The experimental results were compared with those of relatively damping-free hard steel wires of the same diameters. The wires were tested at three different stress levels to show the effect of stress on damping. The copper-manganese alloy wires displayed significantly higher- damping than the steel wires. The damping of the Incramute wires increased directly with the diameter and decreased inversely with the stress level.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C.
