 INTRODUCTION

Many of the modern composites developments that have taken place in the last few decades are
due to development of new materials and new processing techniques. Among the new materials that have
come to stay, composite materials occupy an important place in every important field such as aerospace,
defense, automobiles, civilinfrastructure, biomaterials as wellas sportsandleisure.
WHY COMPOSITES?

The primary reason composite materials are chosen for components is because of weight saving
forits relative stiffness and strength.
Forexample, carbon fibre reinforced composite can be five times stronger than 1020 grade steel
whilehaving onlyonefifthofthe weight.
The many component materials and different processes that can be used make composites
extremely versatile and efficient. They typically result in lighter, stronger, more durable solutions compared
totraditional materials.
MATERIALS SELECTION
If the matrix melts or cracks at a low temperature, the composite can be used for applications
only at temperatures less than that melting or cracking point.

Fiber: In terms of composite fillers, a fiber is filler with one long dimension.
Matrix:The part of the composite that binds the filler.
Particle: In terms of composite fillers, a particle is a filler with no long dimension.

IMPORTANCE OF FORMULAE

SOUND ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT

- Sound absorption coefficient.

- Intensity of the reflected sound.

- Intensity of the incident sound.

Note:
From the above equation, it can be observed that the absorption coefficient of
the material varies from 0 to 1.

 Most composites are made of just two materials. One is the matrix or binder. It
surrounds and binds together fibres or fragments of the other material, which is called the
reinforcement.

Metal Matrix Composites:

A metal Matrix Composite (MMC) is composite material with at last two constituent
parts, one being a metal necessarily,
the other material may be a different metals or another material, Such as a ceramic or organic
compound.

CONCLUSION

The present project focused on development of new Polymer Matrix Composites for the
Aerospace application. The work is carried out on study of “Production of composite material; Application
by sound absorbing and noise reducing” from the collection of literature survey on Polymer Matrix
Composite (PMC). From this it can conclude that for Flexural and Tensile applications Surface finishing
mat can be used. Epoxy is Preferred over the sound absorbing which has the co-efficient of 0.05 at 4000Hz
filler in aerospace applications and Turbine blade manufacturing.
