    Finite element model of a viscoelastically supported plate

    Thank you GBor. I actually have the value of the edges' viscoelastic elements, expressed as a complex stiffness (where the complex component represents the energy dissipation). What I would like to know is how to directly add that stiffness to the stiffness matrix [K], which already exists. I'm...

    Finite element model of a viscoelastically supported plate

    Hi, I currently have the FE model of a plate, that is, the matrices [K] and [M] are already built. Now I would like to add the effect of viscoelastic supports, located at the plate's edges, to the stiffness matrix [K]. Those supports have a complex stiffness in the form K(1 + in). Is there a...
