Damping Properties of Viscoelastic Stiffened Laminated Cylindrical Shells with an Unconstrained Fiber-Reinforced Layer

Article Preview

Abstract:

By use of the mixed layerwise theories and the interpolation functions of displacements and transverse stress, the dynamics equations of viscoelastic stiffened laminated cylindrical shells with an unconstrained fiber-reinforced layer were derived. The predicted vibration frequency and loss factor show the good agreement with the A.Okazaki’ experimental results for the two-layer cylindrical shells. The non-dimensional frequencies and loss factors were computed for different Young’s modulus and thickness of viscoelastic layer. The results show that using a higher module and thickness viscoelastic layer can effectively increase the loss factors; moreover, using a circular-reinforced viscoelastic layer has little effect on the non-dimensional frequencies, but can effectively increase the model loss factors.
