Conclusions
Close inspection of real structures suggests that viscous damping is not a good representative for MDOF systems.All structures show a degree of structural damping.Structural damping acts like an imaginary stiffness in frequency domain.Modulus vs. Frequency and Nyquist type plots for FRFs are more common.
