Abstract:Passive damping treatments using viscoelastic materials (VEMs) are widely applied as addon solutions to control the dynamic response of light structures. These surface treatments are simple, reliable, and can be optimized by using proper design rules and simulation tools. In this work, a new treatment configuration is proposed, simulated, and assessed, being compared with the most effective configuration currently used. The novelty resides in the VEM layer’s geometry, which in the proposed configuration assume… Show more
