Abstract:Abstract. In order to design viscoelastic sandwich structures used as passive damping treatment, many aspects should be considered. In all methods available in the literature to model Viscoelastic Materials (VEM) a crucial step is the determination of the complex modulus, usually obtained by curve fitting experimental results. Considering that dispersions are inherent to experimental tests and also those small variations in the fitted parameters lead to considerable changes on the dynamic behavior of VEMs henc… Show more
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.
