“…Thus, to account for the frequency dependent material properties, iterative versions of the MSE have been used successfully for moderate damping values [22]. Time domain models, relying on internal variables (see [23]), such as the Golla-Hughes-McTavish (GHM) [24,25] and anelastic displacement fields (ADF) [26,27], or others [28,29], utilizing additional dissipation variables, have been successfully utilized and yield good damping estimates. Alternatively, the use of fractional calculus (FC) [30,31] models, based upon the use of fractional derivatives, has the drawback of generating a "non-standard" finite element (FE) formulation, with a more complex characteristic solution procedure, but yielding also good damping estimates.…”
