Abstract
In this paper, a numerical method is proposed for determining complex vibrations modes of sandwich structures with piezoelectric and viscoelastic layers. Based on homotopy and asymptotic numerical techniques, this method leads to the damping properties calculation (loss factor and natural frequency per mode) of the hybrid sandwich structure. The numerical results of the loss factor and natural frequency are compared to those obtained from analytical beam model and from numerical studies the modal strain energy method.
