Description
An experimental investigation to determine the effectiveness
of partial constrained layer damping treatments for a
clamped rectangular plate is described. The impulse testing
technique was used with a Hewlett Packard '5423A structural
Dynamics Analyzer' to determine modal parameters of
the first five flexural modes. The results obtained are
compared with theoretical results and they are in agreement.
The results indicate that partial constrained layer damping
treatments, if properly used, can be more effective than
complete treatments.
