Experimental Centrifuge Testing and Analytical Studies of Particle Damping Behavior
Abstract
In this paper, analytical and experimental studies of particle damping behavior are discussed. These studies have focused on the development of an analytical model to predict particle damping behavior and on determination of the effects of centrifugal loading on the behavior. An analytical model, based on the particle dynamics method, has been developed and is being correlated with results from experimental testing. A novel test facility is being established which enables laboratory based evaluation of the damping effectiveness of blade-like objects under centrifugal loading. Depending on the test article, this facility will be capable of exposing test specimens to centrifugal accelerations of up to 124,000 G's.
