A guide to the application of
viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of
structures, machinery, and vehicles
Active and Passive Vibration Damping
is a practical guide to the application of passive as well as actively
treated viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of
structures, machinery and vehicles. The author — a noted expert on the
topic — presents the basic principles and reviews the potential
applications of passive and active vibration damping technologies. The
text presents a combination of the associated physical fundamentals,
governing theories and the optimal design strategies of various
configurations of vibration damping treatments.
The text presents
the basics of various damping effective treatments such as constrained
layers, shunted piezoelectric treatments, electromagnetic and shape
memory fibers. Classical and new models are included as well as aspects
of viscoelastic materials models that are analyzed from the experimental
characterization of the material coefficients as well as their
modeling. The use of smart materials to augment the vibration damping of
passive treatments is pursued in depth throughout the book. This vital
guide:
- Contains numerical examples that reinforce the understanding of the theories presented
- Offers an authoritative text from an internationally recognized authority and pioneer on the subject
- Presents, in one volume, comprehensive coverage of the topic that is not available elsewhere
- Presents
a mix of the associated physical fundamentals, governing theories and
optimal design strategies of various configurations of vibration damping
treatments
Written for researchers in vibration damping and research, engineers in structural dynamics and practicing engineers, Active and Passive Vibration Damping offers
a hands-on resource for applying passive as well as actively treated
viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of
structures, machinery and vehicles.
