Summary: This study examines the relationship between internal viscous damping and stiffness of concrete material and structure with small deformation amplitudes. The results show that the energy dissipation capacity is proportional to the loss factor and stiffness, while the vibration-amplitude attenuation rate is proportional to the damping ratio and natural frequency. The proposed improved damping suspension test method is validated through experimental and finite element analysis.

Summary: This study analyzed the transient and steady responses of a single degree of freedom system based on viscous damping and hysteretic damping models. The results showed that the dynamic responses based on the two damping models were approximately equal in small damping cases, but the difference between the two models gradually increased with the increase in damping ratio.

Summary: Undesired oscillations often occur in numerical solutions, especially in dynamic problems. Damping effect in numerical methods can eliminate or reduce these spurious oscillations for accurate results. This article introduces a novel numerical method using viscous damping to define a variety of damping curves accurately, particularly suitable for applications where damping characteristics significantly affect accuracy.

Summary: The half-power bandwidth method for calculating structural damping parameters using frequency response functions (FRFs) is proposed in this note. The method is applied to displacement FRFs, velocity FRFs, and acceleration FRFs based on viscous and hysteretic damping models. The results show that the method has limited application conditions for displacement and acceleration FRFs but can be widely used for velocity FRFs, making it the preferred choice for calculating damping parameters.

Summary: This article introduces multi-level amplitude damping channels that generalize concepts in quantum information theory to finite-dimensional quantum systems, and computes the quantum and private classical capacities associated with these channels. By exploiting degradability, data-processing inequalities, and channel isomorphism, the authors extend the set of models whose capacity can be computed known so far.

Summary: This paper introduces the concept of effective damping ratio enhancement (EDRE) effect to describe the better seismic control performance of a tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD) compared to a bare energy dissipation element (EDE) with the same damping coefficient. The relationship between the response mitigation ratio, effective damping ratio, and the EDRE factor is revealed through theoretical analysis and parametric study. The paper also proposes a closed-form solution for the optimal design parameters of TVMD. Numerical examples are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed TVMD design methodology.

Summary: In this study, the large-amplitude rolling motion of a ship was investigated using the harmonic balance method, Newton linearization, and Galerkin method. The accuracy of the analytical approximate solution was verified by comparing with the numerical solution. The results showed that the third-order analytical approximation had a higher accuracy for small and large amplitudes. Based on the analytical approximate solution, the influence of nonlinear quadratic damping and nonlinear restoring moment on the global stability of the ship under different amplitudes was analyzed. The theoretical results can guide the design and stability analysis of large rolling motions of ships.

Summary: Twins were introduced into pure Mg for pre-deformation in this study, and the strain amplitude dependent damping behavior was investigated. A hysteresis loop was observed in the damping curve as the strain amplitude cycled. The results indicate a transition in damping behavior at a specific strain amplitude, with increased pre-strain leading to increased damping.

Summary: This paper investigates the nonlinear vibration of large-amplitude asymmetric response during ship roll motion, revealing the influence of critical parameters such as initial roll amplitude, added mass, quadratic damping, and nonlinear restoring moment on the asymmetric roll response and capsize tendency. Increases in initial roll amplitude or quadratic damping strengthen the asymmetric response and capsize tendency, while increases in added mass or nonlinear restoring moment weaken them. Additionally, any increase in these parameters results in a decrease in vibration frequency.

Summary: This study investigates the stability features of spatially spreading heated jets in the viscous regime with real gas effects, using both unsteady two-dimensional axisymmetric simulations and linear analyses. The study confirms that including real gas effects in the stability equations has a strong effect on the growth rate of the global mode. Linear global analyses over the time-averaged states provide a satisfying prediction of the oscillation's frequency and the baroclinic torque obtained from the resulting global mode matches well with that of the simulations.

Summary: This paper investigates the vibration behavior of functionally graded orthotropic toroidal shell segments at large amplitudes. Nonlinear motion equations are established using shear deformation theory and harmonic equilibrium method. Frequency amplitude relationships and the nonlinear frequency to linear-frequency ratio are obtained. The results are compared to those in the literature and numerical calculations demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of the proposed formulation. Heterogeneity is found to have an effect on the vibrational behavior.

Summary: A proportional viscous damping model based on a bell-shaped basis function has been proposed, with new parameters introduced to control the bandwidth while maintaining computational efficiency. These modifications make the model versatile in matching any smooth damping ratio curve, particularly for curves with drastic changes in damping ratios over a short frequency interval.
