Abstract
Damping characteristics of mechanical systems subjected to steady state and transient loading are quantified in terms of power and energy dissipation. A mathematical model of a non-linear single degree of freedom system is used in developing power and energy dissipation equations for steady state and impulse transient loading. Simplified equations for power and energy dissipated in slightly non-linear systems are developed. More elaborate and accurate power and energy equations are also developed for grossly non-linear, impulse loaded systems. Assessment of the validity and accuracy of all equations developed, is facilitated by analog computer simulation studies.
