Pk. Roy et N. Ganesan, A VIBRATION AND DAMPING ANALYSIS OF CIRCULAR PLATES WITH CONSTRAINED DAMPING LAYER TREATMENT, Computers & structures, 49(2), 1993, pp. 269-274
The analysis of circular plates with a constrained viscoelastic dampin
g layer treatment is carried out in this paper. A finite annular eleme
nt based on individual layer theory is developed for this purpose. The
influence of core-to-facing thickness ratio and shear modulus of the
core on the frequencies and loss factors of a circular plate with isot
ropic facing is analysed in this paper. The study is conducted for thr
ee boundary conditions: (i) clamped at both edges, (ii) simply support
ed at both the edges and (iii) clamped free edges.
