Nonclassically damping comes from drastic variations of energy absorption rates of the materials in different parts of structures, or from the external damping sources inserted into the structures. In this study, an approximate method based on the real valued normal modes to analyze the responses of a nonclassically damped system under stationary random excitations has been suggested. The dynamic responses of an aircraft landing gear under stationary random excitations has been analyzed using the proposed method. It has been found by a series of simulation that this method is superior to other approaches in respect of computational effort and accuracy.

Nonclassically damping domes from drastic variations of energy absorption rates of the materials in different parts of structures, or from the external damping sources inserted into the structures. In this study, an approximate method to calculate the frequency response of a method is superior to other approaches in respect of computational effort and accuracy. In addition, when frequency response is calculated by neglecting the off-diagonal elements of modal damping matrix, a criterion to ensure small errors is derived. In is shown that the criterion can be described as the vector sum of each modal coupling to the corresponding mode.
