Abstract
The paper presents the method to identify the dissipative properties of the materials with a clear hysteresis loop under the quasi-static loads. Because of the fact that for low values of velocity, the resisting forces related to the speed are minimal, it is not possible to determine these forces as the functions of velocity in the quasi-static deformations. It results in the need to develop such methods for identification, which use the responses of the tested system to the cyclic loading with a high frequency. This paper presents such a method. Its application may be useful in the area of constructing the effective and modern ballistic shields.
