Abstract

Abstract An optimum design study for a sandwich plate consisting of two equally thick skin faces with a constrained viscoelastic layer is presented. Temperature and frequency dependent properties of the viscoelastic material are taken into account. Modal system loss factor maximization and displacement response minimization are carried out with various constraints on the design variables and other requirements
