VISCOELASTIC SUPPORT DAMPING OF BUILT-IN CIRCULAR PLATES.
Abstract
An experimental and theoretical study is conducted of the damping effectiveness of an inset of viscoelastic adhesive at the supports of built-in circular plates. The experimental study shows that a small inset of adhesive can increase the total cyclic energy loss in the fundamental flexural mode by about a factor of five for plates made of aluminum alloy. The theoretical study shows that an elementary model of the dissipated action demonstrates qualitatively all of the characteristics observed experimentally. (Author)
