Influence of Nonviscous Damping on Seismic Inelastic Displacements
Viscous damping, which assumes a resisting force proportional to the instantaneous velocity, results in energy dissipation that increases linearly with frequency. Such energy dissipation, however, is not strongly supported by experiments. The energy dissipative characteristics of damping can be improved by nonviscous hereditary model, where the damping force is treated as dependent on the response history. A weighting function with built-in exponential decay can be used to represent the fading memory of damping where the recent history is given a greater influence over its distant past. This paper investigates the seismic response of structures using exponentially decaying nonviscous damping and compares the response with that of classical viscous damping. Preliminary results show an increase in inelastic displacements in the exponential damping model for both normal and near-fault ground motions. As part of the study, system characteristics of the exponential damping model are investigated.
