Typically a viscoelastic or other damping material, is sandwiched between two sheets of stiff materials that lack sufficient damping by themselves. The result is that any vibration generated on either side of the constraining materials (the two stiffer materials on the sides) is suppressed by the viscoelastic material, by turning it into heat. The damping is associated with the shear deformation of the viscoelastic material. == References == - [[Professional Practice/Project Delivery Methods]] - [[Structures/Structural Engineering]] - [[Environmental Design/Sustainable Materials]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs/Section 2 - Signs and Display]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/Energy Codes]] - [[Building Construction]] - [[Building Services/Plumbing and Drainage]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture/Stone Temples of India/pillars]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Modern Architecture]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/International Building Codes]]
