The damping and structural properties of dragonfly and damselfly wings during dynamic movement
Lietz, Rajabi and colleagues investigate the physiological and structural components of damping in insect wings. Notably, flight muscles and hemolyph appear to have no direct involvement in wing damping, compared to the function of the wing hinge.
