Abstract: The vibrational characteristics, natural frequencies, and associated composite loss factor of a finite-length laminated beam having alternate elastic and viscoelastic layers, are investigated. An ...

Abstract: The governing differential equation and natural and rigid boundary conditions have been obtained for a three-layer beam having a middle layer which is primarily shear carrying, using a variational ...

Abstract: The vibration damping ability of a laminated elastic-viscoelastic-elastic layered simply-supported beam is analytically investigated. The criteria for damping ability of this beam, at resonance, is ...
