Polymers for Vibration Damping Applications is a detailed guide on the use of polymers and polymer composites for vibration and shock damping. The book begins with two chapters that introduce the fundamentals of both vibration and shock damping. The next part of the book presents in-depth coverage of polymeric materials for vibration damping, including viscoelastic properties, design of polymer systems, and modes and applications. Finally, measurement techniques are discussed in detail. Throughout the book, the different perspectives of materials and engineering are considered, and both mathematical and conceptual approaches are used. This is an essential resource for all those looking to understand the application of polymers for vibration damping, including researchers, scientists and advanced students in polymer science, plastics engineering, materials science and mechanical engineering, as well as engineers and R&D personnel in the automotive, marine, defense and construction industries. - Equips the reader with a complete, fundamental understanding of vibration and shock damping - Explains the viscoelastic properties, design and applications of polymeric materials for vibration damping applications - Includes cutting-edge research on the use of polymers for advanced civil and defense applications

Dr. Chakraborty graduated in Chemical Engineering from Jadavpur University (India) and attained a Ph.D. in Chemical engineering from IIT Bombay (India). He served on the Defence Research and Development Organisation in Mumbai and Ambernath (India) till 2016 and retired as an 'Outstanding scientist'. He thereafter served as Director, Polymer Nano Technology Centre in BSA Crescent Institute of Science & Technology (Chennai, India) for one year. Dr Chakraborty has vast research experience in dynamic viscoelasticity, acoustic polymers, blends, IPNs, composites and nano composites.
