  By 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 …
