Abstract

A method of analysis addressing the problem of predicting the performance of beams with viscoelastic damping layer coating of varying degrees of coverage undergoing free vibrations is presented. Results based on this analysis and using mechanical properties of selected materials are generated for five different boundary conditions. The analytical results are verified experimentally for the case of a clamped-free beam. Also the main hypotheses employed in the theoretical approach are verified. Finally, an analysis of the results leads to a discussion of the dynamic properties of coated beams.
