Damping in composite materials: Properties and models

Damping models that have been proposed for composite materials stem from models for viscoelastic materials. The main reason is that most of the dissipation comes from the polymeric matrix. The simplest way to represent damping is the use of linear viscoelastic models, such as Kelvin-Voigt, Maxwell or Zener models.
