Natural Frequency Analysis of Polymer CompositesBy Shashank S. Patokar, Bhagyashri P. Thakur, Sairaj S. Gujar, Maya M. Charde, Nilesh B. Totla, Amol J. Asalekar
Abstract: Polymer composite materials are increasingly utilized in vibration-sensitive engineering applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, design flexibility, and tailorable dynamic properties. Among these properties, natural frequency plays a crucial role in determining structural stability, resonance avoidance, and dynamic performance. This review presents a comprehensive synthesis of recent research on the natural frequency characteristics of polymer composite structures, with emphasis on material properties, structural configurations, boundary conditions, damage effects, environmental …

Noise and Vibration Reduction Using Sustainable Polymer Nanocomposite Materials: A ReviewBy Aditya Gujar, Manas Kale, Vaibhav Gobbur, Nilesh B. Totla, Maya M. Charde, Amol J. Asalekar
Abstract: Noise pollution and structural vibration represent critical challenges in modern engineering systems, affecting human health, operational efficiency, and equipment durability. This review examines the application of sustainable polymer nanocomposite materials for simultaneous noise and vibration reduction across diverse engineering domains. The fundamental relationship between structural vibration and noise generation is established, followed by a comprehensive analysis of sound absorption and damping mechanisms in nanoparticle-reinforced polymer systems. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), …
