Let Ruby do the work :-)

   hashes = Array.new(elapsedtime.length-1) { {:bevel => 'bevel1',
                                               :value => 5 } }

That gives you an array of the right length, where each element is
initialized by running the code block, which gives you a new hash each
time.
