Modelling of The Viscoelastic Composite Curved Panel for The Time Domain Analysis Using TTBDF, β1 / β2−Bathe and Newmark Method
Abstract: Viscoelastic materials are extensively used in structures, especially thin-walled structures, for damping. The accurate modelling of the time domain dynamics of the viscoelastic material is essential for appropriately capturing the damping of the viscoelastic material. Various implicit and explicit time integration schemes are available to evaluate time domain response. However, the rightness of the implementation of the time integration scheme to the viscoelastic material model is very essential. In this …
