Assembly Design Concepts and Methods of Tailoring of CNT Orientation and Dispertion for Damping/Dynamic Properties of Nanoparticle-Reinforced Multifunctional Materials

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, the concepts of nanotechnology-based fan blade have been introduced and CNT-reinforced hollow micro-balloon-based syntactic foams/composites and damping coatings have been applied so as to develop the next generation aerospace components. The focus in this paper is directed toward the development of the next generation of vibration damping systems, providing a road map to manufacturing technology and design solutions.
