Popis: An asymptotic analysis, using the Wave Propagation Method of Keller and Rubinow, was performed on the problem of two identical Timoshenko beams coupled end to end via a so called Type I energy-dissipative joint in 2010. This paper generalizes those results by employing the same method to treat the problem involving any of the four standard types of dissipative joint. A numerical analysis also is performed, and a comparison of the results shows a good match, once one is far enough along the spectrum. In addition, it is found that numerical results for increasing values of the aspect ratio approach the corresponding Euler-Bernoulli beam results, and the asymptotically undamped Timoshenko modes are found to play a lesser role as the aspect ratio increases.
