- Additional information
- This publication is a part of the project on improving the vibroacoustic performance of lightweight structures used on electrified vehicles. A passive approach uses cork as sustainable means to improve damping performance. The cork material if exposed to elements readily loses performance – in this concept, aluminium material envelopes the cork, protecting it from deterioration. The approach doesn’t add significant weight, so a lightweight advantage is retained. There is continuing research to improve and optimise damping through the use of sustainable and natural materials.
