Overview

This text concentrates on the damping improvement of many structural elements - including beams plates, rods, rings, shells and curved elements - by using constrained viscoelastic damping materials. The development of analytical models for damping in structural elements is emphasized, alongside the progression from simple single degree of freedome models to more complex multidegree of freedome models, continuous structural elements, and finite element techniques. This work is intended for engineers working in aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering who have to deal with the use of damped structural elements to control noise and vibration in structures and machines, and also for graduate and short courses.
