The Analysis and Design of Constrained Layer Damping Treatments

Abstract

A tutorial work in which the mechanisms by which large shear strain may be induced in a damping layer are explored. The parameters of the system which determine the effectiveness of constrained layer treatments are identified from analyses of several geometric configurations. Advances of the past two decades in the design and analysis of damping layers as a means of controlling the amplitude of resonant vibrations are reviewed.
