Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe/PU polymer composite is prepared to investigate the damping behavior by using an indigenous experimental setup. The excellent damping properties of Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe alloys bonded with polymer matrix makes possible to develop new damping materials which are effective, less expensive and easier than bulk Ni-Mn-Ga. At low frequency, the stress amplitude increases and then smoothly decreases on increasing the frequency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
