Abstract
A laminated panel is provided by; a reinforced composite core of either an organic matrix or a metal matrix, bonded by at least one layer of adhesively bonded viscoelastic damping polymer film and face sheeting of steel for use as integrally-damped steel/composite laminates in extended ship structures, tanks, tactical mobile field units, mobile computer rooms, seismic equipment support structures or any other load-bearing steel structures utilized in high noise/high vibration environments. Utilization of an organic matrix composite core in the integrally-damped steel/composite laminate provides an effective toxicity and flammability barrier for use in human/machine interfaces. Utilization of a metal matrix composite core in the integrally-damped steel/composite laminate provides an effective flammability barrier. Internally tapered edge adapters to interconnect the laminates to themselves or to other steel structures is also provided.
