But this is not how structural damping works. For example, if the entire beam translated up or down would you expect the beam to bend or not. The equation above would impose a distributed load. I am thinking structural damping has to do with resistance to changes in curvature and not changes in deflection. See this similar question that you might have some insight also. | |
