An important work presenting in one volume the application of viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of structures, machinery, and vehicles

Focuses primarily on the application of passive as well as actively treated viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of structures, machinery, and vehicles. Emphasis is placed on presenting the basic principles and potential applications of passive and active vibration damping technologies. The presentation encompasses a mix between the associated physical fundamentals, governing theories and...
