Constrained-layer damping is a mechanical engineering technique to suppress vibrations. Typically a viscoelastic or other damping material, is sandwiched between two sheets of stiff materials that lack sufficient damping by themselves. The end result is that any vibration generated on either side of the constraining materials (the two stiffer materials on the sides) become trapped and are subsequently dissipated in the viscoelastic or middle layer.
