How does dissipation of energy by the responding system occur? |

Damping is a term used to describe the physical phenomenon of converting the energy of motion (Kinetic) to another form, namely heat. This is accomplished through frictional resistance. The isolator itself may exhibit damping in the form of internal friction or hysteresis. If the isolator material has very low inherent damping, then another physical element can be added to the isolator system to give the damping required.
