Abstract
This investigation treats the damped free vibrations of a double-cantilever beam with an adhesively bonded lap joint. The adhesive is considered to be a viscoelastic material, the modulus of which is assumed to be small compared is that of the elastic beam. The frequency equation is derived and the effects of the thickness, length and stiffness of a viscoelastic material on the damped natural frequency and logarithmic decrement of the system are discussed. Experimental data for damped natural frequencies and loss factors are presented for comparison with theoretical predictions.
