Composite damping technology can reduce the vibration response through energy consumption of internal damping material.A composite damping vibration reduction design and an analysis is carried out for an airborne optoelectronic pod to attenuate its large vibration.The damping material,laying area,thickness, restraining stiffness and so on are determined with overall consideration of the weight,size,service environment and attenuation effect.Simulation and test results show that the composite damping technology can effectively reduce the response to the optoelectronic pod,improve the imaging effect,and has a strong engineering application value.
