There are many standard methods for measuring vibration damping properties of the beam type material. Among them, three standards ASTM E 756, ISO 6721 and JIS G 0602, are compared. Loss factor and Young's modulus of the steel beam are evaluated by using five different methods and their results are compared. Logarithmic decay method and half-power bandwidth method are used to calculate the loss factor. It was observed that Young’s modulus is agree well, but loss factors are different from test to test. So the same test method must be applied to measure damping properties.
