“…Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) can be used as an excellent lightweight replacement for steel in mechanical industries [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] due to its outstanding specific strength characteristics [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], as well as its sound damping characteristics [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The dynamic response of a CFRP structure varies with the changes in structural stiffness with respect to the direction of the carbon fiber; hence, CFRP is anisotropic in nature due to the different orientations of the carbon fiber [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. In addition, there are several weaving processes for producing CFRP products, such as plain-weave, twill-weave, and unidirectional-weave, to create a three-dimensional structure; sometimes, a combination of different weaving methods is utilized [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”
