Abstract
Contemplating the global concern towards the environment, the current research is intended for finding out an effective way for curbing of the undesired industrial–agro residual waste which poses a serious threat to human and environment. Extensive research is carried out in developing materials systems with elevated energy dissipation. The current study investigates the damping characteristics of aluminium reinforced with bamboo leaf ash (BLA) metal matrix composites varying the reinforcement weight percentage. The Al-BLA composites are synthesized by engaging a classic stir casting approach. The damping characteristics of the stir cast Al-BLA composites are investigated at three dissimilar frequencies by engaging a dynamic mechanical analyser. Microstructural characterization is performed by engaging a scanning electron microscope and all the pertaining mechanisms have been scrutinized thoroughly.
