Project Description
This project involves the analysis of a zero-waste vibration-dampening board created from old clothes and hospital-used gloves. The board is designed to reduce vibrations and impact forces, primarily used in applications where vibration damping is critical, such as in machinery or structural components.

The board consists of three layers:

Outer Layers: Made from old clothes (fabric), providing flexibility and damping.
Core Layer: Composed of used hospital gloves (rubber), offering additional cushioning and vibration resistance.
The goal of this analysis is to evaluate the vibration behavior of the board under real-world conditions, including its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and structural integrity when subjected to dynamic forces. The results will help optimize the material properties and structural design for better vibration absorption and durability.

Analysis Type

Materials
Old Clothes (Fabric - Outer Layers)

Density: 900–1200 kg/m³
Young’s Modulus: 0.1–1 MPa
Poisson’s Ratio: 0.3
Used Gloves (Rubber - Core Layer)

Density: 1000–1500 kg/m³
Young’s Modulus: 1–10 MPa
Poisson’s Ratio: 0.45–0.49
Objective
To determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the board, identifying potential resonance issues.
To analyze how the board performs under vibrations and dynamic loading.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the zero-waste materials in vibration-damping applications.
Boundary Conditions and Loads
Fixed support at one edge to simulate attachment.
Application of dynamic loads or force impacts on the board to simulate real-world conditions.

This is a test to see how we can do a thermal fatigue analysis
