    • Damping measurements on a carbon fibre reinforced laminate 

      Montalvao, D.; Ribeiro, A. M. R.; Maia, N. M. M.; Duarte Silva, J.; Claudio, R. A. (KATHOLIEKE UNIV LEUVEN, DEPT WERKTUIGKUNDE, 2006)
      By performing force-displacement tests in a universal testing machine it is possible to accurately measure the damping of a material. By providing accurate estimates of the damping for a set of given conditions, it should ...

    • Experimental Assessment of a Modal-Based Multi-Parameter Method for Locating Damage in Composite Laminates 

      Montalvao, D.; Ribeiro, A. M. R.; Duarte-Silva, J. A. B. (2011-11)
      The low specific weight of composite materials, together with their excellent mechanical properties, make them suitable to be widely used in many modern engineering structures. However, composite materials are quite sensitive ...

    • A method for the localization of damage in a CFRP plate using damping 

      Montalvao, D.; Ribeiro, A. M. R.; Duarte-Silva, J. (2009-08)
      In the past 25 years, the scientific and industrial communities have made great efforts on the fields of damage detection and structural health monitoring (SHM). However. no single approach has proven appropriate for all ...

    • On the estimation of rotational frequency response functions 

      Montalvao, D.; Ribeiro, A. M. R.; Maia, N. M. M.; Silva, J. M. M. (KATHOLIEKE UNIV LEUVEN, DEPT WERKTUIGKUNDE, 2005)
      Rotational receptances can perform an important role when predicting the dynamic behaviour both in theoretical and experimental models, especially when a modification includes a rotational inertia or a rotational stiffness. ...
