Vac Damps, vacuum applied structural damping pads, were developed almost 10 years ago. They were designed to fit the aviation manufacturing industry standards, and were meant to Reduce the riveting impact noise on the assembly lines. To this day, few extensive researches Have characterized their performance. In this work, the performance differences between Vac Damps and traditional, adhesive bonded damping pads are investigated. Experimental data Was obtained from a simple structure, impacted by a rivet gun simulating device.
