Forced Vibration Analysis of Multi-Layered Damped Sandwich Beam

샌드위치형 다층 감쇠보의 강제진동 응답 해석

In this paper the general equation of motion of damped sandwich beam including arbitrary viscoelastic material layer was derived based on the equation presented by Mead and Markus. The equation of motion of n-layered sandwich beam was represented by (n+3)th order ordinary differential equation. It was verified that the general equation of motion derived in this paper could represent the equations of motions for single-layered, three-layered, five-layered and multi-layered damped beam. Finite element method for the arbitrary-layered damped beam was formulated and programmed using higher order shape functions. Several numerical examples were implemented to show the effects of damped material.
