Vibration behavior of cracked ceramic reinforced aluminum composite fixed beams
Abdellatif Selmi
Abstract
The present paper deals with the dynamic analysis of cracked ceramic-reinforced aluminum composite fixed beams
by using a method based on changes in modal strain energy. Mechanical characteristics of composite materials of the beams are
predicted through Mori-Tanaka micromechanical scheme. A Comparative study and numerical simulations involve various
parameters; ceramic volume fraction, reinforcement aspect ratio, ratio of the reinforcement Young
