Modeling and Identification of Anisotropic Damping Property of Ni-Based Alloys by FEM-Simulation

The modeling and identification of anisotropic damping property of Ni based single crystal alloys are presented. The anisotropic material damping property is modeled by 3 D rheological equations and identified by using specimen modal damping ratios and FEM simulation. The measured damping ratios which exhibit strong anisotropy are predicted better by the method presented than by other methods.
