Abstract
Constrained layer damping is one of the passive techniques to control amplitude of vibration of structural components. In the present work an attempt has been made to quantify and compare damping ratios of composite-rubber-composite sandwich beam with that of pristine composite beam having nearly the same flexural stiffness and range of frequency of vibration from 20 Hz to 100 Hz. Length and thickness of sandwich and pristine beams in order to have the same flexural stiffness and desired frequency range of vibration were specifically designed. The damping ratio of each sandwich and pristine composite beams were measured experimentally using logarithmic decay and half-power bandwidth techniques.
