Standard linear solid model for dynamic and time dependent behaviour of building materials

摘要

Vibrations in building structures are almost always undesirable. Whether in form of low frequency oscillations, or droning of the structure, or as audible noise, they may effect the comfort of user. They may even effect the safety and the integrity of(parts of)the structure. Damping of mechanical Vibrations has always been a point of consideration for the engineer. Presently, it is of increasing inter- Est and importance for the building industry.
