3.2.4 Strain Energy Based Element Damping
For structural elements you may specify an element damping factor
he
, based on strain energy.
If you do so then
DIANA can calculate and output the modal damping factors hi
in a free vibration eigenvalue analysis
[Vol. Analysis Procedures].

specifies the strain energy based proportional
damping coefficient
