A pseudo force iterative method with separate scale factors for dynamic analysis of structures with non proportional damping.

Dynamic equilibrium equations of structural systems with non proportional damping are coupled through the damping terms. Such coupling invalidates application of the classical modal superposition method. In this paper, a mode superposition pseudo force method is proposed. The coupled equilibrium equ...
