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 free lateral bending vibrations of an “infinitely” long or simply-supported thin-walled circular cross-section beams having elastic-viscoelastic-elastic layers are investigated to determine the ...

Abstract: The natural frequencies and associated composite loss factor have been determined for a finite-length laminated plate having alternate elastic and viscoelastic layers. Partial differential equations ...
