Abstract: Considering the small damping characteristics of hardcoating materials and the calculation error caused by classic modal strain energy method, a new method was proposed to predict damping characteristics of hardcoating composite structure. The principle formulas of modified modal strain energy method were deduced. A case of cantilever plate covered with MgAl hard coating was carried out, and the effects of the hard coating materials parameters and coating thickness on the damping characteristics of composite structure were discussed. The analysis results showed that the increase of Young’s modulus, loss factor or thickness of coating can improve the damping properties of the composite structure. The relevant research results provide a reference for the preparation of hard coating materials and design of damping vibration reduction.
