Abstract:
This study concentrates on analytical modelling and simulation of multiple delamination for a
composite beam. A detailed simulation of single, double and triple delamination has been studied
by varying delamination ratio and location together with harmonic response of the beam. The
works done by other researchers have been studied and presented. Matlab script file used to detect
mode shapes and natural frequencies of the composite beam. The Euller-Bernulli beam is
presented as beam modeling technique for analytical modeling of normal and delaminated
cantilever beam depending on previous models. The simulation software used in this research is
Ansys mechanical apdl. The finding of this study shows that delamination can affect the natural
frequencies and mode shapes of composite beam.
