Passive Damping in Stiffened Structures Using Viscoelastic Polymers

Ahmad, NaveedVirginia Tech2016

… This dissertation will primarily focus on constrained layer passive damping treatments in structures and the investigation of associated complex modes. The key idea behind constrained damping treatment is to increase damping as affected by the presence of a highly damped core layer vibrating …

Influences of Higher Order Modeling Techniques on the Analysis of Layered Viscoelastic Damping Treatments

Austin, Eric M.Virginia Tech1998

Much of the work done on active and passive constrained layer beams is done with mathematical models proposed by Kerwin and extended by DiTaranto, Mead and Markus, and others. The mathematics proposed by these early researchers was tailored to fit the damping treatments in use at that time: thin …
