Vibrational damping properties of finite microperforated plates
Microperforated plates (MPP) are traditionally used to advantageously absorb acoustic waves in sound control technologies. However, less is known concerning the additional structural damping they can induce. The latter is activated through exchanges in the viscous and thermal boundary layers near the fluid-structure interface of the microperforations. MPPs therefore offer an alternative to, or can be used together with, viscoelastic materials, commonly implemented to damp vibrations at medium and high frequencies. In this work, the structural damping capabilities of MPP are investigated. To this end, the damping performance of a finite size MPP is explored analytically through an alternativ…
Comportement vibratoire des plaques microperforées finies
Les plaques microperforées sont utilisées dans l’industrie pour leurs propriétés d’absorption acoustique. Ces structures légères, de par des échanges dans les couches limites visqueuses et thermiques près de l’interface fluide-structure, permettent l’absorption des ondes acoustiques. Il est montré dans ce travail que ces structures peuvent également induire un amortissement supplémentaire significatif particulièrement pour les basses fréquences. Ces solutions sans ajout de masse peuvent être un complément ou une alternative aux matériaux viscoélastiques couramment utilisés pour amortir les vibrations en moyennes et hautes fréquences.Ainsi il est proposé dans ce projet d’étudier les effets d…
Added viscous damping in a finite-size microperforated plate within a nonlinear framework
Increasing the damping properties of a structure while limiting the addition of mass is a challenging task. Originally developed for their acoustic absorption capabilities, microperforated plates (MPP) are simple devices that can feature additional viscous damping at low frequencies. Dissipation arises in the boundary layers of the microperforations through viscous friction mechanisms induced by the relative motion between the solid and the fluid in which the MPP is immersed. This leads to sound absorption in an acoustic context and to an added viscous damping in a solid dynamics context. The added viscous damping exhibited by the MPP can be captured by considering adapted fluid-solid inter…
Damping performance of finite microperforated plates using multi-sized and spacial distributions of perforations
In the context of structural dynamics, recent works by the authors showed that microperforations can be used to mitigate vibration. Microperforated plates (MPPs) have been shown to exhibit substantial added damping stemming from fluid-structure interactions and visco-thermal effect mechanisms in the boundary layers of the perforations during relative motion between the solid and the fluid contained in the perforations. The added damping reaches a maximum for a characteristic frequency, depending only on the perforation diameter. Choosing the perforation diameter so that the characteristic frequency coincides with the natural frequency of the plate reduces the mode contribution of the plate.…
