description The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a selected physical modifier with different granularity and mass percentage on the dynamics of aerospace polymer composites. The tests were carried out on samples made of certified aerospace materials used, among other purposes, for the manufacture of aircraft skin components. The hybrid composites were prepared from L285 resin, H286 hardener, GG 280T carbon fabric in twill 2/2 and alumina (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, designated as EA in this work). The manufactured composites contained alumina with grain sizes of F220, F240, F280, F320 and F360. The mass proportion of the modifier in the tested samples was 5% and 15%. The tested specimens, as cantilever beams fixed unilaterally, were subjected to kinematic excitation with defined parameters of amplitude and frequency excitation in the basic resonance zone of the structure. The results, obtained as dynamic responses, are presented in the form of amplitude–frequency characteristics. These relationships clearly indicate the variable nature of composite materials due to modifier density and grain size. The novelty of this study is the investigation of the influence of the alumina properties on system dynamics responses.
