The Mechanical Damping subnode allows you to model mechanical losses in the
Piezoelectric Material and , either using loss factor material data for the stiffness, or in the form of Rayleigh proportional damping.
When the damping model differs between layers, you will need to add several Mechanical Damping nodes with different layer selections. If the model is the same, and only the material data values differ, you can for most models use a single
Mechanical Damping node with
From material. The data for each layer is then received from global
Layered Material nodes.
