Abstract
The following conclusions apply to rubber of the stock tested when bonded to steel: 1. For cylinders in compression and specimens in shear, the damping can be expressed in terms of a velocity coefficient. The damping decreases with increase of frequency; it increases with increase of static strain. 2. The dynamic modulus of elasticity is slightly larger than the static modulus and is not affected by change of frequency. It increases with increase of static strain for the cylinders and decreases for the shear specimens. 3. For cylinders in compression, both damping and modulus of elasticity are dependent upon the ratio of diameter to length.
