Abstract
-
Many problems of noise and vibration reduction cannot be solved by
traditional methods ~sing mechanical dampers or high-damping viscoelastic
materials (e.g., rubbers, polymers and plastics) . Often constraints imposed
by the service environment , particularly those of stress, temperature and
corrosive atmospheres, will force the design engineer to consider highdamping
metals, alloys and composite materials. Unfortunately,
characterization of the damping and stiffness properties of promising high
damping metals and alloys has hardly ever been carried out in a systematic
manner. Consequently, damping data are rarely accessible to the design
engineer in a readily usable form. This lack of standard data has resulted
in relatively few cases where metals and alloys have been chosen
specifically for their high-damping properties.
This paper outlines techniques and strategies to characterize the damping
properties of high-damping metals and alloys that owe their damping
behaviour to the major classes of high-damping mechanisms. The main goal of
the characterization is to present the damping data in a form that can be
readily used by the design engineer to predict the vibration response of a
component fabricated from the high-damping metal or alloy in question.
