30,333.9 Ns/m are obtained after application of the identification
procedure. A comparison of the storage modulus resulting from
the identification procedure (the solid line) with the storage modulus
obtained experimentally (the small cross marks) is presented
in Fig. 13. A similar comparison for the loss modulus is shown in
Fig. 14. The presented results indicate that the three parameter
fractional Kelvin–Voigt model could reasonably well describe the
behaviour of solid VE dampers.
