Finite element vibration and damping analysis of a partially covered cantilever beam
Mustafa Yaman

 
Abstract
    There are several ways of decreasing the vibration energy of structures. One of which is special damping layers made of various viscoelastic materials are widely applied in structures subjected to dynamic loading. In this study, a cantilever beam, partially covered by damping a constraining layers, is investigated by using Finite Element method (FEM). The frequency and system loss factor are evaluated. The effects of different physical and geometrical parameters on the natural frequency and system loss factors are discussed.
 
Key Words
    damping; sandwich beam; finite element.
