I’m familiar with the experimental methods to determine the damping ratio of a material, but I’m wondering if there’s an alternative way to calculate it using mechanical properties alone.
For example, stiffness (K) can be derived using the formula K= (A*E)/L, where A is the area, E is the modulus of elasticity, and L is the length. I’m curious if there’s a similar approach for damping ratio? Assume we don't know the Damping Co-efficient or factor.
And, if you don't have the resources to conduct experiments to determine damping, are there any sources like MatWeb where we can find the damping ratios for materials?
Thanks
