... and stress control by nonlinear restoring force and nonlinear damping force. As mentioned in Refs. [ 23 – 25 ], the nonlinear damping force will not change the nonresonant responses. It is also correct for a continuous structure. Figure 8 provides a wideband comparison of responses with different nonlinear...

... of the nonlinear damping of composite laminates subject to large Green–Lagrange axial strains and assuming a Kelvin viscoelastic solid. An extended beam finite element is developed capable of providing the nonlinear stiffness and damping matrices of the system. The linearized damped free-vibration equations...
