Analysis and Optimization of Partial Length, Constrained Damping Layers

A laminated beam with constrained damping layers is analyzed. The normal strain in the longitudinal direction and shear strain in the viscoelastic layer is considered. Hamilton’s principle is used to derive equations of motion and boundary conditions. A 6th order equation is used to describe the por...
