Microstructural Topology Optimization of Constrained Layer Damping on Plates for Maximum Modal Loss Factor of Macrostructures

This paper presents microstructural topology optimization of viscoelastic materials for the plates with constrained layer damping (CLD) treatments. The design objective is to maximize modal loss factor of macrostructures, which is obtained by using the Modal Strain Energy (MSE) method. The microstru...
