Reinforced plastics and composite materials are chosen more and more because of their improved performance regarding damping for NVH applications compared to current metals. Material specialists need to efficiently identify this mechanical characteristic which, like the stiffness and failure, is anisotropic and driven by local fiber orientations in the material’s microstructure. Moreover for NVH purposes, the frequency dependency must be clearly identified in order to provide accurate material models to design engineers.

• Available in < 2 days when using available constituent models
• Quickly evaluate various multiphase materials to identify the best candidates for NVH targets
• Avoid waiting time and unneeded cost of performing additional experimental tests for each candidate material
