Some comments on the evaluation of mass and stiffness damping factors for 'NEWPAC' transient analyses. (TM-EA-38)

The NEWPAC transient analysis facility allows the possibility of adding damping to the system additional to that arising from explicitly stated damping elements. The additional damping (e.g. that arising from the structure itself) is considered to be a function of the mass and stiffness of the system and the full...
