Damping and mechanical properties of CFRP composites with pre-embedded carbon-based reinforcing media in salt spray environment

Key Points

• CFRP composites exhibit improved mechanical properties in a salt spray environment, enhancing their durability.
• Results indicate that carbon-based reinforcing media increase the damping capacity of CFRP composites significantly.
• Observational analysis reveals varying effects of embedded media on mechanical properties under salt exposure conditions.
• Further testing in different environments may validate these findings and broaden application scope.
