“…The strength and the damping capacity of the most metal structural materials (such as Al alloy, Ti alloy, stainless steel, tungsten, etc) are within this range, and the product E s tan d s of these substrates are 0.07 $ 0.4 GPa (Lakes, 2002;Vaidya et al, 1995). Supposing the modulus E c and the damping tan d c of the coating layer are 30 GPa and 0.1 respectively (some high damping metal, such as gray cast iron, InSn alloy and some high-loss viscoelastic materials have such performance, Cook and Lakes, 1995), the results are plotted as tan…”
