Evaluation of analytical and experimental methods to predict constrained layer damping behavior

Constrained layer damping (CLD) for three layer beams with viscoelastic cores and aluminum or graphite/epoxy composite laminate outer layers was investigated for model comparison, sensitivity to design parameters, and evaluation of experimental loss factor estimation techniques. Model comparison for...
