The master's thesis introduces the influence of polyurethane foam on the damping of beam structures. It was researched, how much polyurethane foam reduces the amplitudes of vibrations of tubular steel beams. At first is introduced an analytical calculation of the natural frequencies of the beam based on the Euler-Bernoulli theory of bending oscillation of the beams. The selected hollow square cross-section beam is fixed on one side and on the other side it has the free end. With the finite element method in the NX Nastran software is carried out the modal analysis of the beam that results are natural shapes and natural frequencies of beam with filling and without filling from polyurethane foam. Theoretically gained results were also checked with experiment. The vibrations that appear on prepared samples with filling and without filling from polyurethane foam, were measured out with an accelerometer ADXL377 and with the high speed camera Fastcam Photron Ultima 512. In results of research is presented influence of filling from polyurethane foam to increase damping characteristics of the tubular steel holder. In attachment is added the display of the analytical calculation of the natural frequencies according to the Euler-Bernoulli theory of bending oscillation of the beams, which is made in the Mathematica software.
