Optimal Constrained Layer Damping of Beams: Experimental and Numerical Studies

This article deals with the optimal damping of beams constrained by viscoelastic layers when only one or several portions of the beam are covered. The design variables are the dimensions and locations of the viscoelastic layers and the objective function is the maximum damping factor. The discrete d...
