The Damping Study for Dammar Composites Reinforced with Natural Fibers

Abstract:

In this paper we have studied the vibration damping for composite bars made by dammar based natural resin, the reinforcement being made by flax, cotton, silk and hemp fibers. There were made rectangular section samples (5x10 mm) with 220 mm length. The bars were clamped, the free length being 100 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm, 160 mm and 180 mm. For each bar, the free vibrations made by an initial deformation, obtained by inserting an external force in the free end, were recorded. In each case, the measured vibration was under-damped.
