Damping enhanced by redistribution of shear strains in damping materials. Report describes theoretical and experimental investigations of passive damping of vibrations in truss structures. Interest in passive damping revived by proposals to construct large trusses in outer space. Focuses on use of viscoelastic materials to damp longitudinal vibrations in tubular members of such structures.
