Abstract
A model for predicting damping in composites has been developed based on the concept of strain energy-weighted dissipation. In this model, the effect of transverse shear stress on damping has been included in addition to the effects of inplane extension/compression and inplane shear. Validation of the model was attempted by conducting damping measurements on 00 unidirectional composite beams with varying length and thickness. The results of theoretical predictions of damping in laminated composites were found to compare favorably with experimental data. The transverse shear appears to have a significant effect on the damping mechanisms in 0° unidirectional polymer composites.
