Abstract
A method is described by which the internal damping of a machine member can be evaluated in a simple way. It is shown that the results of a conventional damping test on a simple shaped specimen of the chosen material can be combined with a newly introduced quantity, the stress-distribution function, to yield the internal damping of a particular member. The suggested method eliminates the necessity for testing expensive specimens as was often the practice.
