hygrothermal load. Formulation of the Jk-integral will be carried out by using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic hygrothermoelasticity. One of the most important challenges of this study...
Nondestructive flexible pavement evaluation using ILLI-PAVE based artificial neural network models Pekcan, Onur; Thompson, M.R. (2006-12-28) Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used in this paper to develop an improved and more accurate approach for backcalculating pavement layer moduli from Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) test data collected in the field. For this purpose, critical pavement responses were computed by the ILLI-PAVE finite element program widely used and proven to be effective for the analysis of flexible pavement systems with the considerations of the nonlinear aggregate base and subgrade soil behavior. The ANN models were...
Cyclic behaviour of precast beam-to-column connections: An experimental and numerical investigation Torra-Bilal, Ines; Mahamid, Mustafa; Baran, Eray (2022-01-01) The main objective of this study is to examine the behavior of hybrid beam-column connections with numerous detailing methods to be incorporated in precast moment resisting frames under simulate reversed cyclic loading, which will lead to better understanding of their performance and safer seismic applications. To accomplish the research objectives, an integrated experimental and numerical study was conducted. The experimental part consisted of reversed cyclic loading of precast concrete beam-column specime...
Active neuro-adaptive vibration suppression of a smart beam Akin, Onur; Şahin, Melin (2017-12-01) In this research, an active vibration suppression of a smart beam having piezoelectric sensor and actuators is investigated by designing separate controllers comprising a linear quadratic regulator and a neural network. Firstly, design of a smart beam which consists of a cantilever aluminum beam with surface bonded piezoelectric patches and a designed mechanism having a micro servomotor with a mass attached arm for obtaining variations in the frequency response function are presented. Secondly, the frequenc...
