Abstract
Vibration-damping layers are stored as a continuous elongated strap in cod condition for supply to subsequently fabricated structural products. Such strap is formed from high modulus layer constrainment segments encapsulated within a viscoelastic material contributing to establishment of the vibration-damping property and flexure of the strap between the segments thereof to accommodate coiling during storage. The strap is uncoiled from its storage condition during a supply phase to a preselected surface of the fabricated structural product.
