4 What is damping? Damping... is the dissipation of energy by vibrating systems. Damping has to be separated from: Isolation... avoids vibrations to enter or to leave a system, ˆx Absorption... is achieved by counter-vibrating masses mounted on the excited structure, such that the excited structure itself is not vibrating. ω

5 Why is modeling of damping important? Continuous increase of simulation in the product development phase dynamic vehicle behavior MBS flexible structures FEM damping? comfort analysis Damping may have major impact on the simulation results!!! Remark: Up to date, it is not possible to determine structural damping without experimental investigations.

6 Mechanisms of damping Material damping Viscoelasticity Heat flux Dislocation climb... Joint damping Microslip Gas-pumping / Squeeze-film-damping... Fluid-structure-interaction with surrounding medium Viscous damping Sound radiation... Coatings etc...

19 Conclusions & upcoming challenges Negligible influence of specimen width in linear damping Effect of air inertia is higher than its damping properties, but is still negligible in comparison to the inertia properties of steel Damping due to Fluid-Structure-Interaction depends highly on the surrounding environment Stochastic damping model for unknown environments or fixed test case?
