Damping property analysis of laminated composite structures have been done based on the complex stiffness method (CSM). In view of laminated plates with viscoelastic material cores, investigation is conducted using CSM and numerical methods of finite element method and spectral finite element method. Simulation results show that analytical solutions by CSM are in good agreement with the two kinds of numerical solutions. The proposed analytical method is well suited to calculate and optimize the damping property of laminated structures especially composites with constrained layer damping treatment.

A survey of several methods under the heading of strong formulation finite element method (SFEM) is presented. These approaches are distinguished from classical one, termed weak formulation finite element method (WFEM). The main advantage of the SFEM is that it uses differential quadrature method (DQM) for the discretization of the equations and the mapping technique for the coordinate transformation from the Cartesian to the computational domain. Moreover, the element connectivity is performed by using kinematic and static conditions, so that displacements and stresses are continuous across the element boundaries. Numerical investigations integrate this survey by giving details on the subject.
