Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the performance of composite and structures materials (laminates composites reinforced with carbon fiber and sandwich materials with laminated composite faces and foam core) by theoretical and experimental analysis on damping capacity vibration. Experiments were carried to determine the elastic and damping characteristics of composite materials on a small-scale configuration of a machine tool structure having the purpose of knowing the damping vibration ability of a column position on a Polypad structure.
