In this work, the effectiveness of a shear actuation-based hybrid active-passive damping treatment is investigated by incorporating the inclusion of graphite particles within the viscoelastic damping layer. The study is performed through the flexural vibration analysis of a sandwich plate-strip where the core is made of a laminate of active layers and graphite particle-filled viscoelastic layers in two different stacking sequences. The active layers are comprised of shear mode piezoelectric actuator patches that are activated according to a shear-based velocity feedback control strategy. The analysis is performed by deriving a closed-loop finite element model of the sandwich plate-strip, and it reveals that the hybrid damping is significantly dependent on the stacking sequence of active and passive damping layers at the core. The inclusion of graphite particles not only provides augmented passive damping but also causes enhanced transfer of shear actuation force from the active layers to other layers. As a result, a significantly improved shear actuation-based hybrid active-passive damping is achieved due to the inclusion. The effectiveness of this hybrid damping in attenuation of resonant displacement-amplitude is also presented by configuring the volume fraction of graphite particles and shear actuator patches in an optimal manner.
