Abstract This paper presents some analysis techniques to estimate the passive damping ability of viscoelastically damped, fiber-reinforced, polymer composite materials. The potential use of passive damping treatments to further enhance the damping ability of composite structural elements is discussed. Experimental comparisons are provided wherever possible.
