Viscous Dampers for Optimal Reduction in Seismic Response
To model dissipation of energy in vibrating civil structures, existence of viscous damping is commonly assumed primarily for mathematical convenience. In such a classical damper, the damping force is assumed to depend only on the velocity of deformation. Fluid viscous dampers that provide this type...
