Theory of vibration-damping polymeric coatings

  • Shells And Plates
  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. An approximate method for calculating the characteristics of vibration-damping polymeric coatings of complex construction, based on equations of the theory of multilayer plates and shells, has been developed.

2. The dimensionless parameters of the theory of multilayer plates and shells, g and h/r, are the basic quantities which determine the effectiveness of a damping coating.

3. An increase in number of layers in the coating, while preserving the overall thickness of the packet and an assigned ratio between the thicknesses of the polymeric and rigid layers, exerts only a small effect on the effectiveness of the coating.
