Abstract
- Models of varying complexities are being used to represent the frequency-dependent dynamic force deformation characteristics of viscoelastic dampers. More sophisticated models with real or complex fractional derivatives can definitely capture the frequency-dependent properties better. However, since these advanced models add complexity in the analysis of structures, the use of two classical models—a Kelvin chain and a Maxwell ladder—consisting of usual dashpots and springs is suggested. In this technical note, we provide explicit steps and necessary formulas to calculate the parameters of these two proposed models to provide desired frequency-dependent characteristics represented by the storage and loss moduli.
