The characterization of damping elements by differential or integral equations relating physical variables by transfer functions in the frequency domain and by impulse response functions in the time domain is carried out for the ideal viscous damper, the ideal hysteretic damper and the band-limited hysteretic damper. It is shown that the latter two models are flawed because they do not satisfy the causality requirement.
