자동차 루프의 진동제어를 위한 제진재의 위치 및 두께에 대한 실험적 연구

This paper presents an experimental study on vibration characteristics of an automotive roof with damping material. The goal of the study is to extract modal parameters (natural frequency, loss factor, and mode shape) of automotive roof with damping materials treatment. To determine the effective positions and thickness of the damping material on a roof, vibration tests have been carried out for six cases; Aluminum plate with damping material on maximum strain energy, and aluminum plate with damping material on nodal line. From the result of aluminum plate, it is found that the damping material should be attached on the place with maximum strain energy part. For the automotive roof, patches of constrained damping material have been attached on the position of maximum strain energy and also implemented at the best position of applied damping treatment along each thickness of damping material. This paper addresses that the proper position of damping material is very important and the concept of maximum strain energy may be a good criterion for the placement of damping material.
