Strand7:Web notes:Damping
Use of damping in dynamic analysis We receive many questions from users regarding the use of damping in dynamic analysis. The most common question is what values of damping should be used in a particular problem. This is difficult to answer. The factors that influence damping are complex and model dependent and thus it is not possible to give a definitive answer. The following discussion should provide the necessary background for users to determine an acceptable value of damping for many applications. Typical published values of damping are:
Conti nuou s Metal St ructures
2% - 4%
Jointed (Bolt ed) Structures
4% - 7%
Prest ressed Concret e Structures
2% - 5%
Reinf orced Con cre te St ructures
4% - 7%
Smal l Di amete r Pip ing System s
1% - 2%
Equipment/Larg e Di am eter Pipes
2% - 3%
These figures are given as a percentage of critical damping. Critical damping is the amount of damping which will cause a vibrating structure structure to reach an eq uilibrium state without any oscillatory behaviour. Only a broad range of damping can be given for each type of structure since there are many factors and design details that influence the damping. Also the damping characteristics of a structure are often nonlinear. The lower values of damping may occur when the structure undergoes small deflections at low levels of stress. At higher levels of stress and larger vibration amplitudes the damping may be at the upper end of the range given. Using values of damping from reference texts is at best approximate. The acceptability of using such values really depends on the analysis being carried out. In some cases the magnitude of damping is not significant. An example is a simple harmonic analysis in which the response is to be determined at some excitation frequency between two of the natural frequencies. This can be seen in the figure. The value of damping ratio used will have almost no effect on the results and published values of damping ratio should be adequate.

In other cases we may wish to calculate the response at or near resonance; that is the response when the structure is excited at or near its natural frequency. In this case the magnitude of the response is controlled solely by damping. Once again this can be seen in the figure. If a structure has zero damping the resonant response will be infinite. If you are trying to calculate the response in a resonant condition then values of damping obtained from books may not be sufficiently accurate. It may be necessary to measure the actual damping ratio by experiment on the real structure. In most dynamic analysis work, published damping ratios are of sufficient accuracy since it is rare to design structures that operate at or close to the resonant frequency. However, published values should not be used blindly. Some attempt should be m ade to establish their source and to make a qualitative judgement on which value, within the given range, is applicable to the structure in question. If the analysis is such that published damping ratios can be used, it is a good idea to do a sensitivity study, to assess the likely error resulting from inaccuracies in the assumed damping ratio. Several runs should be made with values of damping spread over the range given in the texts and the effect of this on the response assessed. If the response varies greatly, this is an indication that the damping should be experimentally determined. Considerable judgement is required by the user in the choice of the damping ratio. The value used depends on the design, loading and vibration modes of the structure.
