Damping component
dissipates the energy enter into the structural system via work done on it.
There are several factors that produce structural damping. Friction is one of
the main ways to dissipate the energy by converting it into other forms. Such
friction can be produced between the connection of members, or via the abrasion
of the constitutive materials within a member.
Other than
that, element damage dissipates energy as the process itself consumes energy.
Installation of supplementary damping device is another method to improve the
damping of structure.
Normally, damping coefficient of a structure is not computable without conducting experiment.
The following introduces the damping component in a dynamic system. Watch the video above for full details.
