Dissipation of vibration energy using viscoelastic granular materials

This work addresses the way in which a viscoelastic granular medium dissipates vibration energy over broad ranges of frequency, amplitude and direction of excitation. The viscoelastic properties (modulus and loss factor) of polymer particles are obtained experimentally both by deriving the master cu...
