Abstract
The auxetic materials that exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio are shown to have better damping factors as well as impact shielding capability. This paper displays experimental results for the flexural vibration of a sandwich with a bio-based auxetic core. Material design concept and the coupled geometry are enabled by the additive manufacturing technique. The core and skins printed from polylactic acid fortified by flax fibers (PFF) compose these sandwich structures. A clamped-free arrangement is used for the vibration tests. Experimental tests on the auxetic structure, the skins and the sandwich beams, were executed for the evaluation of their dynamic properties. These tests were realized on three core densities for auxetic structures, to investigate the influence over damping factors in addition to the dynamic stiffness. The results show that the loss factor increases with frequency on the contrary to the stiffness which decreases as a function of frequency. In addition, a decrease in the density of the auxetic core generates an improvement in the loss factor and a decrease in the dynamic stiffness of the sandwich beam.
