Abstract
A damping system for a fabricated gear comprising a plurality of viscoelastic sheets sandwiched between damping plates and side plates, the side plates having circumferential rings which act as mode converters to change in-plane vibration to bending mode vibrations and are fixed to one margin of the damping plate to provide effective vibration damping within the gear.
