... of the inclusion of natural fiber, substantial damping could be achieved due to the development of shear as well as extensional strains in the viscoelastic material. Finite element analysis of a substrate beam combined with CLD treatment is used to investigate the corresponding improvement in damping...

... ] have explored the use of animal fibers in the field of composites. The fibers derived from different parts of plants have also been used as reinforcement in polymer composites, and show the most promising results. Depending upon the properties of the developed natural fiber composites, the researchers...
