Filler Material

Filler material is designed to dissipate energy of a structure through research we found that specific particle sizes can be determined to target specific frequencies. Not only can specific frequencies be used, a wide range of frequencies can be targeted based on mixing the particle sizes targeting specific frequencies. However, deriving specific particle sizes would be difficult to do without a finalization on other aspects of the design.
