Abstract: It is commonplace in academia to base models of constrained-layer damping treatments on the assumption that the facesheets displace identically during transverse vibrations. This assumption is ...

Abstract: Free vibration analysis of a free inflated torus of circular cross-section is presented. The shell theory of Sanders, including the effect of pressure, is used in formulating the governing ...

Abstract: There are internal-variable techniques that account for the frequency-dependent behavior of viscoelastic materials, but the temperature dependence of these materials has received much less attention. ...
