• Direction 1 is toward from local node 1 to node 2.
• Direction 2 is vertical direction of Direction 1.
•G11 to G33 represents the component of constitutive matrix in shell material.
• Damping Ratio (): Defines the damping ratio. The structural damping ratio of element and the damping matrix of is C computed from the following equation.
where:
: Damping Matrix
: Stiffness Matrix
: Damping Ratio
