Tc. Ramesh et N. Ganesan, VIBRATION AND DAMPING ANALYSIS OF CYLINDRICAL-SHELLS WITH CONSTRAINEDDAMPING TREATMENT - A COMPARISON OF 3 THEORIES, Journal of vibration and acoustics, 117(2), 1995, pp. 213-219
Cylindrical shells with a constrained damping layer treatment are stud
ied using three theories. The finite element method is made use of in
the study. The nondimensional frequencies and loss factors predicted b
y the three theories are compared and the theories are evaluated. The
importance of inclusion of the extensional effects in the core and its
effect on the loss factor is brought out in this study.
