Multiple-degree-of-freedom linear asymmetric nonviscously damped systems are considered. It is assumed that the nonviscous damping forces depend on the past history of velocities via convolution integrals over exponentially decaying kernel functions. An extended state-space approach involving a single asymmetric matrix is proposed. The nature of the eigensolutions in the extended state space has been explored. Some useful results relating the modal matrix in the extended state space and the modal matrix in the original space has been derived. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the results.

This paper proposes a new iterative approach for the calculation of eigenvalues of single and multiple degree-of-freedom viscoelastic systems. The Biot model of viscoelasticity is assumed. With this model, the viscoelastic forces depend on the past history of motion via convolution integrals over exponentially decaying kernel functions. Current methods to solve this type of problem normally use the state-space approach involving additional internal variables. Such approaches often increase the order of the eigenvalue problem to be solved and can become computationally expensive for large systems. The method proposed in this paper is aimed to address this issue. In total, five iterative algorithms for the real and complex eigenvalues of single and multiple degree-of-freedom systems have been proposed. The results are obtained in terms of explicit closed-form expressions. This enables one to approximately calculate the eigenvalues of complex viscoelastic systems using the eigenvalues of the underlying elastic systems. Representative numerical examples are given to verify the accuracy of the derived expressions.

Identification of damping is an active area of research in structural dynamics. In one of the earliest works, Lancaster [1] proposed a method to identify the viscous damping matrix from measured natural frequencies and mode shapes. His method requires the modes to be normalized in a particular way, which in turn a priori needs the very same viscous damping matrix. A method, based on the poles and residues of the measured transfer functions, has been proposed to overcome this basic difficulty associated with Lancaster’s method. This approach is then extended to a class of nonviscously damped systems where the damping forces depend on the past history of the velocities via convolution integrals over some kernel functions. Suitable numerical examples are given to illustrate the modified Lancaster’s method developed here.

This paper proposes a new approach for the reduction in the model-order of linear multiple-degree-of-freedom viscoelastic systems via equivalent second-order systems. The assumed viscoelastic forces depend on the past history of motion via convolution integrals over kernel functions. Current methods to solve this type of problem normally use the state-space approach involving additional internal variables. Such approaches often increase the order of the eigenvalue problem to be solved and can become computationally expensive for large systems. Here, an approximate reduced second-order approach is proposed for this type of problems. The proposed approximation utilizes the idea of generalized proportional damping and expressions of approximate eigenvalues of the system. A closed-form expression of the equivalent second-order system has been derived. The new expression is obtained by elementary operations involving the mass, stiffness, and the kernel function matrix only. This enables one to approximately calculate the dynamical response of complex viscoelastic systems using the standard tools for conventional second-order systems. Representative numerical examples are given to verify the accuracy of the derived expressions.

Linear dynamics of Euler–Bernoulli beams with nonviscous nonlocal damping is considered. It is assumed that the damping force at a given point in the beam depends on the past history of velocities at different points via convolution integrals over exponentially decaying kernel functions. Conventional viscous and viscoelastic damping models can be obtained as special cases of this general damping model. The equation of motion of the beam with such a general damping model results in a linear partial integro-differential equation. Exact closed-form equations of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam are derived. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the new results.

Nonviscously damped vibrating systems are characterized by dissipative mechanisms depending on the time-history of the response velocity, introduced in the physical models using convolution integrals involving hereditary kernel functions. One of the most used damping viscoelastic models is the Biot's model, whose hereditary functions are assumed to be exponential kernels. The free-motion equations of these types of nonviscous systems lead to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem enclosing certain number of the so-called nonviscous modes with nonoscillatory nature. Traditionally, the nonviscous modes (eigenvalues and eigenvectors) for nonproportional systems have been computed using the state-space approach, computationally expensive. In this paper, we address this problem developing a new method, computationally more efficient than that based on the state-space approach. It will be shown that real eigenvalues and eigenvectors of viscoelastically damped system can be obtained from a linear eigenvalue problem with the same size as the physical system. The numerical approach can even be enhanced to solve highly damped problems. The theoretical results are validated using a numerical example.
