Experimental Analysis of Constrained Layer Damping Structures for Vibration Isolation in Lightweight Railway Vehicles

Rolling stock manufacturers face the challenge of manufacturing lightweight high-speed trains without deteriorating comfort.One of the difficulties is to mantain or increase structural stiffness and damping as the car bodies become lighter.Leaving aside active solutions, which are expensive and generally complex to implement, increasing structural
