The Analysis and Design of Constrained Layer Damping Treatments
TLDR
In this article, a tutorial work in which the mechanisms by which large shear strain may be induced in a damping layer are explored is presented, and the parameters of the system which determine the effectiveness of constrained layer treatments are identified from analyses of several geometric configurations.Abstract:

Analytical modeling of viscoelastic dampers for structural and vibration control
TL;DR: In this article, the standard mechanical model (SMM) comprising linear springs and dashpots is shown to accurately describe the broadband rheological behavior of common viscoelastic dampers and be more efficient than other models such as the fractional derivative model and the modified power law.

Damping Analysis of Orthotropic Composites with Interleaved Viscoelastic Layers: Modeling:
TL;DR: In this article, the damping of orthotropic laminates with a single or two interleaved viscoelastic layers is analyzed in the case of rectangular plates, where the natural frequencies and modes are first derived using the Ritz method.

Damping analysis of beams submitted to passive and active control
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical method is proposed for damping analysis of sandwich beams with piezoelectric and viscoelastic layers based on the classical zig-zag model and some assumptions about the electric field, which leads to an analytical expression of the modal loss factor and frequency.

Analysis of Design Tradeoffs for Passively Damped Structural Joints
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasistatic analytical model based on the complex modulus description of viscoelastic behavior is utilized to better understand the relationship between structural stiffness and structural damping as a function of important physical parameters.
