Abstract

An energy method for predicting the natural frequencies and loss factors of Rectangular Plates with Complete Constrained-Layer Damping Treatments has been presented. Results obtained using the method developed were compared with those of two former theories. The agreement between the current theory and these two theories was generally good. There is a serious need for carefully conducted experimental work to verify the applicability of the current theory and of the various other laminated plate theories in existence. It is believed that the method of analysis presented can be extended to handle plates with partial constrainedlayer damping treatments.
