Escaping the Ashby limit for mechanical damping/stiffness trade-off using a constrained high internal friction interfacial layer

Abstract The development of new materials with reduced noise and vibration levels is an active area of research due to concerns in various aspects of environmental noise pollution and its effects on health. Excessive vibrations also reduce the service live of the structures and limit the fields of t...
