Viscoelastic (VE) dampers as passive control device for high-rise buildings has recently gained research interest due to its effectiveness in dissipating both seismic and wind-induced vibrations. Evaluation of VE damper’s dynamic properties is considered to be computationally expensive due to its complex properties and consideration of heat conduction and transfer effects. A simplified method to predict dynamic properties of two-layered dampers has already been proposed but is limited only in steady state. This paper proposes an extension of that prediction method to the transient state considering the effects of heat conduction and transfer regardless of the number of damper layers.
