Abstract:An experimental and theoretical study of the spectral response of coupled viscoelastic bars subject to axial oscillations is performed. Novel closed formulas for the envelope function and its width are derived. These formulas explicitly show the role played by energy dissipation. They show that the internal friction does not affect the width of the envelope of the individual resonances. The formulation is based on the equations of classical mechanics combined with Voigt’s viscoelastic model. The systems studie… Show more
