Dynamic Response of Viscoelastic Composite Beams Containing Spherical Particles

Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigates the effect of embedded particles on energy dissipation and natural frequency in viscoelastic double-clamped beams under harmonic excitations. Using Eshelby’s inclusion method and the inclusion-based boundary element method (...Practical ApplicationsThe inclusion-based boundary element method (iBEM) is developed as an efficient computational tool for analyzing particle-reinforced viscoelastic composites. It provides engineers with a practical approach to optimizing composite ...
