Abstract: | An efficient nondestructive evaluation procedure is proposed for inversely determining material constants of composite laminates using dynamic response at one point on the plate surface. Material constants of composite laminates are determined by minimizing the difference between the measured dynamic response of the actual plate and the computed response of the plate with assumed material properties. For robust and efficient function minimization, a real parameter-coded microgenetic algorithm (real-GA) is proposed on the basis of the existing binary coded uniform microgenetic algorithm (uniform GA). Four different crossover operators are constructed for the real-GA. Performances of the present real-GA and the existing uniform GA are studied using several typical benchmark test functions and an order-3 deceptive function. The present real-GA is then implemented as the inverse solver in the minimization process of material characterization. From hundreds of tests conducted on the benchmark functions, the order-3 deceptive function, and the material characterization problems, it is found that the real-GA is two to five times faster in converging to the global optimum compared with the uniform GA. Numerical examples for material characterization of composite laminates have demonstrated the robustness, efficiency, and accuracy of the proposed procedure. |
