Abstract

This chapter delves into the computational analysis of the dynamic characteristics of 3D printed biocomposite sandwich beams with periodic cores. The study focuses on the use of polylactic acid (PLA) matrix and flax fiber reinforcement, known for their eco-friendliness and good mechanical properties. The research investigates the vibration attenuation properties of these beams, particularly the effect of incorporating a periodic core with viscoelastic material (VEM) elements. The study compares the vibrational responses of three beams: a solid PLA/flax fiber beam and two sandwich beams with different material ratios in their periodic cores. The results show that the periodic core effectively attenuates vibrations within specific frequency ranges, known as band-gaps. The location and bandwidth of these band-gaps can be modified by altering the material ratio within the periodic core cells. This study highlights the potential for designing biocomposite structures with customizable vibration attenuation performance, which could be particularly useful in industries such as transportation, where reducing vibrations and improving passenger comfort are key concerns.
