Abstract: |
Time-history analysis of a multiple-degree-of-freedom system with non-viscous damping is considered. In the non-viscous damped system, the damping force relates with the velocity time history by a convolution integral between the velocity and a decaying kernel function in its mathematical formulation. By transforming the equation of motion into a first-order extended state-space representation, the precise integration technique is employed to numerically solve the state-space equation. Two examples are given. The results show that the proposed method herein gives almost theoretically accurate solutions to the non-viscous damped system, and at the same time its computational efficiency has increased ten-fold. |
