Abstract
For a series of experimental measurements, Manfred Heckl attached strips of damping tape extending outward from the plate edges to increase the plate’s damping. He understood that vibrations induced in the tapes would extract vibrational energy from the plates, but did not explore their effects in detail. The present paper presents an analysis of the damping effects that attached wave-bearing systems can produce and illustrates realizations of waveguide absorbers in the shapes of tapered rods and beams. It also presents related experimental data and describes the general potential of waveguide absorbers.
