... ABSTRACT Underwater noise radiated (URN) from ships represents a growing concern for the international community. The Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) combined with viscoelastic materials (VEMs), is a promising new solution for mitigating URN. In this paper, we present the characterization...

... known that the internal damping is very low. In contrast, there are so-called viscoelastic materials, which show high dissipation of mechanical energy. In this paper, a measurement campaign in real scale, carried out to investigate the dynamic behavior of different materials used to absorb vibration...

... structure is a constant occurrence for different engineering fields. One of the ways to increase structures lifetime may be by the reduction of their vibration amplitudes by optimization based designs which take into account viscoelastic materials. These materials can be set to operate...
