We analyze the damping induced by a homogeneous and isotropic viscoelastic layer embedded between a rigid solid cylinder of radius r and a homogeneous and isotropic elastic hollow cylinder of inner and outer radii r and r respectively. The composite cylinder is deformed by holding the inner cylinder

โฆ Synopsis
The performance of a new treatment consisting of integrated arrays of constrained visco elastic damping layers passively controlled by a specially arranged network of permanent magnets is evaluated. The interaction between the magnets and the viscoelastic layers aims at enhancing the energy dissipation characteristics of the damping treatments. In this manner, it would be possible to manufacture structures that are light in weight and are capable of meeting strict constraints on structural vibration when subjected to unavoidable disturbances. In this paper, a "nite element model is developed to study the interactions between the permanent magnets and their in#uence on the dynamic behavior of treated beams. The model is used to develop a thorough understanding of the basic phenomena governing the operation of this new class of smart magnetic constrained layer damping (MCLD) treatments. The performance characteristics of the MCLD are determined for fully treated beams and compared with the corresponding performance of conventional passive constrained layer damping (PCLD). Such a comparison is used to determine the merits and limitations of the proposed MCLD treatments.
