Description
An energy method for predicting the natural frequencies and loss factors
of Rectangular Plates with Complete Constrained-Layer Damping Treatments
has been presented. Results obtained using the method developed were
compared with those of two former theories. The agreement between the
current theory and these two theories was generally good. There is a
serious need for carefully conducted experimental work to verify the
applicability of the current theory and of the various other laminated
plate theories in existence. It is believed that the method of analysis
presented can be extended to handle plates with partial constrainedlayer
damping treatments.
