Analysis of Various Damping Models in The Simulation of the Seismic Response of Structures in the STARK ES Software by V. N. Simbirkin, Yu. V. Panasenko, V. V. Kurnavin

“…In this paper, a comparative analysis of three types of the damping models used to increase the calculated seismic resistance of structures is carried out. These are the models of nonlinear viscous dampers, in which the reactive force depends non-linearly on the velocity of the rod movement, equivalent (for an energy dissipated) linear-viscous dampers and equivalent (for a maximum force and an energy dissipated) elastic – perfectly plastic elements. …”
