SmartDamp

Elastomer composites are hybrid composites of metal or hard plastic and elastomer, whereby the elastomer can be a crosslinked, vulcanized system (rubber) or a thermoplastic (TPE).  

As part of the development for a methodical approach, the following points are to be considered in the project:

• the matching of the damper to the overall system in terms of the necessary stiffness and damping properties 
• the frequency- and temperature-dependent material properties 
• the topology/shape/geometry/composite properties/preload of the vibration damper 
• the fatigue strength properties (fatigue behavior) of a metal/polymer/plastic compound
