An Optimization Technique Applied to the Determination of Modal Damping Coefficients

Smith, Craig C. 01 August 1970 (has links)
Although analytical techniques are generally available for the simulation of dynamic systems, often these techniques require a great deal of computer time and storage. This difficulty was vividly pointed out by a previous thesis undertaken in this Department by R. L. Webster (1). Mr. Webster undertook the determination of orthotropic material properties using dynamic response test data from plates. A major difficulty which was encountered was the enormous amount of computer time required for the simulation. This thesis is an investigation of a method which when fully developed, may provide the ability to simulate such systems much more efficiently.

Influences of Higher Order Modeling Techniques on the Analysis of Layered Viscoelastic Damping Treatments

Austin, Eric M. 24 November 1998 (has links)
Much of the work done on active and passive constrained layer beams is done with mathematical models proposed by Kerwin and extended by DiTaranto, Mead and Markus, and others. The mathematics proposed by these early researchers was tailored to fit the damping treatments in use at that time: thin foil damping tapes applied to panels for noise reduction. A key assumption was that all layers had identical transverse displacements. While these assumptions are reasonable when the core layer, normally a soft viscoelastic material(VEM), is thin and the constraining layer is weak in bending, there are many situations in industry and in the literature where the ``Mead and Markus'' (MM) assumptions should be questioned. An important consequence of the MM modeling assumptions is that the strain energy in the VEM core is dominated by shear strain, and this in turn means that only the shear modulus is of primary importance. This is fortunate since only the shear modulus is available to engineers for viscoelastic materials used for layered damping treatments. It is a common practice in industry and academia to simply make an educated guess of the value of Poisson's ratio. It is shown in the dissertation that this can result in erroneous predictions of damping, particularly in partial-coverage configurations. Finite element analysis is used to model both the MM assumptions and a less-restrictive approach commonly used in industry. Predictions of damping from these models are compared against models with elements from C0 elements and a C1-capable element that matches tractions at material interfaces. It is shown that the time-honored modal strain energy method is a good indicator of modeling accuracy. To assess the effects of the MM assumptions on an active PZT used as a constraining layer, closed-loop damping versus gain is determined using both the MM and higher order elements. For these analyses, the time-dependent properties of the viscoelastic material are represented by a Maxwell model using internal variables. Finally, the basic MM premise that all layers share the same transverse displacement is disproved by experiment. / Ph. D.
