Have you ever wondered how you can drive your car so smoothly despite the bumps on the road? This is due to the shock absorbers that absorb shocks and vibrations. This mechanism is called damping and is present in most engineering systems, so it is important to consider it in the analysis. However, unlike the elastic modulus, damping cannot be measured directly and is often estimated through testing or other industrial procedures. In this video, we will learn how to define different types of damping in dynamic analysis using the mode superposition solution method in Ansys Mechanical.
