In this paper an experimental method for determining the frequency‐dependent stiffness and damping properties is presented. The aim is to obtain valid input parameters for a simulation model that considers the most important effects of typical damping materials without the necessity of poroelastic material formulations, which require at least five different input parameters. These parameters are difficult and expensive to determine experimentally. Moreover, the determination procedure is not very robust and the results can easily vary [1]. Additionally, such parameters are often phenomenological without having a physical meaning. For these reasons, it is promising to use a simpler material model based on frequency‐dependent stiffness and damping parameters within numerical simulations in order to be able to predict the acoustic behavior of complex systems with different damping and insulation treatments sufficiently.
