SOLVERS Home: Rayleigh Damping
Description
Sets the Rayleigh damping constants and displays the effective damping ratio over a range of frequencies.
Frequencies
Two frequency values and two corresponding damping ratios are required. From these, the stiffness, 
, and mass, 
, proportionality constants are calculated.
Alpha, Beta
The stiffness, 
, and mass, 
, proportionality constants are defined directly.
Display Range
Specifies the lower and upper limits of the horizontal axis on the graph. These values do not affect the results of the analysis as the relationship is continuously defined for all frequencies greater than zero.
