The e!ectiveness of the active constrained layer damping (ACLD) treatments in enhancing the damping characteristics of thin cylindrical shells is presented. A finite element model (FEM) is developed to describe the dynamic interaction between the shells and the ACLD treatments. Experiments are perfo

โฆ Synopsis
The influence of a constrained damping layer on the resonant response of orthotropic cylindrical shells to different types of loading is studied. The material damping in the composite facings is also accounted for in the analysis. Parametric studies are carried out using the finite element method for different core to facing thickness ratios, length to radius ratios and boundary conditions. The investigation is made not only with respect to the displacement response but also to the stress response. From the study it is found that inclusion of the damping layer is beneficial in reducing the resonant displacement and the stress magnitudes in composite shells.

The harmonic response of cylindrical shells with constrained damping treatment is studied by the finite element method. Two finite elements based on different kinematic hypothesis are presented and made use of in the study. Studies are carried out and results presented for shells with different core
This paper presents a general approach to predict the influence of geometric non-linearities on the free vibration of elastic, thin, orthotropic and non-uniform open cylindrical shells. The open shells are assumed to be freely simply supported along their curved edges and to have arbitrary straight
This paper is concerned with the investigations of viscoelastic material (VEM) effects on active constrained layer (ACL) based structures. Specific interests are on how the VEM parameters will influence the passive damping ability, the active action authority, and their combined effect in an ACL con
