Amplitude-dependent damping characteristics of all-composite sandwich plates with a foam-filled hexagon honeycomb core

Hui Li et al.

Summary: The amplitude-dependent damping characteristics of all-composite sandwich (ACS) plates with a hexagon honeycomb core (HHC) filled by soft foam (SF) are investigated. The solutions of nonlinear fundamental frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios of HHC-SF-ACS plates are obtained theoretically. It is found that increasing the Young's or shear moduli of foam material and the filling ratio of SF can improve the damping property of the composite plates significantly.
