The need for accurate, quantitative knowledge of the vibration dissipation of large space structures is explained. The sources of experimental error in vibrational measurements are detailed. A new method for such testing based on the use of a miniature telemetry system is presented, which allows the testing of structures in a simulated space environment consisting of free-fall inside of a vacuum chamber. Theoretical relations are given for the damping ratios of metals and composites. Measured damping ratios for both aluminum and composite beams and plates, and aluminum planar trusses, are presented. Experimental results are used to evaluate the theoretical damping relations.
