Abstract

Friction plays an important role in creating damping mechanism in structures.
In this paper a study was conducted to analyze coulomb friction damping and
frictional energy dissipation mechanism with stone blocks in a single degree
of freedom system by discrete and continuum modeling in finite element-
based software ABAQUS. Discrete and continuum modeling approach was
used in this study. It was found that both approaches gave similar results.
