Hello everyone,
I am trying to design an element that its purpose is providing stiffness and damping. The material that I wish to use is rubber.
My question is, how can we calculate the damping coefficient (c) for the calculation of the term c*dx/dt, when we know the loss factor of the material (for example η=0.075 for rubber) and the geometry of the element is defined.
Thanks in advance.
