Describing at a fundamental level the improvements in knowledge of viscoelastic damping which have occurred in recent years, this text will allow engineers to increase their understanding of basic principles and hence improve their appreciation of the potential damping applications of viscoelastic materials. Features include: * Emphasis on step-by-step explanations and illustrations * Simple approaches for practical structural applications This text is a wide ranging and valuable reference resource for anyone involved in vibration control, including vibration control analysts, researchers, practitioners and designers in industry and consultancy as well as graduate students in mechanical, aeronautical and marine engineering.

A practical approach to the application of viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise problems in industrial structures, machinery, computer machinery, and vehicles. Assuming a basic understanding of mechanical engineering, the text covers implementation of theory, including material properties, dynamic structural response, design procedures and practical applications. Based on an understanding of both the properties of materials and the vibrational response of structures. Considers individual structures and the damping materials properties simultaneously. Includes extensive collection of data sheets for a large number of useful damping materials.
