Abstract: | ![]() This paper presents an overview of experimental and analytical approaches that have been used to characterize damping properties of composite materials and structures, with emphasis on polymer composites. A discussion of damping mechanisms operating in composites is followed by a review of several experimental methods for measuring damping. A summary of analytical models for predicting damping at both the micromechanical and macromechanical levels is presented and comments on ways of improving and optimizing damping in composites are offered. |
