free vibration response of a debonded curved sandwich beam.
Although the linear pattern for the core's displacement components
is suitable for the free vibration analysis of an undamaged
curved beam, it will be shown that it does not provide accurate
results for a debonded beam. Therefore, a quadratic pattern is
proposed for the core's displacement, velocity and acceleration
components. The facesheets are modeled as the EulereBernoulli
beams likewise what proposed by Frostig (1999). The results are
validated by ANSYS Workbench simulation and presented for
different curvature angles, boundary conditions, debond lengths
and debond positions.
