Passive Viscoelastic Constrained Layer Damping Application for a Small Aircraft Landing Gear System

The main purpose of this report was to test several common viscoelastic polymers and identify key attributes of their applicability to a small aircraft landing gear system for improved damping performance. The applied viscoelastic damping treatment to the gear was of a constrained layer type, promo...
