Damping in Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials starts with an introduction to the basic concepts of damping in composite materials. Methods of modeling damping are then covered, along with recent developments in measuring techniques, both local, like polar scanning and global techniques like the Resonalyser method (based on measuring modal damping ratios of composite material plates). The effect of other factors, such as stress, strain-level, stiffness and frequency that need to be considered when determining damping behavior in composite materials are also discussed in detail. Other chapters present a parametric study of a two-phase composite material using different micromechanical models such as Unified micromechanics, and Hashin and Eshelby's to predict elastic moduli and loss factors. A bridging model that incorporates the effect of fiber packaging factors is then compared to FEM results. Final sections cover the effect of the interphase on the mechanical properties of the composite, present a nonlinear model for the prediction of damping in viscoelastic materials, and provide practical examples of damping and principles of vibration control.
Dr. Pramod Kumar attained his Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Jalandhar. He has been working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NIT Jalandhar, Punjab, India for the last 25 years. He has published several papers and most of these have been based on composite materials. He has guided more than 10 PhDs and several M.Tech students. His research areas include FEM, composites, fracture mechanics, viscoelasticity, machine design, and Matlab. S.P. Singh is Professor Emeritus, Department of Chemistry, Kurukshetra University, Haryana, India. He obtained a PhD in 1964 from University of Lucknow and joined Kurukshetra University in 1965. Singh was also associated with the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, as a Post-Doctoral Fellow, Senior Fulbright Scholar, and Visiting Research Professor. Singh has worked in diverse areas of organic chemistry, including reaction mechanisms, organic photochemistry, mass spectrometry, and primarily, the structural reinvestigation of heterocyclylpyrazoles. He has published more than 200 research papers and reviews in professional journals. For his services in chemistry, he has received the Acharya P. C. Ray Memorial Medal and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Indian Chemical Society. He was awarded New Millennium Plaque of Honour at the inaugural function of the Indian Science Congress in 2014. Dr. Sumit Sharma is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Dr. BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jalandhar, Punjab. Before joining this institute, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Lovely Professional University, Phagwara. He completed his Ph.D. in Composite Materials at NIT Jalandhar in 2015. He did his M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Gold Medalist), also at NIT Jalandhar in 2010. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering (with honors) from Kurukshetra University in 2007.
