Topology Optimization of Passive Constrained Layer Damping with Partial Coverage on Plate
The potential of using topology optimization as a tool to optimize the passive constrained layer damping (PCLD) layouts with partial coverage on flat plates is investigated. The objective function is defined as a combination of several modal loss factors solved by finite element-modal strain energy...
