Abstract

PurposeExtended from the classic Rayleigh damping model in structural dynamics, the Caughey damping model allows the damping ratios to be specified in multiple modes while satisfying the orthogonality conditions. Despite of these desirable properties, Caughey damping suffers from a few major drawbac...
