Abstract:
Provided is a structure of composite material, comprising a continuous first layer of composite material, a second layer of viscoelastic material, and a continuous impact-protection third layer. The first layer is formed by structural components in the form of a matrix and fibers. The second layer of viscoelastic material is added on top of the first layer and said second layer can be continuous or non-continuous. If a non-continuous second layer is used, elongate, circular or square cavities are arranged inside the layer. Optionally, reinforcements comprising carbon nanofibers or nanotubes are provided in either of the first and second layers. The third layer of impact-protection material is added in a continuous manner on top of the second layer, the third layer forming the outermost layer of the composite material. In addition, this third layer is electrically conductive. The composite material has noise attenuation, impact resistance and electric conductivity properties.
