© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020. The paper discusses the classical methods of surface damping of bending vibrations in thin-walled structures. Furthermore, the perspective integral version of a damping coating has been proposed. Such coating consists of two layers of material with pronounced viscoelastic properties with a thin reinforcing layer of high modulus material between them. Dynamic tests of cantilevered duralumin specimens under the damped bending vibrations were carried out using the created experimental setup. The purpose of these tests is to compare the effectiveness of the known and proposed methods of surface vibration damping. The influence of aerodynamic drag forces on the vibration damping of specimens is noted. A refined finite element model of an elongated plate with an integral layer damping is constructed on the basis of the four-layer finite element. This model allows taking into account the effect of transverse compression of damping layers under high-frequency deformation. The analysis of the stress-strain state of the damping layers of a simply supported elongated plate under resonance vibrations in several lower eigenmodes has been carried out. The analysis showed a significant increase in the transverse compression stresses of the damping layers with frequency increasing.
