Abstract

The mathematical model of a flexible cantilever beam with a constrained viscoelastic layer and shape memory alloy layer called smart damping treatment (SDT) is presented. It is shown that a change of the elastic modulus of the shape memory alloy layer will affect the system loss factor and resonance frequency. The recovery stress of the SMA layer leads to an inhomogeneity in the governing differential equation. The recovery stress also functions as an excitation to the system. The effects of the different parameters found in the analysis are discussed in the paper.
