Viscous Damping
Viscous damping can be added to the material models. It will cause an extra stress proportional to the rate of elastic strain in the material,
where ηb and ηv are the bulk and shear viscosity coefficients, respectively.
Viscous damping can be used in both frequency and time domain analyses.
In case of geometric nonlinearity, the viscous stress is treated as being a Cauchy stress acting in the actual configuration (spatial frame). The resulting contribution to the second Piola–Kirchhoff stress is calculated as
where Cel is the elastic Cauchy–Green tensor, is the rate of the elastic Green–Lagrange strain, and Jel is the elastic volume ratio.
When using artificial viscosity for shock capturing (Ref. 52), the bulk and shear viscosities are nonlinear functions of the strain rate
where cL and cQ are linear and quadratic tuning parameters, Le is the typical length of the element, ρ is the density, and c is the wave speed. The variable
is a measure of the shock amplitude, and it can be restricted to compressive strains only.
