The damping properties of the vibration for a rectangular plate with a viscoelastic layer are presented. The analysis is carried out using the Ritz method. The rectangular plates are partially covered with constrained viscoelastic damping layer. The Ritz minimization scheme derives the complex eigenvalue problem that gives the natural frequencies and modal loss factors. Several example cases are presented to demonstrate the validity and utility of this method for patch damping design concepts.
