The flexural vibration of laminated composite beams with passive constrained layer damping has been investigated to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity. The equations of motion are derived for flexural vibrations of symmetrical, multi-layer laminated beams. The damping ratio and modal damping of the first bending mode are calculated by means of Iterative complex eigensolution method. This paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite under flexural vibrations.
