Abstract:
A method to fabricate a damped suspension assembly includes providing a suspension assembly including a mounting plate, a bend region, and a load beam. A first thinned area of the load beam is partially-etched. The bend region does not include the first thinned area. A constrained-layer damper is adhered to the first thinned area of the load beam without being adhered to the bend region.
