Main task of thesis is to study the effect of Mode dependent Rayleigh damping on System response. Damping ratio for the structure is not constant for all modes and it varies mode wise. In present task different damping models are defined and used to obtain responses for transient system. Obtained responses show that there is considerable effect of mode dependent damping on response of the system. This outcome could be used for investigations of noise, harshness and fatigue.
