Damping elements exhibit temperature dependency. In this paper, it was demonstrated that the temperature dependency of damping elements including viscoelastic dampers, viscous dampers, oil dampers, steel dampers, high-damping rubber bearings, and lead rubber bearings can each be approximated by the Arrhenius equation. This enables the temperature dependency to be evaluated completely separately from other dynamic characteristics, and allows for comparison of temperature dependency among different damping elements using a single index.
