This review article presents a comprehensive examination of recent studies conducted to enhance the damping characteristics of carbon fibre-reinforced composites. Research indicates that adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the composite matrix enhances damping performance, primarily due to interfacial sliding between the nanotubes and the polymer. The integration of barium titanate-based piezoelectric nanowires improves energy absorption through combined mechanical and piezoelectric mechanisms.". Moreover, critical structural elements such as laminate thickness and fiber alignment significantly influence the damping performance of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. Investigations indicate that increased thickness enhances the overall stiffness and fundamental frequency, while fibre orientation affects vibration attenuation, with certain directions exhibiting superior damping capabilities. A through comprehension of these parameters is essential for enhancing the vibrational characteristics of CFRPs in real-world implementations.
