Summary
In this paper, the design sensitivity of dynamic characteristics of planar frames with
viscoelastic (VE) dampers mounted on them is considered in detail. A family of
classical rheological models is adopted to describe the VE damper behaviour. The
dynamic characteristics of structures are determined as a solution to the
appropriately defined quadratic or linear eigenvalue problem. The adjoint variable
method is used to determine the above mentioned sensitivity. In particular, the
design sensitivity of the dynamic characteristics of the system with respect to
damper's parameters is analyzed. Moreover, the results of typical calculations are
presented and discussed.
