Abstract

With the development of industry, people pay more and more attention to the hazards of vibration and noise in various fields. Besides adopting various vibration-reduction technologies, the demand for high-performance damping materials is also increasing to reduce vibration and noise. Among them, damping composites combine the advantages of different damping materials and superimpose multiple mechanisms to integrate their functions and structures, obtaining damping materials with excellent comprehensive performance. Herein, a novel damping composite was prepared using the sintering evaporation method and vacuum infiltration. This composite adopts the porous CuAlMn shape memory alloy as the skeleton, whose pores are filled with a composite composed of carbon nanotubes loaded with HfO₂ particles and a viscoelastic polymer. Uniaxial compression test at room temperature and dynamic mechanical analysis were carried out on composite samples. The results show that when porosity of the skeleton is 80% and the mass fraction of carbon nanotubes is 1%, the compressive yield strength and elastic modulus of the composite are 27 MPa and 1040 MPa, respectively, and its density is only 2.11 g/cm³. Its loss factor is > 0.055 in the range of 0.1-200 Hz and 20-100^oC, and its maximum value can reach 0.102. The elastic modulus, compressive yield strength, and loss factor of this composite increased by 1, 2, and 1.5 times, respectively, compared to those of the CuAlMn skeleton with same porosity. A three-phase model was utilized to analyze the damping mechanism of composite samples. The calculation results show that the primary damping mechanism of the proposed novel composite is interface damping.

Key words: damping composite porous CuAlMn shape memory alloy HfO₂ carbon nanotube polymer interface damping
