18 results about "Constrained-layer damping" patented technology

Constrained-layer damping is a mechanical engineering technique for suppression of vibration. Typically a viscoelastic or other damping material, is sandwiched between two sheets of stiff materials that lack sufficient damping by themselves. The ending result is, any vibration made on either side of the constraining materials (the two stiffer materials on the sides) are trapped and evidently dissipated in the viscoelastic or middle layer.

Damped flexure mount

PCT designated stageWO2026072615A1Rotating vibration suppressionPrintersMulti materialConstrained-layer damping
A dampened flexure mount is capable of enhancing the vibration isolation of sensitive equipment, including optics or electronics in aerospace and space applications. The mount incorporates two or more materials in its design, where one material imparts rigidity, while the other material imparts flex dampening properties. The mount comprises x, y, and z flexures, making it quasi-kinematic in all axes. The mount further comprises constrained layer damping in a flexure mount. A viscoelastic material is disposed in the mount, and, in some cases, is disposed in one or more of the x, y, and z flexures. Vibrational energy, instead of adversely impacting the equipment, causes shearing in the viscoelastic material. Over time, this vibrational energy transforms into heat in the viscoelastic material, damping the vibrations that could disturb the attached equipment's operation.
