| Abstract | ||
| The present work is concerned with study some of the mechanical properties (Brinell hardness, Bending strength, Damping) for a metal matrix composite (Aluminum-powder). Firstly Fabrication and characterization specimens reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) particles are dealt in the present study. The metal matrix composites (MMC’s) were prepared by addition of (0,1,2,3,4 and 5%) volume fraction of RHA particulates. The best mechanical properties for composite metal matrix at volume fraction (3.7%) R.H.A at hardness (70.76 HB) with bending (97.88 Mpa). Secondly estimated the damping constant and damping ratio in structure which is made volume fraction of R.H.A. The main objective of this paper is to estimate the damping ratio, natural frequency, damping constant of metal matrix composite reinforcement with different volume fraction of R.H.A by forced vibration analysis experimentally and theoretically, damping ratio is determine by using half-power bandwidth method. The damping ratio, natural frequency, damping constant proportional directly with volume fraction of R.H.A, best value for damping ratio (0.012) at volume fraction of R.H.A (5%). | ||
