Summary:

Discussed in detail is the manner in which the damping possessed by rubber-like materials and structures experiencing sinusoidal vibration may be represented by the ratio of the imaginary to the real part of a complex elastic modulus. Examples are given of the way in which the damping possessed by low- and high-damping rubbers depends on frequency. Equations that predict the response to vibration of such distributed systems as damped rods and beams, and a simple structure comprised of two damped beams and a lumped element of mass are derived; and representative computations of input impedance and transmissibility are presented
