β¦ Synopsis
This paper deals with the characterization of damping in dynamical structural systems. In particular, the problem of how the modal damping ratios change with di!erent boundary conditions is addressed. It is shown that only Rayleigh-type damping is actually independent of boundary conditions and modal damping ratios can be easily converted from one boundary condition to another. This condition applies independently to continuous, discrete and discretized systems.

Some results concerning decompositions of Kn, K,, -F (where F denotes a I-factor) and complements of a family of special cubic graphs into 2factors of the same type are given. In particular, if 2d is a divisor of n, it is shown that K, -F can be decomposed into 2-factors each of whose components is
