Abstract: We present a mathematical model exhibiting the empirically observed damping rates in elastic systems. The models studied are of the form ($A$ the relevant elasticity operator) \[ \ddot x + B\dot x + Ax = 0\] with $B$ related in various ways to the positive square root, ${A^{1/2}}$, of $A$. Comparison with existing “ad hoc” models is made.
