Damping material is usually applied to steel panels of vehicles to reduce vibration levels. On
the other hand, the weight of a vehicle must be reduced to improve the rate of fuel …

In this work the dynamic behaviour of free layer damping plates with thick unconstrained
viscoelastic layer is analysed. With this aim, the Kirchhoff–Love thin plate formulation is …

A composition cork layer with constant thickness is used to study the form of unconstrained
and constrained damping treatments. Its spatial distribution problem over one side of the …

The acoustic comfort of passengers is a concern for the automotive industry in which surface
damping treatments are broadly used. The viscoelastic materials present in the treatment of …

This document proposes a novel analytical-experimental hybrid methodology for the
determination of the longitudinal and shear dynamic moduli, in which the longitudinal …

The acoustic comfort of passengers is a concern for the automotive industry in which surface
damping treatments (SDTs) are broadly used. The viscoelastic materials present in the …

Nowadays, power transformers (PTs) are being installed nearby residential areas where low
acoustic noise level requirements are strictly imposed. Hence, the need for low acoustic …
