Damping is material or system property that is characterized by energy dissipation in a
vibration. Analysis of mechanical vibrations without damping is a mathematical fiction, which …

In this paper an analysis of influence of three type of damping on free vibration of elastic
systems is presented. Linear viscous, nonlinear viscous and dry friction damping were …

In constructions exploited to a dynamical load it is very important to have possibility of
control and increasing of internal damping. This is also case in frame towers where wind …

In this paper an influence of connection type to the damping in frame towers is analysed. A
tower model with riveted and screwed joints is tested. Natural modes of the tower model are …
