Abstract


The vibration attenuation and damping characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced composite laminates with different thicknesses were investigated by hammering experiments under free boundary constraints in different directions. The dynamic signal testing and analysis system is applied to collect and analyze the vibration signals of the composite specimens, and combine the self-spectrum analysis and logarithmic decay method to identify the fundamental frequencies of different specimens and calculate the damping ratios of different directions of the specimens. The results showed that the overall stiffness of the specimen increased with the increase of the specimen thickness, and when the thickness of the sample increases from 24mm to 32mm, the fundamental frequency increases by 35.1%, the vibration showed the same vibration attenuation and energy dissipation characteristics in the 0° and 90° directions of the specimen, compared with the specimen in the 45° direction, which was less likely to be excited and had poorer vibration attenuation ability, while the upper and lower surfaces of the same specimen showed slightly different attenuation characteristics to the vibration, the maximum difference of damping capacity between top and bottom surfaces of CFRP plates is about 70%.
