Popis: The vibrational properties and mechanism of a foam-filling short basalt fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite beetle elytron plate (EBEPfc) were studied by experiments and the finite element (FE) method in this paper. The experimental results showed that the natural frequencies of the first two modes of the EBEPfc were very close to those of a foam-filling short basalt fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite honeycomb plate (HPfc), while the vibrational response of the EBEPfc was weaker than that of the HPfc, and the damping ratio was improved; the improvement of the second mode was significant. Therefore, the EBEPfc had a better vibration reduction performance and could directly replace the HPfc in engineering applications. The FE results showed that foam filling enhanced the shear stiffness of the whole core structure, and had a more obvious effect on the shear stiffness of the HPfc. Meanwhile, it particularly reduced the shear force proportions and contributed to the protection of the skin and core skeleton. The mechanisms of the vibrational characteristics of these two types of sandwich plates were explored from the perspective of the equivalent cross-sectional area, shear stiffness, shear strain energy per unit volume and friction. These results provide a valuable reference for the promotion and application of EBEPfc in the fields of vibration reduction and seismic resistance.
