Vibration and Damping Behavior of Biocomposites

<p>Fiber-reinforced polymer composites exhibit better damping characteristics than conventional metals due to the viscoelastic nature of the polymers. There has been a growing interest among research communities and industries in the use of natural fibers as reinforcements in structural and semi-structural applications given their environmental advantages. Knowledge of the vibration and damping behavior of biocomposites is essential for engineers and scientists who work in the field of composite materials. <i>Vibration and Damping Behavior of Biocomposites</i> brings together the latest research developments in vibration and viscoelastic behavior of composites filled with different natural fibers. </p><p>Features:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Reviews the effect of various types of reinforcements on free vibration behavior</li> <p> </p> <li>Emphasizes aging effects influence of compatibilizers and hybrid fiber reinforcement</li> <p> </p> <li>Explores the influence of resin type on viscoelastic properties</li> <p> </p> <li>Covers the use of computational modeling to analyze dynamic behavior and viscoelastic properties</li> <p> </p> <li>Discusses viscoelastic damping characterization through dynamic mechanical analysis.</li> </ul><p>This compilation will greatly benefit academics researchers advanced students and practicing engineers in materials and mechanical engineering and related fields who work with biocomposites.</p><p>Editors</p><p>Dr. Senthil Muthu Kumar Thiagamani Kalasalinagam Academy of Research and Education (KARE) India</p><p>Dr. Md Enamul Hoque Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) Bangladesh</p><p>Dr. Senthilkumar Krishnasamy King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok KMUTNB Thailand</p><p>Dr. Chandrasekar Muthukumar Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science (HITS) India</p><p>Dr. Suchart Siengchin King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok KMUTNB Thailand</p>
