Critical damping of structures with elastically supported visco-elastic dampers.

This paper presents a new formulation for critical damping of structures with elastically supported visco-elastic dampers. Owing to the great dependence of damper performance on the support stiffness, this model is inevitable of reliable modelling of structures with visco-elastic dampers. It is show...
