Damped structural panel and method of making same

A damped structural panel includes a panel having bending modes including demanding bending modes. The demanding bending modes have subsonic bending waves along at least one axis, and require damping treatment based on sound radiation properties of the panel. A viscoelastic material is applied within a limited area adjacent to the panel edges based on the demanding bending modes. The viscoelastic material damps sound radiation caused by bending waves during use of the structural panel, such as use as a body panel on an aircraft.

Noise reduction mechanism of fan device and molding method of porous damping material therefor

Porous damping material (40) is attached to an entire inner circumference of the fan shroud (20) opposing to an end of a fan (4) and is exposed to opposing space without using conventional perforated metal. Accordingly, jet noise caused by strong swirl between the fan (4) and the fan shroud (20) can be damped by the damping material (40) and impulsive sound scarcely occurs. Thus, both of the impulsive sound and the jet noise can be effectively damped, thereby securely reducing noise. The pours member (401) constituting the porous damping material (40) is a die-molding product made by a die (150) having a cavity (153).

Brake assembly with tuned mass damper

A tuned mass damper for sound-dampening brake squeal noise is located within a hole formed in a brake component such as a backplate supporting a brake pad. The location of the hole and the weight and geometry of the tuned mass damper are tailored to provide effective damping for the particular frequencies that are to be eliminated in the brake system. Locating the tuned mass damper inside of a hole in the component has packaging and manufacturing advantages, and results in a tuned mass damper that is less susceptible to damage when in use. The hole may be blind, the bottom of the hole being thin enough to serve as a spring member to which a vibration damping mass is attached. In one embodiment, the tuned mass damper is a module adapted for insertion into the hole in the brake backplate. Contact between the module and inner surfaces of the hole transfers mechanical vibration of the backplate to the tuned mass damper.
