GRAMATICMixed Numerical-Experimental Vibration Analysis for Identification of Stiffness and Damping Properties of Layered and Graded Materials About the projectThis project is funded by the Flemish government through the IWT (Flemish
institute for the promotion of the scientific and technological research in
industry (www.iwt.be)). It is part of the
STWW research program (STWW = strategic technologies for welfare and
well-being), section technology and economy. Abstract and goalsThe GRAMATIC project aims at developing procedures to measure the elastic properties of layered materials. A mixed numerical-experimental approach is taken. The experimental input is obtained from vibration tests, such as impulse excitation tests (I.E.T). The experimental vibration frequencies depend on the elastic properties of all layers of the multilayer material. In a Finite-Element model of the tested sample, the elastic properties are considered as variables, which are optimised so as to obtain a best fit between the numerically predicted resonance frequencies and the experimental ones.
