Modeling of energy dissipation (damping) in large space structures / author: P.C. Hughes ; prepared by: Dynacon Enterprises Ltd.: Co24-3/1-82-024E-PDF
"The one fact about structural dissipation that is agreed to by all concerned is that the damping effect is not pronounced, but 'light'. In this report it is shown that this important qualitative characteristic can lead to a number of quantitative conclusions of practical significance"--Summary, page vi.
