Damping coefficients by experiments and the application to transient FE analyses of cable trays

Damping entails significant effects in transient analyses, and it is a mistake to ignore it to reach a conservative solution. It is also possible that the analysis delivers no meaningful results. For steel structures, a dimensionless damping coefficient of 1% of the critical damping is widely accepted; however, for structures consisting of several materials, damping coefficients may be higher and estimating them reliably is very important. Nevesbu has written a paper in which the case of damping in a cable pack supported by a steel tray is studied. On Wednesday, 12 June, our specialists Jack Reijmers and Alessandro Zambon will present this paper at the NAFEMS congress in Staffordshire, UK.
