Abstract
This study deals with the active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of laminated composite plates to demonstrate the performance of piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC) layer as the constraining layer of ACLD treatment. A finite element model is developed for the smart composite plates integrated with the patches of ACLD treatment. The performance of the constraining PFRC layer has been investigated for active damping of thin symmetric and antisymmetric crossply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminated composite plates. The main concern of this study has been focused on investigating the significant effect of variation of piezoelectric fiber orientation in the PFRC layer on enhancing the damping characteristics of the laminated substrate plates, and the fiber angle in the PFRC layer for which the control authority of the patches becomes maximum has been determined.
