Abstract

The experimental results of a flexible cantilever beam with constrained viscoelastic layer and shape memory alloy layer called smart damping treatment (SDT) are presented. The upper side of the beam is bonded with a viscoelastic layer and then covered with a constraining layer. The lower side is bonded with a shape memory alloy layer, which is used as an actuator. The elastic modulus and loss factor of damping materials are functions of the temperature. The temperature effects on system frequency and loss factor due to heat cycling of SMA layer are evaluated here. It is found that temperature plays an important role on system frequency and loss factor, and thus the temperature effects must be included when discussing such an structure.
