Modeling of Passive Constrained Layer Damping as Applied to a Gun Tube

We study the damping effects of a cantilever beam system consisting of a gun tube wrapped with a constrained viscoelastic polymer on terrain induced vibrations. A time domain solution to the forced motion of this system is developed using the GHM (Golla-Hughes-McTavish) method to incorporate the vis...
