Hi
Have you checked the pags 140++ of the smeug.pdf doc ? I believe that should give a reply, no ?
And do an indexed search of "Rayleigh Damping" on the docs, there are more in there, and in the other documents, even somewhere a matlab scripts to optimise the two variables
Have fun Comsoling

Hi Ivar,
I've checked the pages. I still think it's not that clear how to obtain the constants (alpha & beta). There is some information about damping in 'smeug.pdf' (pages 140-148, 199, 372). However, it seems that the procedure of the constant calculation is not clear. They address a reader to the Elbow Bracket example (smeug.pdf' pp 36-37). In this example, they assume that "the structure has a constant damping ratio of 0.1."...Actually, if we assume another number we will get different damping parameters.
I posted the question about this issue earlier (
www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/10886/)...
Please advise,
Stephan

Hi
the thing is that most damping in structures are not a material parameter issue but an assembly issue (welding, bolting, crimping "sqeezing" ...) and for these there are only the measured values that are valid, all the rest is only hypothesis

Good luck
