Cement-Based Composite with Carbon Nanotubes Reinforcement Tailored for Structural Damping

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cement-based composites filled with some multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) (MWNT/CC) were fabricated using surfactant enwrapping, ultrasonic treatment, and subsequently intensive shear mixing. The damping capacities of the cured nanocomposites were characterized with forced vibration testing and half-power bandwidth identification method. Results show that, the MWNTs can greatly enhance the structural damping capacity of the MWNT/CC beam with balanced strength reinforcement. There exists 44.5%, 10% increase in the damping ratio, and fundamental frequency of the MWNT/CC with 1.0 wt% MWNTs addition, along with strength reinforcement, as compared to the reference, respectively.
