On the Harmonic Response of Non- Proportionally Damped Structures

1987-9
Although the response of a proportionally damped structure can easily be determined by modal analysis, the prediction of the response of a non-proportionally damped structure requires either more expensive computations or some approximations. Approximate methods cannot predict the in-phase components of harmonic responses accurately around a resonance. However, it has been shown in previous studies that in-phase components may dominate the harmonic displacement at some points when the system is excited around a resonance. In this study the spacewise distribution of in-phase components of harmonic responses of non-proportionally damped structures, and of the contribution of these components to total responses are studied. The effects of damping level, non-proportionality and the exciting frequency are shown by using the numerical results obtained for several non-proportionally damped fixed-fixed beams.
