COMPOSITE LAMINATE HAVING A DAMPING INTERLAYER

Composite laminates used in structural applications include an interlayer of soft material that provides damping action to reduce noise and vibration. The interlayer may comprise a viscoelastic material which deforms under stress caused by shock, noise or vibration. A reinforcement may be embedded i...

Zusammenfassung:Composite laminates used in structural applications include an interlayer of soft material that provides damping action to reduce noise and vibration. The interlayer may comprise a viscoelastic material which deforms under stress caused by shock, noise or vibration. A reinforcement may be embedded in the viscoelastic material to maintain the mechanical strength and stiffness of the laminate. The reinforcement may include individual or woven fibers or ridged tubes that provide the interlayer with stiffness.
