Loss tangent (internal friction) for high relaxation strengths and a lognormal distribution of relaxation and retardation times

The loss tangent (internal friction) is evaluated numerically for a lognormal distribution of retardation or relaxation times and high relaxation strengths. It is shown that the loss tangent peak becomes more asymmetrical and the peak width, at half-maximum, decreases as the relaxation strength incr...
