INVESTIGATION OF SOUND ABSORPTION AND VIBRATION DAMPING PROPERTIES OF FLAX FIBRE COMPOSITES

Le Quan Ngoc Tran (Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology) Kede Huang (National University of Singapore) Abhishek Vishwanath Rammohan (National University of Singapore) Wern Sze Teo (Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology) Heow Pueh Lee (National University of Singapore)

 

Sound absorption, sound transmission and vibration damping behaviour of flax fibre composites were investigated. The study showed the effects of fibre loading, fibre orientation and thickness on the sound and vibration properties of the composite.

MECHANICAL AND ACOUSTIC BEHAVIOUR OF POROSITY CONTROLLED BIOCOMPOSITE

Justin Merotte (EcoTechnilin SAS) Antoine Le Duigou (LIMATB-UBS) Alain Bourmaud (LIMATB-UBS) Karim Behlouli (EcoTechnilin SAS) Christophe Baley (LIMATB-UBS)

 

This paper studies the influence of a large range of porosity contents on the microstructure of biocomposites made from flax/PP nonwovens and correlates it to acoustic and tensile properties.

MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS OF FIBRE/MATRIX INTERFACE IN HEMP/EPOXY COMPOSITES BY DIGITAL IMAGE CORRELATION

Amélie Perrier (Institute Pprime) Fabienne Touchard (P' Institute) Laurence Chocinski-Arnault (Institute Pprime) David Mellier (Institute Pprime)

 

This work concentrates on strain field measurements around a hemp yarn in eco-composites under tensile loading by using DIC method. The local constitutive behaviours of the different constituents of the specimens could be approached by such analysis.

MICROSTRUCTURE, QUANTIFICATION AND CONTROL OF DISLOCATIONS IN BAST-TYPE PLANT FIBRES

Bo Madsen (Technical University of Denmark) Catherine L. Lester (Technical University of Denmark) Ulrich A. Mortensen (Technical University of Denmark) Mustafa Aslan (Karadeniz Technical University) Hans Lilholt (Technical University of Denmark)

 

Dislocations in plant fibres are investigated by using microscope and image analysis techniques. Straining of fibres, together with wetting, is applied to change the dislocation content. The effect is evaluated by tensile testing of fibres.
