Abstract
This paper deals with free vibration analysis of damped mechanical systems, where the damping effects are modelled by a viscoelastic constitutive relation. The equations of motion are solved approximately by the displacement based Finite Element Method, FEM. The resulting FE equations is put as a nonlinear eigenproblem involving matrices of large order. We study a method to solve the nonlinear eigenproblem by means of rational Krylov, formulated in the RKS ALGORITHM. Numerical examples show that the proposed technique is effective and yields accurate solutions.
