Show hintHide hint
Think about how materials react during stress.
Question 2.
Give an example of frictional damping.
Show hintHide hint
Consider where two materials might slide across each other.
3Question 3.
What type of damping refers to energy loss due to internal material friction?
- Material Damping
- Frictional Damping

Question 5.
Design a simple model of a bridge that incorporates all four types of damping. Describe each and explain their role.
Show hintHide hint
Think about each damping type’s purpose and how they work together.
Question 6.
