Abstract

This chapter describes a theoretical and experimental study of the effects of both applied and induced combined shear and direct loads on the damping of unidirectionally reinforced FRPs.

A theoretical model based on the energy being dissipated in the resin only is derived using equivalent strain analyses previously developed for isotropic materials. The model was applied to two different combined loading situations and predictions compared with experimental results.

Work carried out by author at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, UK.
