Description
A method of analysis addressing the problem of predicting the performance
of beams with viscoelastic damping layer coating of varying degrees of
coverage undergoing free vibrations is presented. Results based on this
analysis and using mechanical properties of selected materials are generated
for five different boundary conditions. The analytical results
are verified experimentally for the case of a clamped-free beam. Also
the main hypotheses employed in the theoretical approach are verified.
Finally, an analysis of the results leads to a discussion of the dynamic
properties of coated beams.
