The present review aims at gathering the available literature on damping in composite
materials. A chronological review of test methods for damping estimation is presented in …

Concrete structures inevitably suffer from dynamic loadings, causing damage and
uncomfortable vibration. Improving the damping of concrete to passively absorb the vibration …

Experimental estimation of damping is currently not a comprehensively solved problem.
Although modal frequencies and mode shapes can be measured confidently and quite …

In this paper a new method is applied in rotating cracked shafts to identify the depth and the
location of a transverse surface crack. A local compliance matrix of different degrees of …

The aim of this research paper was to define a new approach unifying the different failure
modes of a structure. Several relationships, reported in literature and developed by the …

This paper is concerned with the damping design of a composite propeller blade. A hybrid
method is proposed for predicting the structural damping of the composite blade. This …

The stick–slip phenomenon is commonly found at structural connections in steel buildings. It
is a major damping mechanism in a structure with bolted joints and makes a significant …

The objective of this paper is to use quantitative thermography for fatigue damage
assessment and life prediction of welded components. The energy dissipation during fatigue …

This paper presents a novel and simplified method to predict the damping ratio and power
output of a cantilever-based electromagnetic vibration energy harvester through finite …

The work reported in this paper describes the development of a hybrid methodology for the
prediction of damping properties of vibrating composite laminates; this method could also be …
