Overdamping of vibration resonances by liquid crystal elastomers

Abstract This work aims to compare the capability of vibration attenuation by standard elastomeric polymers, and by the new anomalously damping nematic liquid crystal elastomer. We use the most mainstream materials in both categories, and design two testing platforms: the ASTM-standard constrained l...
