An important work presenting in one volume the application of
viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of
structures, machinery, and vehicles
Focuses primarily on the application of passive as well as
actively treated viscoelastic damping materials to control
vibration and noise of structures, machinery, and vehicles.
Emphasis is placed on presenting the basic principles and potential
applications of passive and active vibration damping technologies.
The presentation encompasses a mix between the associated physical
fundamentals, governing theories and optimal design strategies of
various configurations of vibration damping treatments. Utilization
of the smart materials to augment the vibration damping of passive
treatments is the common thread which is pursued, in depth, among
all the chapters of the book.
This book is divided into two parts, the first dealing with
materials theory and the second dealing with the practical
application to vibrations. It presents the basics of various
damping effective treatments such as constrained layers, shunted
piezoelectric treatments, electromagnetic and shape memory fibers.
Classical aspects of viscoelastic materials models are also
analyzed from the experimental characterization of the material
coefficients as well as their modeling. New models such as
Golla-Hughes-McTavish (GHM ) model, augmented temperature field
(ATF) model, fractional derivatives (FD) models. Modal strain
energy (MSE) models are also deeply analyzed. Part II of the book
is devoted to the detailed descriptions of advanced damping
treatments using all the fundamentals presented in Part I. Each
chapter of the book ends with a number of problems that cover the
different aspects of theoretical analysis, design, and applications
of vibration damping technologies.
The book has a large number of numerical examples to reinforce
the understanding of the theories covered, providing the means for
exercising the knowledge gained, and emphasizing the learning of
strategies for the design and application of active and passive
vibration damping systems. The examples are supported by a set of
MATLAB software modules to enable the designers of vibration
damping systems to extend the theories presented to various
applications.
- Written by an internationally recognized authority and
pioneer, it summarizes and presents comprehensive coverage in one
volume material that until now appears throughout a selection of
references- Presents a mix of the associated physical fundamentals,
governing theories and optimal design strategies of various
configurations of vibration damping treatments, a comprehensive
coverage not available elsewhere- With companion website including
MATLAB software, solutions to all problems, and power point slides,
the supporting tools enable hands-on experience of the analysis,
design, optimization, and application to a wide range of
situations
