Previous work dealing with the damping of flexural vibrations by application of single "damping tapes" consisting of metal foils and dissipative adhesives is summarized and extended to multiple tapes. A general analysis of damping due to N equal tapes is pre¬sented; the effect of using non-equal tapes is investigated for double tape applications. Suitable dimensionless parameters are used where possible in order to maintain generality.
