In this research, we propose a new objective function for optimizing damping materials to reduce the resonance peak response in the frequency response problem, which cannot be achieved using existing criteria. The dynamic compliance in the frequency response problem is formulated as the scalar product of the conjugate transpose of the amplitude vector and the force vector of the loading nodes. The proposed objective function methodology is implemented using the common solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
