FLAX FIBRE COMPOSITE FOR VIBRATION DAMPING DESIGN
Résumé
Natural fibres, especially flax, are already known for their damping properties due to their specific structure. ESTACA and the LAUM laboratory compared the behaviour of flax and glass fibres embedded in a thermoplastic acrylic resin for infusion moulding.
In recent times, the transport industry has focused on lightweight materials with good mechanical properties and lower environmental impact. Glass fibre-reinforced composites have good mechanical properties and are widely used in many application areas. However, the manufacture of glass fibres and their end-of-life disposal remain a major environmental problem. Natural fibres have a lower environmental impact and offer high specific mechanical properties as well as sound absorption and vibration damping properties. Vibration and damping issues have become increasingly important over the past decades since vibrations are undesirable in structures that need to combine performance, durability, and noise reduction. One of the alternative solutions to reduce vibration disturbances is to use natural fibres for the reinforcement of composite structures.
