This command is used to construct a ViscousDamper material, which represents the Maxwell Model (linear spring and nonlinear dashpot in series). The ViscousDamper material simulates the hysteretic response of nonlinear viscous dampers. An adaptive iterative algorithm has been implemented and validated to solve numerically the constitutive equations within a nonlinear viscous damper with a high-precision accuracy.

uniaxialMaterial ViscousDamper $matTag $K $Cd $alpha <$LGap> < $NM $RelTol $AbsTol $MaxHalf>
$matTag integer tag identifying material
$K Elastic stiffness of linear spring to model the axial flexibility of a viscous damper (e.g. combined stiffness of the supporting brace and internal damper portion)
$Cd Damping coefficient
$alpha Velocity exponent
$LGap Gap length to simulate the gap length due to the pin tolerance
$NM Employed adaptive numerical algorithm (default value NM = 1; 1 = Dormand-Prince54, 2=6th order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton, 3=modified Rosenbrock Triple)
$RelTol Tolerance for absolute relative error control of the adaptive iterative algorithm (default value 10^-6)
$AbsTol Tolerance for absolute error control of adaptive iterative algorithm (default value 10^-10)
$MaxHalf Maximum number of sub-step iterations within an integration step (default value 15)

Examples:

1. Input parameters:
Assume a viscous damper with axial stiffness K=300.0kN/mm, damping coefficient Cd=280.3kN(s/mm)0.3, and exponent a=0.30.
The input parameters for the material should be as follows:
uniaxialMaterial ViscousDamper 1 300 280.3 0.30
Using these properties, Figure 1 shows the hysteretic response of this damper for sinusoidal displacement increments of 12, 24 and 36mm and a frequency f = 0.5Hz.
The sensitivity of the viscous damper with respect to its velocity exponent is shown in Figures 2 to 4 for the following set of parameters:
Viscous Damper with various input parameter variations
2. Single story single bay frame with viscous damper
