Abstract
Passive damping plays an important role in the vibration mitigation of aeronautic structures. In contrast to active systems, passive damping systems do not require any energy supply. Thus, their readiness is independent, which reduces the failure probability compared to active systems. Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) has become an established treatment for damping bending vibrations. Unlike other passive systems such as shock-mounts, CLD can be compactly integrated into an existing structure as an add-on solution. However, the design scope is limited by mass constraints and the optimal design for maximum damping must be found by optimization. For this purpose, a novel optimization approach is presented. The layer widths of the core and face layers of a CLD structure are treated as design parameters. Compared to the strategy of placing CLD patches on vibration antinodes, the proposed approach provides up to 52 % higher damping. The optimal design of a generic beam structure is determined considering different modes, viscoelastic material stiffnesses and ambient temperatures. Furthermore, the simulated damping is experimentally verified for a shape-optimized beam. The analyses show that the optimal design depends significantly on the viscoelastic material stiffness and is therefore temperature dependent. As a consequence, a generalized design guideline for CLD treatments cannot be derived.
