Purdue Aeroelasticity
A few preliminaries
Differences between viscous and structural
damping
Viscous damping
– Energy dissipation due to heat generation from
viscous fluid drag in a fluid
Structural damping in metals
– Sometimes called “hysteretic damping”
– Due to slipping between micro surfaces
– Heat is generated and energy dispersed
– Different from viscous mechanism
– Magnitude of energy loss depends upon material
type and mode of vibration

3
Purdue Aeroelasticity
Work done by viscous damping is
the area inside a hysteresis loop
4
Purdue Aeroelasticity
Energy expended by the viscous forces
(work done)
work done by
viscous force
is negative or
dissipative
5
Purdue Aeroelasticity
A different case - Dissipative structural damping -
internal damping forces-not velocity dependent
The constant
is material and
displacement
dependent
Torsional motion
damping is
different than
plunge damping.
Why?
7
Purdue Aeroelasticity
Write the “viscous” equation of
motion using equivalent structural
damping
Use a complex
solution approach
