ABSTRACT

The vibration suppression of fractionally damped thin rectangular plates is studied. The plate has simply supported edges and is subjected to a concentrated harmonic loading. The vibration suppression is accomplished by attaching multiple fractionally damped absorbers in order to minimize the plate deflection at the natural frequencies of the plate. First, the governing equations are derived and solved analytically in Laplace domain. Next, the solution in time domain is derived analytically by contour integration and also numerically via Fixed-Talbot method and are compared with each other. The formulation of the problem is capable of optimizing the L2 norm of the plate deflection at the wide frequency band with respect to mass, stiffness, and fractional damping parameters.
