Abstract

The paper is devoted to the computer simulation of polymer composite beams dynamic behavior. The use opportunity of one-dimensional beam models for the design of composite elements instead of three-dimensional ones is discussed. The tree-dimensional modeling is implemented using the finite-element software SIMULIA Abaqus considering the orthotropic properties of the composite material. For the one-dimensional modeling two hypothesis of the internal friction – local and nonlocal – are applied and compared. The Kelvin-Voigt hypothesis is used as a local damping model. The nonlocal model is based on the nonlocal mechanics principals and obtained using the Galerkin method. The example glass fiber reinforced plastic beam with the fixed ends is considered under an instantly applied load. The parameters of the nonlocal damping model are defined using the least squares method. The flexibility of the nonlocal damping model is shown and the use opportunity of one-dimensional beam models for the design of composite elements is justified.
