Syntax

structuralDamping(structuralmodel,'proportional','Alpha',a,'Beta',b)
ab = structuralDamping(___)

Description

example

structuralDamping(structuralmodel,'proportional','Alpha',a,'Beta',b) specifies proportional (Rayleigh) damping parameters a and b for structuralmodel. The second argument must be 'proportional'.

ab = structuralDamping(___) returns the damping parameters object, using the previous syntax.

Examples

Open Live Script

Specify proportional (Rayleigh) damping parameters for a beam.

Create a transient structural model.

 structuralModel = createpde('structural','transient-solid');

Import and plot the geometry.

 gm = importGeometry(structuralModel,'SquareBeam.STL');
 pdegplot(structuralModel,'FaceAlpha',0.5)

Specify the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and mass density.

structuralProperties(structuralModel,'YoungsModulus',210E9,...
                                     'PoissonsRatio',0.3,...
                                     'MassDensity',7800);

Specify the Rayleigh damping parameters.

  StructuralDampingAssignment with properties:

      RegionType: 'Cell'
        RegionID: 1
    DampingModel: 'proportional'
           Alpha: 10
            Beta: 2

Input Arguments

Example: structuralmodel = createpde('structural','transient-solid')

Mass proportional damping, specified as a real number.

Data Types: double

Stiffness proportional damping, specified as a real number.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Handle to damping parameters, returned as a StructuralDampingAssignment object.
