Abstract
The focus of this paper is on continuing the experimental/modeling investigation of the Brake-Reuß beam which was initiated a year ago as part of the NOMAD program at Sandia National Labs. The ultimate goal of the overall effort is to (1) determine the parameters of joint models, in particular the Iwan model in its modal form, from well delineated tests and (2) extend this approach to identify statistical distributions of the model parameters to account for joint uncertainty. The present effort focused on free response of the beam resulting from an impact test. The use of this data in conjunction with the Hilbert transform is shown to provide a straightforward framework for the identification of the joint model parameters at the contrary of the forced response data used earlier. The resulting frequency and damping vs. amplitude curves are particularly conducive to a Iwan-type modeling which is demonstrated. The curves also show the effect of the bolt torque on the joint behavior, i.e.,increase in natural frequency, linear limit, and macroslip threshold. Macroslip is shown to have occurred in some of the tests and it is concluded from ensuing testing that this event changed the nature of the jointed beams. Specifically, the linear natural frequency (observed under very low level impact test) shifted permanently by 20 Hz and, in one case, the linear natural frequency was observed to decrease with increasing bolt torque level in opposition to other beams and physical expectations. An analysis of the joint surface strongly suggest that a significant plastic zone developed during the macroslip phase which induced the above unusual behaviors.
