Topology Optimization of Passive Constrained Layer Damping on Plates with Respect to Noise Control

Article Preview

Abstract:

The square of normal surface velocity of a thin plate with a harmonic excitation is minimized by optimizing the topologies of attached passive constrained layer damping (PCLD) treatments. An extended solid isotropic material with penalization model for topology optimization is introduced based on a simple interface finite element modeling for viscoelastic layer of PCLD patch. For the purpose of illustrating the proposed method, a clamped square plate is used in the numerical study. Significant reductions of the objective functions are achieved by the optimal distributions.
