A methodology for developing high damping materials with application to noise reduction of railway track

For application in damping treatments, elastomeric materials should have a high damping loss factor, but this is inevitably linked to a strong temperature-dependence of the dynamic properties. A methodology is developed that allows a material to be formulated for a particular damping application whe...
