Model Updating for Systems with General Proportional Damping Using Complex FRFs by Xinhai Wu, Huan He, Yang Liu, Guoping Chen

“…However, the assumption of Rayleigh damping may result in large errors of damping for higher modes. To capture the variation of modal damping ratio with frequency in a more general way, the diagonal elements of the modal damping matrix and relaxation parameter are updated to characterize the damping energy dissipation of the structure by the proposed method. …”
