Modeling of Passive Constrained Layer Damping as Applied to a Gun Tube

We study the damping effects of a cantilever beam system consisting of a gun tube wrapped with a constrained viscoelastic polymer on terrain induced vibrations. A time domain solution to the forced motion of this system is developed using the GHM (Golla-Hughes-McTavish) method to incorporate the vis...

description We study the damping effects of a cantilever beam system consisting of a gun tube wrapped with a constrained viscoelastic polymer on terrain induced vibrations. A time domain solution to the forced motion of this system is developed using the GHM (Golla-Hughes-McTavish) method to incorporate the viscoelastic properties of the polymer. An impulse load is applied at the free end and the tip deflection of the cantilevered beam system is determined. The resulting GHM equations are then solved in MATLAB by transformation to the state-space domain.
