Equations of motion for non-proportionally damped structures cannot be decoupled by using the real normal modes. For such structures, the complex normal modes are in common use for this purpose, but for the validation of finite element mass and stiffness matrices where physical damping matrices are

β¦ Synopsis
Proportional or modal damping is often used as a simpli"ed approach to model the e!ect of damping in linear vibrational mechanical systems. However, there are cases in which a general viscous damping is needed to simulate the dynamic of the system with su$cient accuracy. The scope of this paper is to investigate the di!erence between proportional and general viscous damping models. In case of general viscous damping, the modal marix of the underlying general eigenvalue problem depends on an orthonormal matrix, which represents the phase between di!erent degrees of freedom of the model. It will be shown that in the case of proportional damping this orthogonal matrix becomes the identity matrix, which enables a real-valued normalisation of the modal matrix. Consequently, this orthogonal matrix can serve as a measure of the di!erence between proportional and general viscous damping models. Applications of the concept are demonstrated by two simulation examples.

## Abstract Dynamic equilibrium equations of structural systems with nonβproportional damping are coupled through the damping terms. Such coupling invalidates application of the classical modal superposition method. In this paper, a modeβsuperposition pseudoβforce method is proposed. The coupled eq
A non-linearly damped single-degree-of-freedom (s.d.o.f.) system under broadband random excitation is considered. A procedure for in-service identi"cation of the damping characteristic from measured stationary response is described. The procedure is based on the stochastic averaging method. The expl
In this paper, a solution method is presented to solve the eigenproblem arising in the dynamic analysis of non-proportional damping systems with symmetric matrices. The method is based on the Lanczos method to generate one pair of Krylov subspaces consisting of trial vectors, which is then used to r
