Viscoelastic materials have the characteristics of elasticity and viscosity. Unlike the metals which show negligible damping characteristics, the damping characteristic of viscoelastic materials like rubber mounts is very important in the analysis of the dynamic system. So there has been a great interest in measuring the damping characteristics of the material can be measured. One is the resonant method which loss factor can be measured only in the resonant frequency. The other is the nonresonant method. In this paper, the test procedure and the physical meaning of the impedance method are introduced. The impedance test results, the loss factor by the impedance method, are compared to the results of the resonant method including some recommendations in the experimental setup.

Because the residual vibration of a gun barrel acts negatively on the firing of a large calibers gun, the fast stabilization of theresidual vibration is indispensible to the precise and successive firing. In this study, the residual vibrations of a gun barrel carrying a bore evacuator and a muzzle brake are investigated by the experimental method. The influence of the eigenfrequencies and the mode shapes of gun barrel on the fast stabilization of the residual vibration is studied for the various masses of bore evacuator and muzzle brake, the possition of bore evacutor. Also the relationships between the funcamental frequencies and the settling times of the gun barrel are investigated for the various parameters. The experiments to reduce the residual vibration using the viscoelastic damping treatment gives the best result among the various treatments for the reduction of residual vibration of the system.

The present paper aims at studying the seismic response of structures equipped with viscoelastic dampers (VED). The performance of such a passive control system is here analyzed using the energy balance concept, which leads to an optimal design process. The methodology is based on an energy index (EDI) whose maximization permits determination of the optimal mechanical characteristics of VED. On the basis of a single degree of freedom model, it is shown that the maximum value of EDI corresponds to a simultaneous optimization of the significant kinematic and static response quantities, independently of the input. By using the proposed procedure, the optimal design of new and existing structures equipped with VED, inserted in traditional bracing systems, are here analyzed and discussed.

We examine the problem in which porous/viscoelastic compliant thin plates are subject to pressure fluctuations under transitional or turbulent boundary layer. Measurements are presented of the frequency spectra of the near-field pressure and radiated sound by compliant surface. A porous plate consisting of 5mm thick, open-cell foam with fabric covering and a viscoelastic painted plate of 1mm thick over an acoustic board of 4m thick were placed over a rigid surface in an anechoic wind tunnel. Streamwise velocity and wall pressure measurements were shown to highly attenuate the convective wall pressure energy when the convective wavenumber ($k_{ch}$) was 3.0 or more. The sound source localization on the compliant walls is applied to the measurement of radiated sound by using an acoustic mirror system.

The objective of this paper is to predict and evaluate the sealing performance of the thermoplastic rubber component in the proto-design stage. The large strain and large deformation properties of rubber are modeled by strain energy function and the related material constants are calculated from the test data. The viscoelastic property of the rubber is also considered using the coefficients in a Prony series representation of a viscoelastic modulus ken the compression stress relaxation test. The results show that the current design of cap mount system has 2-different stiffness caused by the cap-mount contact and the viscoelastic property of rubber plays an important role in time dependent deformation.

In this study, the wind load characteristics for a transmission tower is investigated considering the effect of the transmission lines through stochastic analysis. The assemblage of the transmission line and insulator are modeled as a double pendulum system connected to the SDOF model of the tower It is observed that the background component of the overturing moment induced by the wind response of the transmission line has considerable portion in the total overturning moment. Based on this result, a rotational viscoelastic damper (VED) is proposed for the mitigation of the transmission line reactions, which act as wind load transferred to the tower. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, time history analysis is conducted for different wind velocities and VED damping constants. From the analysis, the proposed VED is proved to be effective for mitigation of the background component rather than the resonance component of the transmission line reaction.

A structure's vibration characteristic is determined by modal property of the system. Through proper vibration analysis or experiments, the structure can be modified to reduce of vibration and noise. This paper is concerned with the natural frequency and modal loss factor of sandwich plates with viscoelastic core. The effects of shear and normal strain in the viscoelastic layer are investigated on modal properties, natural frequency and modal loss factor, by changing geometry parameter and viscoelastic material property of sandwich plates. The errors of modal parameters resulting from neglecting the extension or compression in the core material for simply supported(S-S-S-S) case are compared with those for clamped(C-C-C-C) boundary condition. Finite difference method(FDM) is utilized as numerical analysis technique of square sandwich plates for fixed boundary conditions. In order to reduce computation time and increase accuracy, improved finite difference expression with fourth order truncation error was used.

This paper presents an analytical study aimed at evaluating the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) retrofitted with different approaches. For this, 3, 6 and 12 storey MRFs having four equal bays of 5 m were selected as the case study models. The models were designed with lateral stiffness insufficient to satisfy code drift and hinge limitations in zones with high seismic hazard. Three different retrofit strategies including traditional diagonal bracing system and energy dissipation devices such as buckling restrained braces and viscoelastic dampers were used for seismic upgrading of the existing structures. In the nonlinear time history analysis, a set of ground motions representative of the design earthquake with 10% exceedance probability in fifty years was taken into consideration. Considering the local and global deformations, the results in terms of inter-storey drift index, global damage index, plastic hinge formations, base shear demand and roof drift time history were compared. It was observed that both buckling-restrained braces and viscoelastic dampers allowed for an efficient reduction in the demands of the upgraded frames as compared to traditional braces.

In this paper, a fully discrete numerical scheme for the viscoelastic Oldroyd flow is considered with an introduced auxiliary variable. Our scheme is based on the finite element approximation for the spatial discretization and the backward Euler scheme for the time discretization. The integral term is discretized by the right trapezoidal rule. Firstly, we present the corresponding equivalent form of the considered model, and show the relationship between the origin problem and its equivalent system in finite element discretization. Secondly, unconditional stability and optimal error estimates of fully discrete numerical solutions in various norms are established. Finally, some numerical results are provided to confirm the established theoretical analysis and show the performances of the considered numerical scheme.
