Using Correct Damping in Model Answered
Hi everyone.
I am simulating ultrasound through Titanium grain structure and to get an accurate representation of how the wave attenuates through the material, I need to consider the damping of the model. However, I am not sure how to select the appropriate values.
c Crystal Stiffness properties
symb c11 = 160e9
symb c12 = 90e9
symb c13 = 66e9
symb c33 = 191.7e9
symb c44 = 46.5e9
symb rho = 4430
c ***********************************************************************************************************
c Titanium Material
c ***********************************************************************************************************
type lean
wvsp off
prop titm $rho
$c11 $c12 $c13 0.0 0.0 0.0 $c11
$c13 0.0 0.0 0.0 $c33 0.0 0.0
0.0 $c44 0.0 0.0 $c44 0.0 $c44
do loopI I 1 $nmat 1
copy titm matr$I
axis matr$I matAx$I
rdmp matr$I $freqdamp db .3 1.2 700000. 1. 0.01
end$ loopI
Where I have included my rdmp line of code. I have no idea how I can implement the proper longitudinal and Shear Q Factor. These values of .0.3 and 1.2 I have just chosen at whim.
And from the command help I need to satisfy a range of options
rdmp matname centfreq option dilatation shear frequency expv distance exps
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave :)

Hi Dave,
Getting the damping correct for your model can be tricky. Have a look at this article. We also have MATLAB files that plot the damping model performance for the input settings here.
I hope this helps!
