Constrained Layer Damper Modelling and Performance Evaluation for Eliminating Squeal Noise in Trams

This paper presents the modelling and design of a constrained layer damper to eliminate squeal noise in a particular tram. Even though resilient wheels are installed in every bogie, squeal noise is generated at the frequency of 780–800 Hz due to the small radius curves that the tram has to draw. Tun...
