Abstract Polymers composite are modeled as fiber, interphase and matrix. Interphase properties are very crucial for bonding between fiber and matrix. Interphase can be strong and weak depending upon its properties. Damping of composite material depends on interphase properties and required damping can be obtained by varying the properties of interphase. In this paper three phase mathematical model has been proposed for the evaluation of damping incorporating the effect of fiber packing. Effect of interphase has been analysed for the longitudinal loss factor, transverse loss factor, transverse shear loss factor and longitudinal shear loss factor. Results obtained by modeling fiber reinforced… More >
