Vibration Damping

A vibration damping measurement system and a comparison of vibration damping characteristics for glassfiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, and Vectran™ fiber are found in Figures 21 and 22. Table 16 lists performance characteristics of various metals and composite materials used by a manufacturer of audio components. The differences are apparent and demonstrate that Vectran™ fiber is ideal for vibration damping in sporting goodsand audio applications.
