Thanks a lot mate, I really appreciate your help!

Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me why the damping properties of rubber will decrease as the strain amplitude increases? Thanks

G'day guys, I am currently trying to calculate the damping ratio for Shape memory alloys using hysteresis loops. The damping ratio is usually represented as ΔU/2∏U, where ΔU is the energy lost due to material damping and U is the elastic strain energy. My problem is trying to find this...
