Damping Characteristics of Cylindrical Laminates with Viscoelastic Layer Considering Temperature- and Frequency-Dependence

The vibration and damping characteristics of the cylindrical hybrid panels with viscoelastic layers were investigated by using a full layerwise shell finite element method which can consider temperature and frequency dependent material properties. The present layerwise shell theory can accurately represent the zig-zag in-plane and out-of-plane displacements of multilayered hybrid structures and can fully consider the transverse shear and normal strains and the perfect cylindrical geometry. The remarkable differences of the frequency response functions of cylindrical hybrid panels including constrained layer damping and co-cured sandwiched models were observed. Present results show that the damping mechanics of hybrid panels with viscoelastic layers may be greatly affected by their temperature and frequency dependent material properties and that the present full layerwise theory can be used to accurately predict the vibration and damping characteristics of hybrid shells with viscoelastic layers.
