Hello,
I am looking into charactorising the damping properties of a material.
The intention is to be able to use the results in designing new components and have some idea of the damping properties before the part is made.
I intend to test a bar of the material at several different temperatures following the ASTM E756 test standard.
My question is how are the results applied to real day applications? will the test produce a frequency, temperature, damping ratio graph that I can apply to any part irrspecive of geometry. So that when designing a new part I just need to know the mode frequencies and application temperature look at the graph then I will have the damping ratio to apply for that mode
if you can help I would be very greatful
