Particle damping is a technique used for vibration and shock attenuation in various engineering applications. Unlike traditional damping methods that rely on materials with viscoelastic properties or mechanical devices like springs and dampers, particle damping employs discrete particles that move within a container or a structure to absorb and dissipate energy. ### Key Characteristics of Particle Damping: 1. **Mechanism**: The basic principle involves using loose particles (often granular materials) contained within a structure.
