Structural Fuzzies At Sea

Abstract

A rudimentary statistical energy analysis (SEA) can be employed to decipher the functioning of structural fuzzies. A structural fuzzy is a device that, when coupled strongly to a structure, increases the damping of that structure. A structural fuzzy must be endowed with a modal density and structural damping that by far exceeds those of the structure to which it is strongly coupled.
