Abstract: Previous literature has shown that large structures with a significant numberof smaller attached structures exhibit much higher apparent damping than was predictedby models. Further research into this effect led to the discovery that arrays of such smallattachments can be designed to alter the response of the overall system. That work also showedthat small variation in the distribution of attachment mass or stiffness degrade the performanceof the system. Additive manufacturing has now matured such that several methods providethe capability to realize the tolerances required to effectively test these designs. This paperdiscusses the use of StereoLithography Apparatus (SLA) optical fabrication to test the errorsensitivity of different materials using laser vibrometry to characterize the mechanical behaviorof the system.
