Abstract

An energy method for predicting the natural frequency and loss factor for square plates with partial and complete coatings is developed. Both simply-supported and edge-fixed bonndary conditions are considered. An impulse testing technique is used to provide an experimental verification of the analysis for the case of an edge-fixed square plate. The analytical and experimental results are in close agreement, and indicate that partial coatings can provide effective damping treatments.
