This dataset contains all experimental data that is shown within the paper "Anisotropic Damping and Stiffness of laminated steel parts using adhesive bonding - an empirical influence study". Bending beams manufactured by Layer Laminated Manufacturing (LLM) were investigated in order to analyze the influence of different manufacturing parameters on the resulting part properties. For each investigated parameter combination, three redundant specimens are manufactured and examined. Experimental modal analysis (EMA) and static bending test are used as examination methods in order to obtain the eigenfrequencies, the modal dampings and the bending stiffness of the beams.

The data is summarized within the file data.xlsx, which contains the following spreadsheets:

EMA: Eigenfrequencies and modal dampings of the first three eigenmodes for all investigated specimens, identified by experimental modal analysis.

EMA - mean: Mean eigenfrequencies and modal dampings of the first three eigenmodes for all investigated parameter combinations, averaged over three redundant specimens that were manufactured for each parameter combination

bending: Displacements for three different applied weights (5, 10, 15 kg) and the resulting bending stiffness for each specimen

bending - mean: Mean displacements for the three different weights and the resulting bending stiffness for each parameter combination.

ratios normal-parallel: As a anisotropy measure, all part properties normal and parallel to the slicing direction are set in relation to each other.

parameter combinations: Nomenclature for the parameter combinations used within the study
