... Damping System Transmission Zero A large-scale structure can be lumped as a mass-dashpot-spring system. In the modeling process, it is well known that absolute structural damping is a rather difficult quantity to determine or even to estimate ( 1 ). Frequently, in the absence of more definitive...

...-locus technique, the interlacing property of transmission zeros and poles is investigated if the columns of the input matrix are in the column space generated by the transpose of the output matrix. It is verified that transmission zeros interlace with poles on a specific circle and the nonpositive real...
