Abstract
Knowing the mechanical properties of fibrous composite materials used in aeronautical industry from the design phase is a primary objective for designers. There are many methods for determining them, but they are laborious and require a long calculation time. And some of the methods are very approximate, giving only upper and lower bounds for these values. Experimental measurements also consume time and others resources. A method for sufficiently accurate and quickly obtained estimation of the engineering constants of the homogenized material is presented in the work. FEM is used to determine the natural frequencies of a standard bar, for which there are sufficiently precise classical methods for expressing these constants according to the properties of the homogenized material. In this way, these sought constants can be determined. In the work, Young's modulus will be determined for such a material, using the relationships that provide the proper pulsations for the longitudinal vibrations. Within the adopted model, transverse and torsional vibrations will be eliminated by blocking the nodes on the surface of the bars. In this way, more longitudinal self-pulsations can be obtained, so the precision in calculating the Young's modulus will increase.
