Design and Manufacturing Concepts of Nanoparticle-reinforced Aerospace Materials

摘要

Nanopatticle-based vibration damping shows the effect that molecule-level mechanism can have on the damping and that nanoparticles/fibres/tubes-reinforced composite materials can provide enhanced strength and vibration damping properties over the broader operational conditions. It is particularly worth noting that carbon nanotubes can act as a simple nanoscale spring. The mechanisms involved in such materials need to be understood and the relevance to damping identified. The focus in this paper is directed toward the development of the next generation of vibration damping systems, providing a road map to manufacturing technology and design solutions. The research work concentrates on an investigation related to nanoparticle-reinforced materials extensive dynamic characterization and modelling of their fundamental phenomena that control relationships between design and damping properties across the length scales.
