DESCRIPTION:Summary: Caribbean steel pans are made from the ends of mild s
 teel oil drums\, shaped using standard metallurgical processes to produce 
 quite sophisticated regions of confined vibration which produce the charac
 teristic sound of the instrument. Sometimes the pans don't 'ring' properly
 \, and this is attributed to variability in acoustic damping in the steel.
  An investigation was carried out on the way in which damping is affected 
 by metallurgical processing\, uncovering some intriguing phenomena. The wo
 rk presented here builds on PhD research completed by Soren Maloney in 201
