The vibration responses of structures under controlled or ambient excitation can be used to
detect structural damage by correlating changes in structural dynamic properties extracted …

Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the idea of viscous dam** in his classic work" The Theory
of Sound" in 1877, it has become standard practice to use this approach in dynamics …

Although the physical properties of a structure, such as stiffness, can be determined using
some statical tests, the identification of dam** parameters requires a dynamic test. In …

Proportional dam** is the most common approach to model dissipative forces in complex
engineering structures and it has been used in various dynamic problems for more than 10 …

Finite element model updating of metallic and composite structures—A state of the art

In a companion paper (see pp. 43–61 of this issue), it was shown that when a system is non-
viscously damped, an identified equivalent viscous dam** model does not accurately …

This paper proposes an accurate three-dimensional framework for elastic and viscoelastic
free vibration investigation of in-plane functionally graded (IPFG) orthotropic rectangular …
