Passive Damping in Stiffened Structures Using Viscoelastic Polymers
… One of the most effective and widely used methods of mitigating these unwanted vibrations from a system is passive damping, by using a viscoelastic material. This dissertation will primarily focus on constrained layer passive damping treatments in structures and the investigation of …

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