rayleigh command

This command is used to assign damping to all previously-defined elements and nodes:

rayleigh $alphaM $betaK $betaKinit $betaKcomm

The damping matrix D is specified as a combination of stiffness and mass-proportional damping matrices:

D = $alphaM * M + $betaK * Kcurrent +$betaKinit * Kinit + $betaKcomm * KlastCommit

The mass and stiffness matrices are defined as:

M

mass matrix used to calculate Rayleigh Damping

Kcurrent

stiffness matrix at current state determination used to calculate Rayleigh Damping

Kinit

stiffness matrix at initial state determination used to calculate Rayleigh Damping

KlastCommit

stiffness matrix at last-committed state determination used to calculate Rayleigh Damping
