Modeling nonlinear lumped viscous damper

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, i m trying to model a plate where I attach some particle dampers modelled as a equivalent nonlinear viscous damping coefficient(Ceq) and a mass(Md). (lumped damper and mass).(see picture) The problem is that the equivalent nonlinear viscous damping coefficient depend on: levels of excitation (frequency ) ,the excitation velocity amplitude and the second invariant deviatoric stress. My question is: 1 how can i add Md and Ceq to the equation of motion Ma+Ks+Cv=F? My idea is using lumped mass-spring-damper physics but since Ceq is a big and complex equation depending on the above parameters should i instead PDE module (weak form ). 2) should i first study the plate without the damper and use the excitation velocity amplitude and the second invariant deviatoric stress result to add them to the full system? PS: i have solid mechanical structure physics coupled with pressure acoustic(frequency ).

i want to study the pressure attenuation in the air of the vibration of plate in frequency domain due to a point load.

I attach scheme of the plate plus dampers and equation that i have to implement. thanks in advanced

I think the best option is probably to addSpring-Damperfeatures in the Plate interface, and enter the long expression as damping coefficient.

This will give you a nonlinear frequency domain problem. The solver can handle this, though. Just be careful not to have anything that is nonlinear in the displacement. That is not compatible with the assumptions about harmonic variation of the displacements.

Thus, it is OK to have a damping coefficient that depends on the amplitudeabs(u), but not directly on the complex-valuedu.

Dear Henrik, since my model is mass-damper and not spring damper it could not work. I attach model to have an idea where the lumped mechanical system is attached to one point of the structure using some default value for damping and mass coefficient. My problem now are two: when i m trying to study the problem, i got an hanging node exactly where i put the discrete damper. (I have tried to refine the mesh but it's still not working or using create vertex). I add the coupling between the lumped and the mechanical structure but i do not know which are the source input and output of the coupling since it' all the structure that is coupled and not point. do you have any hint? PS i attach also the article which i m trying to reproduce: Vibration Response Prediction of Plate with Particle Dampers Using Cosimulation Method
