Experiment dataset of dynamic properties of damper material derived from automotive spare parts as passive control devices for retrofitting existing buildings

The data collection provides two clusters: rubber materials and dampers as passive energy dissipation devices that are selected from existing systems in automotive spare parts, namely rubber from engine mounting rubber, shock absorbers, and engine mounting rubber (EMR). Variable depending on the brand, number, and size of the rubber used by the manufacturer. Data on EMR rubber materials, such as ultimate tensile strength, axial elongation, hardness, and density. Data for EMR as a system, including data from static and dynamic tests. The parameters measured are stiffness and damping ratio. The area and shape of the hysteresis curve are used to determine the damping ratio. The data presented in the article will allow researchers to validate the dynamic models for several designs of dampers, such as a damper with a single EMR and a damper with a group of EMR systems.
