Experimental Study on Damping Properties of Fiber Reinforced Composites with Resin Matrices

Article Preview

Abstract:

The damping properties of glass and carbon fiber reinforced composites with epoxy and unsaturated polyester resin matrices were studied experimentally in this paper. It is found that temperature and frequency have significant effects on damping properties of these fiber reinforced resin composites. In the frequency range of 0Hz~30Hz, the damping factors of pure resin materials are higher than those of fiber reinforced resin composites. In the temperature range of -300C~500C, the epoxy resin composite shows the lower damping factors at about 200C, and the damping factors of unsaturated polyester resin composites keep increasing with the increase of temperature. Additionally, the storage modulus of the fiber reinforced resin composites decreases slowly with increasing temperature before the curing temperature is reached and it increases slowly with the increase of frequency.
