Modal Analysis Of Mdof Systems With Proportional Damping

Structural Dynamics of SD of Systems Notes - Memphis

dampers as shown. Real orinherent damping arises from friction in the material. For cracked concrete structures, damping is higher because of the rubbing together of jagged surfaces on either side of a crack. In analysis, we use an equivalent viscous damper primarily because of the mathematical convenience. (Damping force is proportional to ...
