Dynamic Analysis of Composite Sandwich Beams with a Frequency-Dependent Viscoelastic Core under the Action of a Moving Load

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

A dynamic analysis of the behavior of sandwich beams with a viscoelastic core under the action of a moving load is performed considering their geometrical asymmetry. The use of viscoelastic materials integrated into structures in front of the moving load is considered as a new suggestion to enhance their stability. A high-order theory, taking into consideration longitudinal and rotational inertias was used to examine the viscoelastic damping properties composite sandwich beams with account of their geometrical asymmetry and the frequency-dependent behavior of their viscoelastic core.
