A GRAPHICAL COMPILATION OF DAMPING PROPERTIES OF BOTH METALLIC AND NON- METALLIC MATERIALS
Abstract
This report is a compilation of data on the damping properties of uniform materials and test specimens that has been collected from a wide range of publications. There are 420 entries on metals and alloys of which 300 are also illustrated with figures. There are 250 entries on polymers, elastomers, wood products, composites and similar synthetic and natural nonmetallic materials of which 85 are illustrated with figures. There are 80 entries on refractories, glass, masonry, minerals, stone, natural crystals, and oxides of which 20 are illustrated with figures. In addition there are 7 entries on particle-type materials, aggregates, soils, and Earth's crust. The earliest data included comes from a 1931 publication while the latest data comes from 1964 publication. If possible the data for metals, alloys, and some nonmetals is given in either unit damping energy D or loss coefficient, otherwise the data is presented in either total damping energy or loss coefficient of the specimen. The data for the polymers and elastomers is usually given in complex notation (G', G'' or E', E''). The primary purpose of this report is to present conveniently and concisely a compilation of published test data in a consistent set of units and to provide a useful reference for engineers and designers.
