I went to get my MS degree in mechanical engineering from a top 10 engineering program (in the USA). I was funded as a researcher for the degree. I was offered funding for stick around for the PhD (it would be about 2 more years). I'm unsure about a PhD in Engineering though. I have heard...
MAIN QUESTION:
Is there a procedure/method for approximating the damping properties (Rayleigh coefficients for example) of a structure when you have no data on the damping [and you cannot run experiments to determine the damping properties]?
I was wondering if there is a way I could quickly...
