KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Classical Viscous Damping: The model of
damping based on Rayleigh's dissipation function
where the damping force depends on instantaneous
velocities.
Damper: A mechanical device added into
the parent structure to control the responses to
permissible limits.
Nonviscous Damping: The model of damping
in which the damping force depends on the past
history of velocities.
Optimal Positioning: Procedure for place-
ment of control devices in the parent frame to get
an optimal response.
