Dynamic characterization of hybrid composite material of rotor-bearing support system

Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic characterization of hybrid composite material of carbon-epoxy sandwiched by steel is presented from the rotor-bearing system perspective. The tensile and flexural strengths of the hybrid material are investigated followed by the detailed damping estimation using modal testing in cantilever mode and dynamic mechanical analysis in double cantilever mode. The experimental characterization results obtained in this work have fundamentally ascertained the mechanical and dynamic behavior of hybrid composite material for the intended application. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
