The project/research was financed within the framework of the Lublin University of
Technology—Regional Excellence Initiative project, funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and
Higher Education (contract no. 030/RID/2018/19).
In this study, we discuss the effects of the diameter and position of a hole on the dynamic response of a thin-walled cantilever beam made of carbon-epoxy laminate. Eigen-frequencies and corresponding global and local eigen-modes were considered, where deformations of the beam wall were dominant, without significant deformation of the beam axis. The study was focused on the circumferentially uniform stiffness (CUS) beam configuration. The laminate layers were arranged as [90/15(3)/90/15(3)/90]T. The finite element method was employed for numerical tests, using the Abaqus software package. Moreover, a few numerical results of the structure’s behaviour, with and without a hole, were verified experimentally. The experimental eigen-frequencies and the corresponding modes were obtained using an experimental modal analysis, comprising the LMS system with modal hammer. We found that the size and location of the hole affected the eigen-frequencies and corresponding modes. Furthermore, even a small hole in a beam could significantly change the shape of its local modes. The numerical and experimental results were observed to have high qualitative compliance.
