Abstract
Non-viscous damping models in which the damping forces depend on the past history of velocities via convolution integrals over some kernel functions have been raised in many engineering fields. This paper describes an explicit computational method of dynamic response for the non-viscously damped structure systems. The explicit formula is derived using the differential property of convolution and the central difference formula of acceleration. The explicit computational procedure of dynamic response is given in detail. Finally, the dynamic responses of MDOF structure system with double exponential model dampers and SDOF structure system with Gaussian model damper are computed using the proposed explicit method. The accuracy and efficiency are discussed by comparison with other two developed methods.
