Investigation of vibrational characteristics of composite beams with fluid–structure interaction

The study examined the effect of fluid–structure interaction on global dynamic properties such as vibrational frequency, mode shape, modal curvature, as well as free vibrational responses along E-glass composite, carbon composite, and aluminum beams, respectively. The digital image correlation technique was used to measure the free vibrational responses along the beams in air and water, respectively. The vibration submerged in water exhibited...
